Definiton
Disclaimer: People can experience identities in different ways. As such, people can identify with a label without exactly matching the definition because identities are fluid.
Deminonbinary (also spelled deminon-binary and often shortened to demienby) is a term used by people who experience partial connection to being nonbinary. Some deminonbinary people also identify as another gender, which can be any gender or combination of genders, including a lack of gender or being agender. Deminonbinary only refers to a person's gender, so deminonbinary people can be any sexuality or romantic orientation. Deminonbinary people can use any pronouns they like or no pronouns, since pronouns don't equate gender. Deminonbinary people can present in any way they like; they do not have to present in an androgynous way to be deminonbinary.
Being deminonbinary does not necessarily mean that someone half identifies as nonbinary. Some deminonbinary people feel a strong connection with being nonbinary, while others only feel a vague association. A deminonbinary person may or may not identify as transgender for various reasons.
