'''Genderfae''', also known as '''genderdoe'''<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CDEH3DtBr5H/?igshid=1s8ifwcrrhtqu</ref> or '''genderthil''', is a form of [[Genderfluid|genderfluidity]] that never encompasses [[Man|male]] or [[masculine]] genders. Genderfae individuals can be fluid between any range of [[feminine]] genders, [[Abinary|unaligned]] or [[neutral]] genders (such as [[aporagender]]), or [[Agender|genderlessness]], but they never experience masculine genders. Genderfae is sometimes considered a non-masculine subset of [[fluidflux]].
The masculine counterpart to genderfae is [[genderfaun]]. Variants of genderfae include [[genderfaer]], in which one can experience masculine genders but is never a binary man, and [[Genderselkie|genderselkie,]] where the nonbinary genders experienced are often [[xenic]].
Genderfae is not to be confused with [[faegender]], which is a gender that changes with the seasons.

== History ==
The term was supposedly coined anonymously in 2014, on the now defunct blog "mogai-archive". The genderfae flag was designed by the user Superpopcorn101 on Deviantart on January 9, 2017<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Genderfae-656301909</ref>. The colors don't have individual meanings, but the range purposefully doesn't include blue to indicate never including masculine genders. A pastel color scheme was used to give the flag a more "fae" feeling.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Genderfae-656301909</ref> Another flag was created by user strbwryfemme. @strwbryfemme's flags should be used with caution as fawn has a history of exclusionism against m-spec lesbians. <ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210804163825/https://strwbryfemme.carrd.co/ An exclusionist flag maker - stwbryfemme's carrd]</ref><ref>[https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Bi-Lesbian?diff=prev&oldid=68913 strwbryfemme vandalizing the bi-lesbian page]</ref>

Exclusionists falsely claim that using the word is "fae" is cultural appropriation, which has prompted some to coin alternative terms like genderdoe and genderthil to avoid using it
