Linproche refers to a gender expression that is androgynous, despite having a gender that is not. A linproche can have any alignment, they are not necessarily androgyne-aligned/eclipsian. For example, an androgynous man or woman may identify as linproche. A masculine, feminine or neutral aligned non-binary person who presents androgynously may also identify as linproche. It is an identity where one's gender non-conformity is an integral part of one's queer experience.
Linproche is also occasionally used as a synonym for proxangi.
Etmology
The word linproche is inspired by the terms "homproche" and "femproche". Lin comes from "lingender", meaning all androgynous genders, while proche is a French word that means "near". Together, these terms come together to mean "near or approaching androgyny".
