Variboy (vair-e-boi), or varimasculine, a subset of varigender, is a form of alternating gender identity that is more focused on manhood. Variboys could have any form of fluid gender, but:
- The majority of the time they experience being male.
- They feel most comfortable when their gender is male or are referred to with masculine expressions (eg. he/him pronouns).
- They would prefer to only specify that their gender encompasses masculinity.
- They are only certain of one particular gender they experience (in this case male).
This identity is not exclusive to AMABs or butch/masculine individuals. Anyone who fits the definition may identify as variboy.
Flag
The variboy flag has seven stripes: two yellow stripes, two blue stripes, two purple stripes, and a white stripe. White represents the absence of specification or other genders one might experience. Purple represents genders that are a combination of masculinity or femininity. Blue represents masculinity. And yellow represents all genders outside the binary.
The largest (white) stripe is highlighted the most to show that individuals who identify as variboy don't have to, and likely won't, specify the rest of their gender fluidity. The second largest (blue) highlights that masculinity is felt on a higher level. The two smallest (yellow and purple) represent other genders in general.
