Demiboy Pride Day
When: Annually, June 22.
Every year, June 22 is Demiboy Pride Day. A day to create awareness for demiboys, demoguys, demimen and demimales.
Demiboy
If a person is partly boy/man but does not wish to be referred to entirely as boy/man or does not identify as such, the person is a demiboy. Other synonyms are demiguy, demiman, demimale. These synonyms are less stigmatising than the term boy or boy.
Demiboy is a subcategory of demigender. This category belongs within the non-binary spectrum.
Acceptance and understanding
The day is there for the demiboy so that one can proudly share one’s identity with the rest of the world. A world where acceptance and understanding in this regard sometimes lags far behind. There’s much to change there. A day like today can change that.
Gender identity is more than the classic pattern of women and men. There is much more than “just” that. You can read more about that in the article The flags of the rainbow – Part 2. In it, you can read what identity flags exist. Those flags are linked to different gender identities.
