It can be a broadly digital gender or it can be a specific digital thing or file, such as virus, malware, .txt, .mp3, antivirus, trojan, email, etc. These digital entities can also be extended to media codecs, creating a codecgender.It can also be used a prefix to combine with other genders (digiboy, digigirl, etc.). Digigender is most commonly used by people who are robotkin or similar kintypes, but one does not have to be either of these to identify as digigender.
