'''Demigirl''', also known as d'''emiwoman''', '''demifemale''', or '''demilady''', is a [[demigender]] [[gender identity|identity]] describing someone who partially identifies as a [[woman]] or girl. In addition to feeling partially like a girl or woman, demigirls also feel partly another [[gender]] or combination of genders that can include anything under the [[non-binary]] umbrella, like [[agender]], [[genderqueer]], [[Xenogender|xenogenders]], or [[anonbinary]], for example, but it can also include [[boy]].

[[Demifemme]] is a superset of demigirl. It is for someone who isn't comfortable with having a gendered term like female, woman, girl, etc., in their gender label. The [[Masculinity|masculine]] equivalent of demigirl is [[demiboy]].

==History==
The first known mention of demigirl was on December 11th, 2010, by a user named [https://www.asexuality.org/en/profile/28822-bristrek/ bristrek87]. They asked on the Asexuality Visibility and Education Network about the term demigirl, and was looking for information, but could only find a little bit that was from the Yada Wiki.<ref name="first mention"/>

In response, [https://www.asexuality.org/en/profile/35070-a-long-time-ago/ Am I Human] claimed that the people who worked on the wikis for [[Demigender|demigenders]] had been coined there, but no exact dates can be found, and the definition is slightly different to the most common definition used today. The given definition is "...either someone AFAB who feels the barest association with womanhood or an [[non-binary]] AMAB person who is [[transfeminine]], and feels a vague association with [[femininity]]".

"Demigirl" and "[[Demiboy|Demiguy]]" were added to the AVEN Gender Definitions Masterlist on December 12th, 2010.<ref>[https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/159465-gender-definitions-masterlist-forum-ettiquette-and-faq/ gender-definitions, ettiquette-and-faq on asexuality.org]</ref>

By October 14th, 2011, "demigirl" and "demiguy" had been added to the Genderqueer Identities & Terminology page of the popular blog [https://genderqueerid.com/gq-terms Genderqueerid].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20111014042115/http://genderqueerid.com:80/gq-terms GENDERQUEER IDENTITIES on genderqueerid.com]</ref>

The blog owner, [https://marilynroxie.com/ABOUT Marilyn Roxie], had collected data for a survey of [[genderqueer]] people that year, (September 15th - October 15th) and added both demigirl and demiboy as options. Seven people selected "demigirl", and nine people selected "demiboy".<ref>[https://genderqueerid.com/gqhealth Genderqueer Health: Mind and Body Survey]</ref>

This led to an increase in awareness, and by early 2014, the prefix "demi-" was commonly known in relation to genders. At some point between October 2011 and 2014 the common definition of demigirl shifted from the previously stated definition to "someone who is partially a girl". On October 2nd, 2014, [https://www.deviantart.com/cari-rez-lobo Cari-Rez-Lobo] made a symbol for demigirl.<ref name="Cari-Rez-Lobo Gender Symbols">[https://www.deviantart.com/cari-rez-lobo/art/Gender-Symbols-486052086 Cari-Rez-Lobo's Gender Symbols post]</ref>
