Neoboy

Neoboy is a gender with a connection to masculinity, but in a way that's largely different from how men are connected to masculinity. Neoboy is a non-binary identity that is mostly separate from being a man, though it can be described as a gender that is masculine-aligned, neutral-aligned, mingender, and/or miaspec.

Individuals who identify with neoboy may identify with it because:


 * They feel like a "new" kind or type of man.
 * They feel like they're a man and connected to masculinity (partially or entirely) but in a "different" way.
 * They feel like a man outside of the gender binary.

Individuals who identify with neoboy will also generally feel neutral-aligned in some way or in some extent as well as being masculine-aligned but this isn't always the case.

The feminine equivalent is neogirl.

Pronunciation
/NEE-oh-boi/

Etymology

Definitions

 * "it's kinda complex to describe my feelings about it, but essentially, you identify as a man/masc either almost entirely or mostly, but you also feel that you identify as something else outside of the gender binary (or within it as androgynous) which is one way to describe it. alternatively, you might feel that you're a woman/man that exists as such but outside the gender binary (but not GNC/Gender Non-Conforming or some other alternative like demigirl/boy or genderqueer, though you could probably also use that last label)" - erikaispanlol, 2020
