Well first of all, technically, whenever you say "or" in between mentioning two things (this or that) you should put "either" in front of the first thing (either this or that). Not that anyone cares, but it's still a rule.

"Either" and "or" are...positive statements I guess. You're saying that one of the things you're listing is...the thing (I'm either a girl or a boy). Whereas if you're saying that none of the two things you're listing are...the thing then you use "neither" and "nor" (someone who is asexual is neither a girl nor a boy). And you should never mix any of those with each other (never use "or" after "neither" or "nor" after "either".

Make sense?
