Examples of juxera Pikbee This person's profile says "demi-amphiromantic nycto-pansexual juxera demigirl" and I only know what two of those words vaguely mean help. @gpike_, December 2015 First of all, juxera is 100% a "real gender". Although its meaning is very similar to demigirl - you may want to consider the demigirl label for yourself. The difference is that the "demi" genders imply that they are only partly a girl/boy, whereas juxera was coined to show that it's a whole gender. / Another label you might want to look into is bigender - female and agender in your case, from the sound of it.
