Genderfae

Genderfae, also known as genderdoe or genderthil, is a form of genderfluidity that never encompasses male or masculine genders. Genderfae people can be fluid between any range of feminine genders, unaligned genders (such as aporagender), or genderlessness, but never masculine genders. Genderfae is sometimes considered a non-masculine subset of fluidflux.

The alternative terms genderdoe and genderthil have been coined for those who do not want to use "fae".

The masculine complement to genderfae is genderfaun.

Variants of genderfae include:


 * Genderfaer: Never a binary man, but can experience masculine genders.
 * Demifae: Part of one's identity is genderfae, the other is not.

A term within the genderfae umbrella is genderselkie, where the nonbinary genders experienced are often xenic.

Demifae
Demifae is a gender which is partially static and partially fluid. The fluid part of the gender fluctuates between identities which are not male, male-aligned, or masculine. The static part of the gender is undefined, and can be anything, so it varies from individual to individual.

History
The term was supposedly coined anonymously in 2014, on the now defunct blog "mogai-archive". The genderfae flag was designed by the users Pride-Flags and Superpopcorn101 on Deviantart on January 9, 2017. The colours don't have individual meanings, but the range purposefully doesn't include blue to indicate never including masculine genders. A pastel colour scheme was used to give the flag a more "fae" feeling.
