'''Femache''' is a [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] gender in which one simultaneously experiences maleness or masculinity and femaleness or femininity. It is similar to [[androgyne]], however androgyne can be used to describe a single gender that exists somewhere in between male and female, while femache is typically described as when one experiences a male gender and a female gender at the same time, as two distinct genders. Femache does not necessarily have to be a 50/50 split. One may or may not experience other genders. It is sometimes used interchangeably with [[Male-Female|male-female]].

== History ==

Femache was coined via beyond-mogai-pride-flags on October 1, 2018<ref>https://beyond-mogai-pride-flags.tumblr.com/post/178644762070/femache-pride-flag</ref>. The name is a combination of the Spanish/Portuguese words ''fêmea/fembra'' and ''macho'' but with an -e suffixed to make the word neutral. The flag is a combination of the male and female stamp flags made by Bentonthefoxkin on DeviantArt.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/thegayfoxboy/art/Male-Man-Boy-Stamp-736782061</ref><ref>https://www.deviantart.com/thegayfoxboy/art/Female-Stamp-736782752</ref>

Arco-pluris then suggested other words, since some pointed out it's too similar to headache in English: machembre, femal<ref>https://beyond-mogai-pride-flags.tumblr.com/post/624498693056380928</ref> and macheme.<ref>https://arco-pluris.tumblr.com/post/624904660424196096/useful-west-iberian-words-for-sheher-men-hehim</ref>
