Demiboy Quiz: Partly Blue, Wholly You?

Last Updated 22.01.26

○ DISCLAIMER

This quiz is for entertainment only and cannot determine your sexuality or gender identity. It is not a diagnostic tool and shouldn't guide major life decisions. For genuine support with identity questions, please consult qualified LGBTQ+-friendly professionals. Your self-discovery journey is uniquely yours.

A demiboy is someone who partially identifies with the masculine gender but not completely. The term comes from Latin “demi” (half) and emerged in online communities exploring the gender spectrum. Imagine gender as a color palette – if traditional masculinity is saturated blue, a demiboy might feel like light blue mixed with other shades or transparency. This isn’t “insufficient masculinity” but a fundamentally different way of experiencing gender. Demiboy identity isn’t connected to biological sex or sexual orientation, and unlike genderfluid people, demiboys feel a stable partial connection to masculinity. This demiboy quiz explores whether this identity resonates with your experience.

Key characteristics include partial identification with masculinity (feeling perhaps 60% masculine and 40% something else), discomfort when perceived exclusively as male (like being called a name that’s close but not quite right), and connection to the non-binary spectrum. Some demiboys prefer alternating or gender-neutral pronouns and may experience fluctuations in their connection to masculinity. The quiz helps structure reflections about identity, but remember – only you can determine your gender. If “demiboy” helps you understand and express yourself, it’s fulfilling its purpose.
