'''Nymboy''' or '''Abinboy''' refers to an [[abinary]] boy, a person who identifies as a boy but in a way removed entirely from the [[Binary Genders|gender binary]]. It is a type of boyhood that lacks ties to the gender-binary, including a relationship to binary boyhood, manhood, maleness, cisness, male-[[Galactian Alignments|alignment]], binary masculinity, and most other widespread connotations of boyhood. Nymboys may even see their boyhood as [[anonbinary]] or something else entirely. It is a boyhood that is not [[gendervir]] in any way. ▼

'''Nymboy''' or '''Abinboy''' refers to an [[Abinary]] [[Boy]], or a boy who defines their boyhood in a way distinct from the gender “boy” as it exists in the [[gender binary]]. Nymboys may see their boyhood as [[Anonbinary]], or something else entirely.<ref name=":0">https://web.archive.org/web/20210105125637/https://xenoleaf.tumblr.com/post/627987033984532480/nymboy</ref><ref name=":1">https://web.archive.org/web/20240225031524/https://www.tumblr.com/accidentalmogai/632547039844220928/nymboy-flags</ref>

* Using the word boy in contexts which do not pertain to the gender binary.
* Feeling as though their boyhood is unrelated to or cannot be explained in relation to girlhood.
* Having a gender that sounds like the word boy but is spelled differently, and
* Feeling connected to attributes of boyhood that are unrelated to binary gender.
* Experiencing a version of boyhood in a gender system that is not the Western binary-gender system.
* Feeling [[Gender Euphoria|gender euphoria]] from being called a boy despite being completely outside the gender binary.

== Etymology ==
Nymboy is a combination of the words "homonym" and "boy", made by taking the "nym" from "homonym" and putting it in front of "boy".<ref name=":1" />
== History ==
Nymboy was coined by Tumblr user Xenoleaf on August 31st, 2020.<ref
Nymboy is also an attempt to call attention to the fact that “boy” itself is an umbrella term and can have a lot of different meanings, definitions, and connotations outside of its most common use in the boy/girl male/female gender binary system.
On October 9th, 2020, Xenoleaf summarized and shortened the definition of Nymboy, as in xyr own words "my original definition for nymboy was also very long".<ref name=":1" />
== Flags ==
The original nymboy flag was made by Tumblr user Xenoleaf and posted along with the term's coining on August 31st, 2020.<ref name=":0" /> Xenoleaf later updated the original flag on October 9th, 2020 and posted it alongside a new, simpler striped flag.<ref name=":1" />
An even more simplified Nymboy flag was made by deactivated Tumblr user waxingoccult on or before Apr 21, 2021. It is based off of the colors used in the original, but puts them into a new 5-stripe format.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20240225040231/https://lgbtqiarchive.tumblr.com/post/649067212814041088</ref>
