Midbinary

Midbinary, also known as endobinary, is a term for any non-binary gender or experience that references or is associated with one or both binary genders. It includes any genders that involve masculinity, femininity, or a combination of masculinity and femininity. It also includes genders that are similar to or related to male or female (but aren't completely male or female), as well as genders that are in between male and female.

Alternate Names

 * Endobinary

Definitions

 * Being nonbinary isn’t *just* like being a spork instead of a spoon or fork. That’s just “in the middle” of the binary of forks and spoons. Hence, midbinary. For things that could be on a sliding scale of male to female. Anything between male and female, the gender binary, is midbinary. - Jem, 2016
 * Nonbinary identities/experiences associated to gender binary; genders (un)related incompletely to the binarity (as opposed to abinary, exterbinary or offbinary); sitting on top of the binary but not necessarily in it; existing within the context of the gender binary but are not strictly one or the other. - Mod Ap, beyond-mogai-pride-flags, 2019

Flags
The midbinary flag was made by beyond-mogai-pride-flags on Tumblr on December 8th, 2019. The pink and blue come from the gender binary flag, the white represents multigender people (like the nonbinary flag) and the purple-ish colors represent binary-adjacent identities.
