A gender neutral term for a boyfriend, girlfriend, or an enbyfriend. It’s more commonly used for non-binary/genderqueer
people, but it can be used for binary
people, or to refer to partners of different
gender identities.
It can also be used if your partner is genderfluid, demiboy, demigirl, bigender, pangender, omnigender, etc, and you don’t know what to call them at present.
“Are you two genderfriends?” The man asked the pair, as they were holding hands.

people of different genders.)
“Can you hand this to my genderfriend, Alex? They’
re over there, in the green shirt.”
(Here this would be referring to an individual, who is likely
non-binary or genderqueer.)
“I honestly think you have terrible taste in significant others. I’ve
never liked ANY of your genderfriends.”
(Here this would be referring to someone’
s multiple past partners of different genders that the speaker is expressing their dislike for.)
