I think I'm a trans boy but I don't really identify with masculinity or boyhood particularly? I feel like almost the opposite of Proxvir? Like instead of being a masculine person close to being a boy but being on a different plane of masculinity, I feel like a boy who's gender isn't connected masculinity at all? Like a genderless boy. I think I only present masculinely because of dysphoria. If I was dmab I'd probably be more fluid with my gender presentation... Anyway, is there a word for this?
I’m not sure if I understand what you mean, because even if you can be a boy and not be masculine at all, I’m not sure if I get being a boy but not identifying with boyhood. But hey, let’s see what we’ve got.
Agender boy: “Agender individuals find that they have no gender identity, however, an agender girl/boy has some connection to girlhood/femininity or boyhood/masculinity. Other people might feel comfortable with feminine/masculine pronouns and a feminine/masculine presentation, and therefore call themselves a girl/boy because of that association and because calling themselves a girl/boy helps express that association, but they're still agender.”
Nonbinary Boy: “Nonbinary means not a binary gender. a Nonbinary person might call themselves a boy because they might feel associated with that gender, but be, for instance, a demiboy, which is a non binary gender. Other people might feel comfortable with masculine pronouns and a masculine presentation, and therefore call themselves a boy because of that association and because calling themselves a boy helps express that association, but they may still have a nonbinary identity like agender. Both these people might therefore be a non binary boy. These are just examples, but there are reasons someone might call themselves a non binary boy/girl.“
Xoy: ‘Someone who identifies in some way as a nonbinary boy or nonbinary boy-adjacent. Someone who identifies with some part of man/boyhood but who wants a more nonbinary and neutral sounding word because they aren’t entirely boys or don't want to be associated with the typical ideas brought up by the word “boy”.’
Transneutral: A term used to describe transgender people who were assigned male or female at birth, but identify with neutral gendered feelings to a greater extent than with femininity or masculinity. They usually are nonbinary but could be trans men or trans women.
Schrodigender/Schrodingender: "A gender which you can both feel and not feel."Or: "A single gender that exists as if it were many genders at once."
Altegender: “Derived from shortening the phrase “alternate existence.” It is a xenogender that feels as though it’s in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.“ It can be used as altexoy, alteboy, alteproxvir, etc.
Paragender: “A gender identity that is close to, but not exactly, a gender. For instance, someone who is a paraboy may feel that their gender is near to, but not quite male/masculine.”
Offgender: “A gender that closely represents/is most closely represented by another gender, but is not that gender. Can be likened to what the color off-white is to white for descriptive purposes. Similar in definition to paragender."
Contragender: “Someone who deeply defies and identifies opposite or against everything or most things that they associate with their assigned gender.Can be combined with relevant genders. For use by trans people only.“
Antigender or Ungender: “A gender identity that can only be understood as the opposite of another gender – for example, an antiboy would be the opposite of male.”Suggestion: You could be the opposite of nonpuer/nonvir, which is a gender defined by being masculine but not male at all. Keep in mind “antimasculine” doesn’t necessarily is a feminine gender, and “antigirl” is not necessarily a boy-like gender.
Also, I feel like I should point out that, while our definitions include masculinity for some reason (they were probably copied from somewhere else), the original definition of proxvir is not necessarily related to masculinity:
Proxvir– a gender relative to male, but is something separate and entirely on it’s own. it is not outside the gender spectrum. [prox from “proximus”, latin adjective for near, “vir” from masculine latin noun] (source)
