Fenby, also known as Femenby, Finby, or Finenby, is a gender identity for those who identify as feminine and non-binary. It is not to be confused with non-binary woman, feminenby, and girlby, as fenby is not necessarily connected to womanhood. Fenbies may fluctuate between a feminine identity and any non-binary identity, or they may identify as both simultaneously, as if it is a combination or two identities. The feminine and non-binary genders are fused together into one gender. This may also be used as a term to describe non-binary people with a feminine gender presentation, regardless of whether or not their gender itself is feminine. The male counterpart is menby.
