'''Boi''' is a term for Black [[transgender]] and/or [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] individuals. It is similar to boy but is separate from the white/western gender binary. The name draws inspiration from African American Vernacular English (AAVE). This definition is exclusive to Black individuals.
The feminine counterpart is [[qirl]], although it it not an exact opposite.

Use of boi outside of LGBT+ spaces, and the first recorded usages of boi, seems to be strongly associated with Black men's culture. The term appears to have been adopted, possibly independently by multiple subcultures during the 1990s.
Boi, as a Black exclusive gender identity, was coined on June 6, 2015 by Tumblr user Vmerli.<ref>https://vmerli-blog.tumblr.com/post/120861258933/gender-identities-i-thought-more-people-should</ref>
