Joyfriend

Joyfriend is a term that can refer to a partner in a relationship who identifies as any gender on the non-binary spectrum. However, those who are non-binary do not have to use this term.

Similar terms include: enbyfriend, datemate, bothfriend, theyfriend, birlfriend, voidfriend, and goyfriend. It should be noted that goyfriend is a less popular term, because goy is a slang term used by Jewish people to refer to non-Jews. Goyfriend should be treated as an exclusive-term.
