They/Them Gay Flag! I’m accepting all critiques on this since I’m not a they/them gay! (Icons are free to use with credit/links to the original source!)
I have never actually seen a TERF use the term bi lesbian before, and the idea that they even would is so counterintuitive to me. I mean, they’re all about “preserving lesbianism” — they even have a term to distinguish themselves from bi women who exclusively date other women (febfems) — so why would they want to “dilute” the meaning by obscuring the lines between different sapphic identities? Calling cis lesbians who date trans women bi lesbians is just…not something they ever do, and I say this as someone essentially hyper-aware of the kind of transmisogyny they perpetrate (because it affects me firsthand, lol).
On the other hand, I’ve now seen dozens of examples of mspec lesbians from throughout history, dozens of posts explaining what the termactually means, and dozens of essays and accounts explaining the shared histories between wlw of various self-applied identities. It’s so obvious that these terms have never had any fixed definitions throughout history and that their application is largely personal and subjective, yet these monosexists continue to tokenize trans women and leverage our oppression against people they personally don’t like, many of whom are transfeminine themselves. It’s so sad to me that some transfems have actually fallen for thisBS.
Labelmasc: When your gender is not male, male aligned, and/or masculine, but you’re okay with and use man aligned, male gendered, and masculine labels.
The bottom blue/purple stripes come from the masc flag, and represent masculinity, maleness, and manhood. The center white stripe represents neutrality, comfort, and gnc (gender non conforming) feelings. The top set of green stripes represent opposing gendered feelings compared to your labels, and non binary genders.

If someone tells me they’re queer I believe them. If someone tells me they’re straight I believe them. This isn’t that hard
What so like a cis het allo person can just call themselves queer now?
What problem, exactly, are you so concerned about? I don’t know if you’ve noticed but queerness is still very much marginalized, it’s not as “trendy” as people try to act, and straight people aren’t tripping over themselves to call themselves queer. And if you’re worried about being “tricked” by “infiltrators”, like, you know those people can just say that they’re gay? Like they can lie? They’re not going to try and “sabotage” queer spaces by saying “hey I don’t have any marginalized orientations or identities but I’m still totally queer”, they’d just say “hey I’m super gay, love people of the same gender”
What, concretely, are you worried about happening? What’s the worst thing that could happen due to inclusivity? Because the worst things that can happen due to gatekeeping are very well-known, and I’m much more scared of that
It’s less that it’s trendy and more like, I like having my queer-only spaces. Also queer is a bad word. All our words are bad words. They aren’t oppressed, and for a cishetallo to use a slur as their identity feels a little demeaning to me. Like I dont hate them of course but the A was never for Ally . It’s not queer to be normal
Interacting with them is cool and having them at pride I’m not opposed to but as a person who’s queer it does feel like they’re kinda dressing it up
Im gonna be honest Ive never seen people like that but like, I’m allowed to not like it
I’m not going to distrust and exclude people because of a problem you made up. If someone tells me they’re queer, I believe them
Society at its edges are all queer but *checks notes* they are too puritanical or afraid go through struggles sociopolitically self-determined queeries experience, so they keep dharmatic
I couldn’t resist making more pride birds today, especially after I discovered that the scientific name of the red-tailed comet is Sappho sparganurus. Sappho, you guys!! This bird is named after her!!
Happy pride month everyone!!! Have a bronzewing pigeon. 🙂 (Redbubble)
Finally! The Vosmaeri eclectus for the polyamory flag.
While not an orientation or gender identity, the polyam flag is still very popular at pride events.
I thought the eclectus was perfect for this flag because unlike other parrots, they’re nonmonogamous. What a fun coincidence that they happen to match the flag so well and to be a personal favorite of mine.
Genderfluid violet-backed starling! I had a lot of fun drawing this one; I’m getting less afraid to draw iridescence on birds.

God should release new birds that look like this as an apology for making this fucking pandemic.
Good news: these are all real birds that already exist!
Tumblr won’t let me add any more photos but please!!! look them up. The real birds are more beautiful than my pictures.
Adding the MLM bird again because he got missed by the reblog train last time. (Here’s the post where I added him.) And, at long last, the bird for the intersex flag!
Brotherage (brotheragem portuguesedly): the platonic version of seks, sometimes extending outside of sectual contexts and standing for brotherly feelings in relationships; the gayn’t form of fagness.
A term cognate of bromance but neolatinized, largely used by gay outsiders in Brazil and even by queer-friendly wokesters as well. So it’s for anyone, literally. Sisteragem is also used for womance.
Paratrois: standing outside or as a midpoint in between supratrois and infratrois; an intersection of subtrois and obtrois; a paranormalized leptivity; the reverse of normotrois and indirectly not tied to hypertrois/hipertrois or hypotrois/hipotrois; merging extrois/extratrois/extertrois and introis/intratrois together but not as intertrois/intretrois.
Usually an oblique form of supraverse and own universe, just as an wormhole that leads to other superverses (neoverses, antiverses, and paraverses) but staying as its own form that is not habited in multiverse. If in geometry there’s a plane, this is paralyzed or parallel of its plane and (an)other(s).
Yes! Absolutely! I’m open to doing a lot more birds. And I like the requests! (As someone who doesn’t pay a whole lot of attention to The Discourse, I have learned a lot of new terms through pride bird requests.) But there is kind of a process to adding a new bird that can take a while:
1. Is there a flag that’s commonly used and recognizable?
I’ve gotten a bunch of requests for microlabel birds, and often times I can’t find a flag that community has created. I think this is an a-spec flag I’ve seen before? I’m not sure. It’s a great flag, and I love branching out from the “Lots Of Horizontal Bars” look.
ALT
But it’s often difficult to figure out if there’s a consensus on which flag people prefer. A lot of these flags are very new!! And that’s not a bad thing. I love that so many of us want to follow in Gilbert Baker’s footsteps and create flags for our community. But, uh … here are the image search results for “a-spec flag:”
ALT
It can be kind of hard to know where to start sometimes. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
2. Can I find a bird with the same colors of that flag?
Can I be brutally honest for a second? I think a lot of our flags have too many colors. And a lot of those colors are highly specific down to the hex code. I know I’m a boring person with bad opinions regarding this but I can’t help but be influenced by more traditional vexillology and heraldic convention: I think three colors is enough for most flags and five is too many, and I also think we have enough horizontal bars and we should start considering other geometric shapes.
Nature has made a lot of different birds but there are, unfortunately, a finite number of birds and an nearly-infinite number of possible flag color combinations. And we keep putting purple on all our flags when there just aren’t that many purple birds. What I’m trying to say is: maybe we should start choosing flag color palettes based on existing birds, because that would make this project easier for me. 😛
3. When can I find time to draw this bird?
I work three part time jobs and I have ADHD so my executive function is, maybe, not excellent. I, too, wish it did not take me months to draw new birds.
Please don’t let my rant and vexillogical snobbery deter you from requesting a pride bird. I’m just saying, I know it’s taken me a long time to make these, but it’s not cause I don’t enjoy making them. I’ve got a list of other birds I do want to get to (intersex, demiboy, demigirl) and I’m always adding to it.
Edit: Wow, I seriously expected to get maybe a couple of likes on this stuff that floats around in my head on a daily basis. Especially if I’m having trouble sleeping. Not several hundred. 😅
Edit edit: At first I was confused at how some people are reacting to this with existential dread, and then I was like “wait, haven’t you lived so long with an anxiety disorder that existential dread has become an old nemesis that you greet every morning at this point?” So I’ve sorta become used to it. Sorry, guys. 😅

I have done flags for M-spec Straights because they aren’t mentioned often!
M-spec Straight person is:
1. Heterosexual M-spec-romantic person
2. M-spec-sexual heteroromantic person
3. Person who’s attracted to the opposite gender+other genders(for example, woman who loves men and nonbinary people only but feels that heterosexual or bisexual/polysexual labels doesn’t describe her attraction enough so she might use bi straight/ply straight)
4. M-spec person with leaning to gender which leaning they consider to be straight in nature
In order: Bi Straight, Pan Straight, Ply Straight and Omni Straight
[Image: three stripes darkly colored with purple, black and red]
Deviance or deviancy: one who deviates, specially from norms of social behavior; characterized by deviation from an usual expectation or a societal standard; departing from patterns or accepted standards.
Deviant is used as a slur in many languages, sometimes back-forming other words. This isn’t intended to represent unethical actions, since deviate sexuality may be juridically conceptualized in some places of the world. Not to associate this with words perverted, violator, divertor, detoured, degenerated or devious.
Etymology comes from dēviā (out of the road), but in Portuguese viado alternatively derives veado, transviado (transversed)or desviado/desviante, meaning deer which derivevēnor (to hunt, from weyh- or wenh₁-), another back-formation for Venus (venia, indulgence, to strive/wish, love).

Twink Bi: a m-spec folk adopting a gay slang and bi- as an identity, such as pluralian mlm. This term does not specify gender expression (fem/masc) or non-conformity at all, a bisexual twink could be either mage, knight or druid.
Erosflux or erosfluid is a sexual modifier used to describe someone who fluctuates and/or is fluid between being asexual/ace-spec, allosexual, and hypersexual. This term is similar to aceflux, acespike, and ace-jump however it is more specific as it includes hypersexuality as well.
One with this identity may also be fluid or fluctuate in what genders they are attracted to, and thus also identify as abrosexual, however this is not always the case.
One who is erosflux does not have to fluctuate to being entirely ace; instead, they may just fluctuate to being ace-spec. This term can also be used as a modifier, such as erosvincian, eroslesbian, erosbisexual, etc if one wishes to also incorperate the genders they find attraction towards.
Some examples of why some may find this term useful include, but are not limited to…
Those who have sexual trauma that effects the strength of their sexual attraction.
Those within a median system who feel as though their combined sexual desires are best described in this manner.
Those who have sexual disorders or disabilities that cause their sex drive to spike into higher or lower manners.
An individual who felt as though aceflux, abro, and similar terms did not fit their experiences correctly as they did not explicitely include hypersexuality.
The term was first suggested by wiki user Hayden000 (specifically Shadow from their system) on May 26th of 2021. Following this suggestion, wiki user Cryptocrew (specifially Catra from their system) agreed that this would be a useful term for both them and her, and decided to officially coin it.
Lavender relationship (formerly lavender marriage): a duaric mixed relationship (between a man and a woman), undertaken as a relationship of convenience to
conceal the socially stigmatized orientation of one or both partners; a duaric couple in which one or both members have marginalized orientation(s)/are attractionally or affectionally variant/non-conforming.
The relation is often amorous (romantic/queerplatonic) or gamous (marital). -Ap
MtF: transitioning from male to female or masculine to feminine, a transfeminine folk; MtN: transitioning from male to neutrois or non-binary, a transneutral AMAB/DMAB/CAMAB/MAAB.
Love it when pansexists/pro-radfem-aligned folx invalidate ply ppl with their “she’s not ply she’s a lesbian”. So y’all agree that lesbians are allowed to be attracted to nonbinary men and lesbians can be nonbinary man as well?
They clearly don’t see non binary people as their gender, but rather as an extension of women (even nonbinary men). For them someone who’s attracted to women and other genders, but not men aren’t ply because they don’t even think that even counts as being attracted to more than one gender
As someone who’s multigender an has several man-related genders in my gender list (or whatever you want to call it), i’ve been told I was included in lesbian attraction because “I wasn’t an actual man” and that non binary/genderqueer men “still count as nonmen”
Also the irony/hypocrisy

Gendershift: A gender that has shifted or changed over time, whether that change be past present future, and whether it be a big or subtle change. People of this identities past gender identities were not incorrect, they were very much their actual gender at the time, but their gender has changed since then. This flag and label represents anyone who’s gender identity has undergone any sort of change.
The yellow tones at the bottom represent change, and the ability of gender to shift throughout ones lifetime. The pink stripes in the middle represent acceptance, and community founded around gender identity. The white stripe in the center red presents comfort in gender. The green stripes at the top in order from darkest to lightest represent feminine aligned genders, masculine aligned genders, and gender identities that fit in neither category.
Anomie: lack of the usual social or ethical standards in an individual or group. In sociology, anomie is a societal condition defined by an uprooting or breakdown of any moral values, standards, or guidance for individuals to follow.

Autipoly is an orientation on the multisexual spectrum which can only be understood in the context of being on the autism spectrum, when one’s autism greatly affects one’s polysexuality. Autipoly is not autism as a sexual orientation, but rather an m-spec identity that is so heavily influenced by autism that one’s autism and one’s polysexuality cannot be unlinked. Not all autistic polysexual people identify as autipoly, only those whose polysexuality is influenced by them being autistic. Autipoly is an exclusive identity only to be used by people on the autism spectrum.

Hey, I reblogged this yesterday and at the time Ithought the work was really important to just let be on it’s own as a piece of art… But since then some of the notes I saw were bleak and I just want to say that I’m not an expert by any means, I’m just a person whose watched a youtube video or two but as a trans person you don’t have no options when you die.
What you need is something called an advanced directive – a will is not going to cut it because that won’t some into play until after you’re buried. The youtuber and mortician Caitlin Doughty has a video about it, specifically as it relates to trans people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVgumSUZQRI
You need to make sure the right people look after you after death.
Hey I just want to say that if you’re a trans person in PA, USA and you have no one in your life who is trans supportive to carry out your advanced directive, contact me. I can’t help you with funds but I can help make sure you get buried as your correct gender if you die unexpectedly.
Overmasc: the masc equivalent of overfem; transcending and overflowing masculinity without approaching femininity.
Maveriquinity: characterized by autonomy and inner conviction regarding a sense of self that is entirely independent of male, female or anything which derives from the two while still being neither without gender nor of a neutral gender.
Cismasculinity: pertaining to a cisgendered masculinity; ascribing cis-gender masculinity of an individual as a greater extent than femininity; associating or describing yourself as cismasc folk, socializing masculinity to your cisness (cisgenderness).
Woman: experiencing womanhood; self-interpreting yourself as a woman, attributing intrapersonal womanliness to your gender personhood; interpersonally or extrapersonally self-identifying sociopolitically as a woman.
In this case, this person is a trans woman, she has gender masculinity (like mingender, manugender, m-gender), it does not mean necessarily she has a masculine gender expression/presentation/appearance.

Autigay is an orientation which can only be understood in the context of being on the autism spectrum, when one’s autism greatly affects one’s homosexuality.

Not all autistic homosexual people identify as autigay, only those whose homosexuality is influenced by them being autistic. Autigay is an exclusive identity only to be used by people on the autism spectrum.

bestie thats just a cis flag 😮 burn it
FtMtF and MtFtM people are valid :
«Everyone who has had LGBT+ experiences is valid and deserves to be represented» :
I absolutely not agreed with this. What you’re saying, @ohsopointlessskeletonhats, these are exclusionary words.
Some transgenders people have made transitions that they regrets because of transmedicalists that propagate the idea that making a transition and/or being dysphoric is an “important criterion” to be a “true transgender”. But this is false.
And in the event that some people have “mistaken” it does not prevent the fact that they surely had to make a coming-out and many other things. They have had experiences, and his experiences and who they are have the right to be part of the community. Finally, we must also not forget that, in truth, many people are not mistaken but upset because of pressure from their entourage and that kind of thing. Which pushes them back to their gender of birth. What is unfortunate for them.
But the fact remains that his people all have one thing in common : they have gained a certain experience which is an experience that the LGBT+ community defends and must defend. Its people have the right to be part of the community. Their flags are not to be burned.
I also don’t try to speak for the people involved as if I had lived his experiences but I support MtFtM people and FtMtF people. You are valid and your experience must be recognized ! ❤️

Maxgender/Maxigender: identifying as the maximum number of genders one could possibly identify as; for those are uncomfortable using the term Pangender, but not to be forced upon those who do identify as Pangender.
Quoisonancy/quoisonance or quoiphoria: a term for when you can’t tell whether you experience gender dysphoria/euphoria or not; the state of feeling that sonance terms don’t apply to them; being unsure what sonancy is, and therefore being unsure if one has experienced it or not; a person who does not identify themselves as having a particular sonant/phoric term; someone whose relationship with phorias/sonancies is complicated/confusing; an alternative to “questioning”, in order to communicate exhaustion or frustration with searching for a better sonance term for oneself; not knowing where one fits on the sonances spectrum.
There are probably innumerable/infinite ways of defining it, based on quoigender, quoi- orientations and quoigenic. Quoiphoric was coined by anon sent to @plurgai. Although anon not specified if this applies to sex/gender sonances or any type of -phoria, I remain it without mentioning in the definition, it can represent both and additionally including paraphoria, wistphoria etc. -Ap
Gayhet (Heterogay/Hetrogay): experiencing both gay* and het* attraction(s) towards specific gender(s) or person(s); being gay and het for certain gender(s), simultaneously and/or asynchronously.
Heteren-/Hetren-: feeling attracted to non-binary people and (an)other dissimilar/different or opposite gender(s); describing enboric heter(o)-/het(r(o))- (hetrenboric).
Can be used as heterenamoric, hetrenaric, heterenromantic, heterenplatonic, heterensensual, heterensexual and so on.
See also: differo-, contraic, enanteic, hetra-/hetera-, penulti-, duaric, ultric, trixen-, toren-, poly-. ~ ap
don’t let anyone on this website call you cringe they literally have a tumblr account
What I love about this site is the fact it’s the closest I’ve gotten to pre-2000 internet in years. No one knows anyone’s real name, photos are entirely optional, and we’re pretty sure at least one of our mutuals is 100% lying about everything. There’s a reason it’s one of the only social media sites I keep coming back to. It somehow manages to be just as horrible, enjoyable, and chaotic as 1990s chat rooms used to be.
The internet is a gentrified neighbourhood and we’re a stubborn old lady refusing to sell her run-down home to the developers.
In order to save costs, the 101 Dalmatians production team thought up an inventive way to animate the vehicles seen in the movie. Instead of drawing the vehicle frame by frame the conventional way, a cardboard model was filmed, as effects animators moved it around in front of the camera. Note the black lines that define all edges.
Frames from this live-action footage were xeroxed on to cels before being painted in the ink & paint apartment. The same process was used later on for Edgar’s motorcycle in The Aristocats.
When this flag was originally added, they only gave us 19 swatches, which for me wasn’t enough, and a lot of the recolours I found for it were few and far between in quality and quantity. So I’ve recoloured it and it now has 89 swatches, including the original swatches redone, with labeled thumbnails.The grommet textures can look a little crusty sometimes, especially when the flags are sized up but it’s far too late to fix that now so!

Happy Pride Month! I made some pride knights in Mordhau!
I really enjoy playing Mordhau, and I’ve slowly come to the realization that I might be bi, so I wanted to make some pride themed armor loadouts.
LGBTQ
Somewhat based off the elite knight set from dark souls. This one was the hardest to get right because of all the wonderful colors in the pride flag. They’re wielding a Claymore…. or a Gaymore, if you will.
Lesbian
She’s rockin some beautiful 15th century Italian plate armor. On top of that she’s got the Terf Slayer battle axe, based on the axe in the original lesbian pride flag.
Gay
He’s wearing 14th century brigandine armor. He’s got a longsword and two daggers.
Bisexual
The bisexual wears 16th century landsknecht half armor. What it lacks in protection it makes up for in cost and weight. In his hands is the mighty Zweihander…. the BI-hander… haha cuz bi means… two.
Pansexual
Or the PANSknecht if you will lol :3 But they also happen to wear landsknecht gear like the Bisexual knight, because bi and pi people are both fucking cool and have a lot in common. They carry a zweihander with them given that it is the signature weapon of the landsknecht.
Trans
The trans knight wears a joupon with a 14th century breastplate over it. In her hands is the Dusk moon halberd, a weapon that can serve many purposes.
Non-Binary
Could not decide if I wanted their armor to be black or white so I posted both pics. They wear 16th century greenwhich half armor with some colorful leggings and skirt below. They also have a Messer, for no other reason other than i think it looks cool.
Asexual
The ace knight is armed with a mACE. haha get it? He is also wearing a 14th century knightly coat of plates. I wish Mordhau had a Spade icon for your shield but alas they do not, (it would’ve been cool and funny cuz like, ace of spades).
Aromantic
Last but certainly not least is the Aromantic knight. He wears 16th/15th century Polish Hussar armor, known for its elaborate wings and articulated Cuirass. He also has a bow and AROw haha oh im so funny and original. But also as a back up weapon he wields a falchion.
That’s all the pride knights I’ve made so far. I worked hard on these so let me know what ya’ll think! Happy pride!
These are amazing
Also I’m going to @prideknights because I think they’d like this post a LOT
Plurian or Pluriaffectionate: someone who is polyaffectionate, pluralian &/or polyamory; experiencing plural attraction; being attracted to multiple individuals &/or multiple genders; the ability or capacity to love more than one person &/or gender; being pluri-/multi-/ply/poly- and -amorous/-gamous/-attractional/-attracted/-oriented.
Last color mixes purple and black of polyamory, omni- and bi- flags, yellow is taken from pi/heart symbols of polyamory flag but also stands for pan- people, can be replaced by the signals and pluralian flower.
Can be also called multiaffectionate, pluraffectionate, pluraffectional, pluriaffectional and multiaffectional (pluriactividad/pluriafetividade/multiafectiva in West Iberian, not to be confused with poliafectiva/poliafetividade).
Sometimes polyamory is polysemic, encompassing biamory, panamory, omniamory, polygamy, bigamy, polyfidelity, polyanthropy and other amorous identities, but keep in mind plurian is meant to include all multiamory/pluriamory, pluriattraction/multiattraction and multigamy/plurigamy, and other forms of plural diversities in relationships, orientations and attractions, being the broader definitions of amiable pluralities. ~ ap
I need this but for pans. Panromantic, pansexual, panamorous, panattractional, just pan everything. A massive pan.
In portuguese we call that pandade. That would translate as pantude somehow
One thing that annoys me about detractors of the identity is the occasional claim that it is basically an internet phenomenon that arose within the last five years or so. Actually, women have been claiming both bisexual and lesbian identities for decades. There have constantly been debates about how bi women fit within lesbianism, lesbian identity, and lesbian community since the gay/lesbian movements have been active. This isn’t something that has ever been universally agreed upon, and there never will be universal agreement on it.
Just for reference and historical interest, I’ve compiled a few selections from articles and books, mostly from the 80s and 90s, that are by or about lesbian-identified (or gay-identified) bisexual woman, or that at least mention them. Inclusion doesn’t indicate my approval of the author’s perspective or argument; this is to provide a bit of history on the discourse.
does anybody have the blank flags from this blog? 😳
the full blanks, as recreated by the lovely @arco-pluris !
Forgive me, Internet, for I have… *gestures vaguely*
I think that, for me, it’s a reflex at this point to make genderqueer/nonbinary version of flags if there are only “male” and “female” are present. Is there a term? No. Is there a definition? No, except for maybe “any kind of genderqueer/nonbinary ships fan”. Is there a need? No. Is there a flag? Well, I guess there is now.
The colors are about being a fujin or a himejin. So you just made an unifying flag of both communities
No, I don’t think I did. I did say what I meant by the flag.
Oh I see. A GQ/N-By shipper flag. Nice
What about a unifying flag, though? Shipping queer pairings in general?
“So, now that you know about the ace spectrum and what I personally consider to be in it and what I personally don’t consider to be in it, I can now fully answer the question posed to me by three different beings (two anons and one pony).
So, put into my own words, my sexuality shifts and changes and is thus fluid. Because I am acefluid and not aceflux, however, my sexuality ALWAYS stays on the asexual spectrum. This means that, depending upon the day, I can be Asexual, Grey-Ace/Gray-Asexual, Apothisexual, Aegosexual/Autochorissexual, Cupiosexual, or Aliquasexual. Most of the time I fluctuate between Asexual and Apothisexual, though I have my moments of feeling Aliquasexual or Autochorissexual. I have yet to feel like a Cupiosexual and Demisexual, but they are nonetheless included in the definition of my sexuality due to my sexuality encompassing the entire asexual spectrum.
Hopefully that made sense. I hope I answered the question accurately and in an easy-to-understand manner.
and i decided to make a alternative version of it for those who are more “dark” or “evil” gods, like myself. i call it the anti-godkin flag, but you definitely don’t have to call it that if that’s uncomfortable for you !
i hope somebody can get some use out of this flag !!
so a few months back, @orxngecrxsh coined an awesome gendie, affecticatian! since then, i have been rlly inspired by cat’s gender and, with cats permission, i am now coining a gender system based on affecticatian!
all terms in this system have definitions, names, and flag designs all inspired by affecticatian and the original definition and design by @orxngecrxsh
[Image ID: A flag with five equally sized horizontal stripes. From top to bottom, the stripes are deep purple, lavendar, sky blue, orange, and deep red-brown. There is an animal paw vector in the middle of the flag. End ID]
the affectian system:
a system of adorable, wholesome faunagenders which relate to the affection given to and/or received from various baby animals!
Decrystallisation/Decrystallization: an identifier ascribing someone not involved in identity/identitarian crystallization. An amplex term/amplifier.
Usually, people associated with queer theory tend to crystallize their disidentifications as a way of not identitily flowing/fluctuating, a form of suptilianism/suptilism/suptilicism (specially gender strictism).
Never crystalize baby. That’s how the antivaxxers get you
Outsider: being “neither/nor” when it comes to normative taboos and self-centered communities. Therefore, they are NOT centrally “insider”/embedded within the center of a community, standing outside the presupposed default “norm” of variancy.
Pillow King or Pillow Prince: the non-feminine version of pillow princesses {additionally non-neutral of pillow prinx(e)[ss]}. Can be more specific, since some may feel excluded from the term “princess”.
It’s meant to be used by queer people, such as high butches, sapphics, mlm/vincians (turians/florics, gayans/magnians (gay men), virsians/virsics), transhets, binaryn’t people and pluralians, probably anattractionals/nullarians (a-specs) as well. -Ap
I created a flag for those who have synpaths! The base of the flag is inspired by the otherhearted and fictionhearted flags, because of their similarities. The symbol in the middle is the empathy symbol, to represent the strong feelings people have for their synpath.
I don’t really have any symbolism for the green. I just wanted a color that separates the flag from the otherkin, otherhearted, fictionkin, fictionhearted, copinglink and therian flags.
Oh wow! That’s a great idea, thanks so much for the submission!
Xenofemgender: A girl who uses xenogenders, but always experiences them in a distinctly female way, and who’s gender is always female/girl/woman. People of this gender are always overwhelmingly female on top of the feelings of all of their xenogenders.
The pink stripes at the top symbolise femininity, and the red stripe at the bottom and at the third strip down symbolise non feminine female feelings. The other three stripes symbolise xenogenders, and are from the xenogender flag.
Oh hey! That’s me! I’ll probably actually add this to my hoard, along with my bigender label.
Polelimic/Polefrithic
A gender that is fluid between hypermasculinity & hyperfemininity, and never feels neutral (like that found in neutrois). It can sometimes present as LIN (liminal-in-nature; androgyne-related identities), but primarily is either hyperfeminine or hypermasculine.
(Image description left: a phone wallpaper sized image with a pale blue and lavender gradient background, there are pastel pink and purple flowers in the upper right and lower left corners, white text in the center of the image is a quote from Laverne Cox which reads “You are here for a divine purpose no matter what anybody says about you. You are divine. You have a legacy of history.”)
(Image description right: a phone wallpaper sized image with a background photo of a dark purple cloudy sky, inside a white quote bubble is a quote in black text by Andrea Gibson which reads “Your name is not a song you will sing under your breath. Your pronouns haven’t even been invented yet.”)
I know this is a wlw/nblw account, but there is barely any content for nblm that isn’t them being just added onto the end of a mlm post. so, I made some flag edits!
please credit my tumblr or instagram (@/sapphic.sprite) if you repost them to another media site! they took me a long time!
[image description: there are 9 nblm flags which in color order are dark purple, light purple, dark blue, light green, and then dark green. they all have a particular picture theme that the flags are made out of. The first one is a lego theme, the second one is a sky theme, the third one is a rose theme, the forth one is a succulent theme, the fifth one is a macaroon theme, the sixth one is a crystal theme, the seventh one is a flower theme, the eighth one is a fruit theme, and the ninth one is a space theme.]
i like being a lesbian and all, but holy shit, men are so cool. i hope all men reading this have a wonderful day.
i like being gay and all, but holy shit, women are so cool!!!! i hope all women reading this have a wonderful day as well!!!!!!!!!
[image description: the epic handshake meme. one arm is labelled gay people and the other is labelled lesbians. in the middle it says “fuck yeah bro”. end id]
genders of the day:
gender decrystalized
gender shifting
so, they will become flags eventually and better explained, for shifters and decrystalizers
Contramangender: A gender that is distinctly everything but male/man aligned/masculine, because of a hatred for or a repulsion of men. This gender is influenced by a hatred and bias against men, and a dislike of all things associated to and related to men.
