Femix: Describing a Non-Female individual that finds a feminine gender attribution befitting and considers it an essential facet of their gender identity.

Based upon the term Apathfemix.

Etymology

Femix is derived from Apathfemix, created by removing the prefix Apath-, indicating apathy. The root, Femix, has a unknown etymological origin. Apathfemix was coined by user Cybertroniancoining in December 2023. The term Femix, coined by Gent of Gender-Jargon a few days after, is directly based upon user Cybertroniancoining’s term as a related concept.

Elaboration

Femix is a complex and potentially contradictory identity in which one’s gender is not “Female”, but has feminine traits attributed to them nonetheless, and this attribution is not only considered to be fitting by the individual, but an integral part of their overall gender experience.

More simply, an Femix individual:

  1. Has a gender identity that they consider to be Non-Female.
  2. Has traits of femininity attributed to them by other individuals.
  3. Considers having traits of femininity attributed to their person to be agreeable and in a few, multiple or all manners at least part of the time.
  4. Considers this attribution to be an intrinsic part of their experience of their gender as a whole.

Femix differs from Apathfemix in that a Femix individual is definitively not apathetic towards feminine traits being attributed to them, nor are they inherently beyond gender as a concept. In place of indifference, a Femix individual enjoys, appreciates, entertains, welcomes or otherwise freely accepts feminine traits being attributed to their person. Furthermore, this attribution is a fundamental aspect of their gender experience.

Flag

The Femix flag is based upon the Apathfemix flag created by the coiner of the term. The Apathfemix flag utilizes the color palette from the Inersgender flag created by user Stellette in 2014 alongside a tri-color pink scheme. The Femix flag is color-picked from the tri-color b pink scheme, shown across three vertical bars, with the darkest pink at the left progressing to the lightest pink to the right. In the middle, a horizontal, light olive green stripe was added to represent the quality of being a Femix being a Non-Female. The Femix flag was created by Gent of Gender-Jargon in 2023.

Note: Gender attribution is not necessarily based upon one’s expression, but is more frequently an assumption made about an individual’s gender identity without their input. Being an assumption, it is not always correct, good, wanted or warranted. Affirming attributions are congruent with one’s perception of themselves. Incorrect and undesired attributions are incongruent with this perception and are often distressing. Femix should not be used to describe anyone who does not like femininity being attributed to them, as it would be misdenoting on multiple levels.
