Do Demons Have A Gender?

When we hear the word “demon,” we all think of evil, darkness, the devil, Hell and others just to name a few. We know what the definition of a demon is, we know what it personifies, and we know they can be classified as supernatural and paranormal beings. One thing that never gets questioned or brought up is the gender of a demon. A demon can enter the body of a male or female, but what about the demon itself? Is it a certain gender? Does it have both genders? Does it prefer one over the other? Or do demons simply take on and possess whatever body they want based on the convenience and circumstances? I’ll break this down and give my thoughts and opinions on the matter, but one thing should go without saying: it doesn’t matter what gender a demon is; it’s evil, and it’s out to cause harm to humans.

What gender are demons? While they can inhabit either gender, I think a demon itself could be one of two options. They could actually be a male or female demon; however, when it comes to inhabiting a body, I highly doubt demons care which they possess, and I’m sure they don’t stereotype. You think a male demon is going to enter the body of a human male simply because that’s how it has to be? Doubtful. The other option is that a demon may have no gender at all, and it’s simply an entity that, when it surfaces on Earth, is looking for a vessel, aka a body to control, and it doesn’t care which gender it takes on. Both these two options seem possible, and whether one seems more likely than the other is up for debate, but I see it as it could be one or the other.

One thing is for certain: it truly doesn’t matter which gender a demon is because they are all after one thing: to inflict harm, kill, or even possess a human being. We know how they come to be and where they generally come from, or so we are led to believe. This notion, however, has nothing to do with gender, so why do I bring it up? For the same reason why it doesn’t matter where they come from, whether it’s Hell, another dimension, a book, a spell, it doesn’t matter, they are demons, and we know their intent. Gender, for the third time, is no different; it doesn’t make a bit of difference which gender they are, but I raise the questions simply out of curiosity. Let’s say demons do have genders, are one type more inferior than the other? Irrelevant because? Well, you get the idea, but just remember that if you’re a sexist male and you encounter a female demon and think it’s not that scary, think again! Do demons have a gender? I’m not sure, but I do wonder and ponder the thought.
