Fenby, also known as femenby, finby, femby, 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 be fluid 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 may be fused together into one gender.
This can also be used as a term to describe non-binary individuals with a feminine gender presentation, regardless of whether or not their gender itself is feminine.
Femmenby is a femme-specific term for non-binary individuals.
The masculine counterpart is menby.
History & Etymology

Fenby was re-coined by FANDOM user Unfunny person420 on March 14, 2021. The flag was created by the same person on the same day. "Fenby" is a combination of "feminine" and "enby."
