Pleonotic
| Prefix: | Pleo- |

Pleonotic describes an individual or the gender experience of an individual who identifies with a certain gender term but does not use/does not identify with other synonymous terms for that identity.
Examples include: someone who identifies as a boy but not as a man, or someone who identifies as a gal but not as a girl. Pleonotic may, but does not necessarily, refer to a gendernot, genderique or nongender identity, such as: nonboy man, nonmale guy, nongirl gal; nonenby (one identifies as non-binary, not enby).
History
Pleonotic was coined by Tumblr user imoga-pride, 16th March 2019.[1]
