Genderfaun, also known as genderfawn, is a form of genderfluidity that never encompasses female or feminine genders. Genderfaun individuals can be fluid between any range of masculine genders, unaligned genders (such as aporagender), or genderlessness (such as agender), but never any feminine genders. Some may consider genderfaun to be a non-feminine subset of genderfluid.
It is the compliment to genderfae.
Variants of genderfaun include:
- Genderfaunet: Never a binary woman, but can experience feminine genders.
- Demifaun: Part of one's identity is genderfaun, another is not.
- Librafaun: Mostly agender, but has a connection that fluctuates between masculine and non-binary gender. Like genderfaun, it never encompasses feminine genders.
A term within the genderfaun umbrella is gendersatyr, where the nonbinary genders experienced are often xenic.
