Differosexual (or differoromantic, ect. for various types of attraction); a multisexual orientation wherein one feels attraction to multiple genders (and/or genderless individuals) different from their own gender/s. Or, attraction involving at least one nonbinary person who interprets their gender* as different from their partner’s.
A differo binary man/woman experiences attraction to the other binary gender and at least one nonbinary gender (or genderless person). The specifics of the nonbinary person’s gender and whether the nonbinary person considers their gender dissimilar enough to the binary person’s to count as different-gender attraction is up to the nonbinary person to interpret.
A differo nonbinary person feels that all people they are attracted to do not share that gender, whether that is because they don’t have a gender, have a complicated or rare gender identity that statistically none of their crushes are going to share, or because they don’t consider the whole of their identity equivalent to someone sharing part of it*.
*ie a bigender man/woman may or may not consider their attraction to a binary man or woman to be gay, differo, or something else.
Notes: Alternate suggestions for the term itself and the flag are welcome since I am not the best at coining stuff, but I have the concept itself fairly clear in my mind. This word was created with myself in mind (I feel like no matter who I’m attracted to it’s het but het doesn’t exactly suggest multigender attractedness. I’m like the nonbinary version of het) but I decided to post it online incase anyone found it useful. If anything about the term is unclear feel free to ask for clarification. Also, I looked for a term like this but found none, if one already exists let me know.
Flag suggestions: (would appreciate input on whether 1 or 2 is more aesthetically pleasing)
Flag meaning: Gendered attraction is not always a simple, black and white matter- hence the shades of gray on the flag. The pink represents attraction.
