Proxvir is a gender relative to male, but is something separate and entirely on its own. It is not outside the gender spectrum. [1] For some, it can be strongly connected to or aligned with masculinity without being man aligned; that is, mingender but sometimes not miaspec.
The word proxvir is used as an adjective, in the same way male and female are used, so one would say "I am proxvir" not "I am a proxvir."
The feminine equivalent to proxvir is juxera.
History
The terms proxvir and juxera were coined by Tumblr user Wulfgendur in July, 2014[2]. The juxera and proxvir flags were created around the same time.
Flag
The pink and blue on the ends of the pentagon represent the “girl” and “boy” genders, while the blueish gray, navy, and purple represent the gender spectrum. The green triangle represent where the gender falls on the spectrum, which is “near boy” in the case of the proxvir flag[3].
The origin/meaning of the alternative flag is unknown. The edit of the alternative proxvir flag is intended to be easier on the eyes.
Etymology
Prox- comes from “proximus”, a Latin adjective meaning 'near', -vir is from a masculine Latin noun.
