What is the difference between demiboy and bigender. I don't know if I'm 100% boy and 100 girl or something's like 100 boy 25 girl. I knwo that doesn't add up
I'm not the most knowledgable on this, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
What should be the most important is how you yourself feel, and then labels should come with that, and not the other way around: you shouldn't "choose" to identify as demiboy, and then try to change how you act and behave to try and match what's on the label.
The fun in labels and the such is that you can interpret them as you want (for yourself)! You can say you identify as demiboy and mean with that 100 boy, 50 girl or 100 boy, 23 girl or even 100 boy, 75 girl and none of those are more correct or a better fit to the demiboy label: it all comes down to what you decide "demiboy" means to you (also this applies to any other gender you might identify as, I'm just picking demiboy as an example as it's a bit more specific).
Also, you can always change your mind after choosing a label, it isn't set in stone so another option you have is to just pick one and roll with it, find out how it feels and how YOU feel about it, and if you don't like it then pick something else and try that!
I hope this makes some sense and is maybe helpful. Good luck on your discovery journey !
I think I'm a demiboy. I could just be nb I don't know. My gender is slightly more guy bit there is a good amount of girl too. I mostly present as masc but I am becoming more fem and would like to present as fem. I have no clue what me gender is lol maybe im a demiboy (likely) bigender i have no clue lol.Thank you for the encouragement!
As far as I am aware, they are close to the same thing. The demi people I have known often do align with one of the genders more. Demigirl friend I have identifies more fem but not all the way
Arguably similar to the difference between bisexual and pansexual - largely overlapping labels for which the choice really has to do with your own personal preference. So long as you have an idea of the realm in which you live (the feeling, not the label), choosing a label should just be whichever you vibe more with or feel describes you better, OR simply just adopt all the labels.
