Game On: An Extra Life for Diversity in Videogames

codefiant:

Hey everyone! There’s a video game store where I live owned by two trans people, one of whom is an autistic enby, and it’s exactly as great as it sounds. Last year they moved into a new, bigger space in order to better serve the community, including space for gaming rooms that they use to host things like transgender game nights and sensory-friendly game nights.

Unfortunately they basically got screwed by the renovator, and what was supposed to take two months ended up taking more than six, and they ended up doing the work themselves even though the renovator had already taken the money, including the money meant to purchase materials. On the other side of the finances, not only was money from renting out the gaming rooms supposed to make up a significant portion of their income, they also had to be closed during the time of the year that they have the most sales.

They’ve managed to stay afloat, but now they’re looking for one last push to get everything done. As of this post they have 55 hours left to go and aren’t even halfway to their goal. Please signal boost, and donate if you can! (You’ll get a cool t-shirt!)

I hope it’s okay to reblog this; I saw it in the MOGAI tag and thought it’d be important to reblog since it’s time sensitive.

I love to play video games (when I have the time), and I always prefer to support local video game stores. This one in particular seems even more important in being focused on diversity and accessibility.

So donate if you can!

Game On: An Extra Life for Diversity in Videogames

I’m a man and I’ve been calling myself bi but really only my attraction to men is important to me, but I don’t want to identify as gay because I am physically attracted to women sometimes. would it be ok/accurate for me to id as androsexual even though I’m not nonbinary? I feel like it’s a good term that delineates that I’m into guys a lot but it doesn’t totally exclude other genders. if not, is there any other term that fits? I don’t want to use the SAM + I want something simple/understandable

That could work; although andro- is often used with nonbinary people in mind, it is not exclusively so. 

Some other options are Achillean (men-loving-men, for any man who is in some way attracted to other men), or Mascic, which is an umbrella term for literally anyone who is in some way attracted to men.

[Image: a 3-striped horizontal flag with stripes in descending order: red, blue, and pale yellow. There is a white circle in the middle with a red 7-pointed star within it.]

Vitas factkin: identifying partially or entirely as Vitáliy Vladasovich Grachyov, also known as the singer Vitas.

The colors of the flag come from one of Vitas’s most popular albums, Smile!, and the singer’s origins of Latvia, Ukraine, and Russia.

None already falls on non-binary spectrum, although someone identifying as none of gender could be nullary instead of nonbinary, but that’s another of (non)gender arity.

There’s no other flag for none, except a combo made by mod Light.

Only a genderly none person can determine what gender arity they have or have not.

Gaybian: being gay and lesbian at once.

constellation-of-queer:

Sclerabaonic ( @beyond-mogai-pride-flags )

Somehow I missed this lol whoops.

Sclerabaonic: a gender that changes depending on the eye color of people who are in close proximity to the the sclerabaonic person (ex: a sclerabaonic person may feel more like a man around a person with blue eyes, but more like a woman around a person with brown eyes).

-Fy

What’s the difference between -baonic and -coric? Just kinda confused :0

I may be off base here, but from what it seems to me, -baonic is a general gender suffix like -gender. But you should probably ask @constellation-of-queer to be sure.

-coric, on the other hand, is not a general gender suffix. It is only to be used for xenogenders related to any ‘core’ (like lovecore). It seems to be a mash of -core and the general gender suffix -ic, so a xenogender related to lovecore is lovecoric.

hi, i want to ask if there’s a term coined for being attracted to the apocalypse? i know that this sounds really weird but i feel like i’m attracted to the idea of the end of the world, and i can only be attracted to people when they’re invested in the idea of the apocalypse too. i wanted to coin the term apocasexual: when your attraction is influenced by your partner being interested in the apocalypse. is there another term for this already?

beyond-mogai-pride-flags:

I don’t know of any term like that yet, and Apocagender doesn’t seem to be taken yet so that should work fine.

(you mean apoca-?)

…yes, yes I did.

-Fy

Hey so I coined a term. It’s proxsupra, and it’s agender but like on a different plane of gender. It’s similar to proxvir and juxera, but it’s the fully NB version of those. I use a color metaphor, blue=male red=female whitw=agender and yellow=proxsupra. I think it would be good for godkin or angelkin or other ppl that feel more connected with things above humanity. @sanriocourse on Instagram made a post about it and it has a pride flag I made. Thank u <3 tumblr pls don’t eat my ask

Oh cool!

luxite-keith:

New gender descriptor term!

Quantigender

(Also ‘Superposic’ and ‘genderquantum’.)

Two or more entangled shades of gender experience, typically opposed in such a way that one cannot be described without the other. A quantum gender is fundamentally incapable of being described completely; therefore, quantigender denotes a gender which can be approximated or generalized but never truly pinned down. This gender is deeply related to a mathematical/scientific understanding of the universe.

I also created this variation, quantiangelic (based on the colors from the angeligender flag). It is inspired by the quantum-mechanical nature of light, as it is made of both particles and waves, each facet becoming more apparent in different situations. It is linked to a concept just beyond human understanding, something higher-dimensional.

Are you ever gonna look at my requests…?

I’m really sorry, I still don’t currently have the ability to at the moment. But we will get to them eventually, these things just happen sometimes. I do wish for your patience, I’m not ignoring your requests. 🙂

Can you please make a MO and MGA flag combo? I love the cisnt straightnt flag but I feel like it’s like… more of a fun way to display my identity rather than a serious one? I also love the MO/MGA flags and I think they’d look nice together. Thank you in advance!

arco-pluris:

I caught all their colors putting them into 10 stripes, after some little recoloring to agree with perspective according to my visual favorability POV to match the stripes around them.

I tried my best to not let this be heavy colored. Give tips if you want another one.

Context: 

  • MO means marginalized oriented/orientation; 
  • MGA means marginalized gender aligned/alignment. 

Gender Re-/Debinarized Flags

arco-pluris:

Gender Rebinarized Pride Flag

image

Gender Rebinarization/Rebinarisation: indicating someone’s gender experience is rebinarised, otherwise their gender is embedded into binary again, so rebinary enby.

Gender Debinarized Pride Flag

image

Gender Debinarization/Debinarisation: the quality of being unleashed from gender binary or having a gender experience that is debinarised, so debinary enby. The reversal way of rebinarie.

These pride flags are meant to represent people whose gender (identity &/or expression) is consensually associated with binary &/or not. Someone could be debinarized and rebinarized at the same time.

Gender Terroriste Pride Flag

image

Gender Terrorism has no right meaning, but I’d best define personally as unlawful attitude towards gender roles, opposing to respectability politics. May akin to gender anti-prohibitionism and not essentially with gender skepticism.

We can’t tell who originally coined it, since this terminology was possibly started virtually by Dakota Hendrix identifying as gender terrorist via YouTube and got popularized in Brazil by Linn da Quebrada, whose Iberophone equivalent is terrorista de género.

Do you know of any genders based on trauma? Tysm

Caedogender/Caedgender: A gender which has been “cut away” by a traumatic event. A gender that was once felt but has been damaged or lost due to trauma.

Traumatagender/Traumatgender/Trautgender/Trauatgender: A gender that varies; it can change a lot, it could be unknown, it could just be there, it could be nonexistent, etc. Whatever it is, it was based from intense trauma. Should only be used by those who have experienced or are going through what they consider intense trauma.

Hey, so I’m biologically male and I’m genderfluid- I have gender dysphoria and sometimes I hate having a male body, and sometimes I love having masculine features depending on if I feel male or female at the time. I have a odd question- is it considered trans when I identify as female simply bc it’s not my biological gender? Thanks.

Identifying as a woman when you are amab (assigned male at birth) would indeed make you trans. Being genderfluid, by virtue of not being 100% man or 100% woman (and thus nonbinary), would also make you trans. So you sound quite trans to me. 🙂

Multinominal, polynominal, plurinominal, pluronominal and name collector. -nominal is the suffix applying adjectives relative to names, nomination and nominative denotation (nominativity).

There’s no flag for it, as far as we know.

major project i’d like help with

lovemogai:

i’m making several (because of channel limits) discord servers to act as archives for orientations, genders, pronouns, flags, presentations, alignments, and the like.

here is a snippet of the gender server, showing how things are organized.

basically, i need help with this. i need people to help collect and post these identities in the servers since there are just so many.

it’s intended to be a long-term project, but you can opt out at any time. the archives will be constantly growing.

if you’d like to help, send an ask off-anon and i’ll give you the invite! i could use all the help i can get! if you have any questions, also send an ask!

hey, i have a question. i’m looking for a five-striped flag that’s periwinkle on top, white, yellow, and two dark blue stripes at the bottom. do you have any idea of what this could possibly be? i saw someone with this flag yesterday on their shirt and i’m very curious now!

So something like this?

(Results may vary since I don’t know the shades of the colors)

The first three stripes are reminiscent of the Mascfluidflux flag, but I’m not sure if I’ve seen one like that with five stripes.

Does anyone else have an idea?

I suck so much at knowing if I’m bi or demi or omni or pan or anything like that. It’s almost frustrating that I feel pressured to pick when I just never know anymore and I feel like if I say I’m questioning people will be unsure about me 😞

It can be pretty frustrating, especially when being pressured by others to know what your orientation or else you’re “faking” or “not really this or that”. But there’s nothing wrong with questioning. If you don’t feel comfortable picking a label, you’re also welcome to use a broader label as well. (So for example, if you’re pretty sure you’re attracted to multiple genders but not sure which or how many, you can use multi-. Or if you’re not sure if you’re demi-, but you’re pretty sure you’re aspec somehow, you can just say aspec.)

I consider myself a gay boy but I barely find myself attracted to men? Or I just don’t notice them? I always find women hot and they’re always the ones I first notice so I’m starting to really question if I’m actually gay? I would never date a women so I’m not sure if I’m straight either. Is there a word for what I’m feeling?

Well, your orientation is based on your attraction, so it doesn’t sound like you are a gay man. Although you don’t date women, you apparently are predominantly attracted to them. However, you said that, although rarely, you are also attracted to men. So it seems like you are some sort of multisexual. Bi, poly-, or multi- could work. 

I’m really stupid but I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere so I might as well ask- since omni is having a attraction to all genders but not being “gender blind” is it basically like being pan but having preferences for gender or . . . ?

So that’s kind of a misconception. Pan- can mean attraction to all genders or regardless of gender, but it doesn’t mean “gender blind”. While there are some people who say that omni- means you have preferences, you honestly can also have preferences as pan-. 

Some definitions of omni- don’t limit their attractions to humans only, and say that they could possibly be attracted to advanced sentient races (i.e. aliens) or alterhumans (ie. otherkin, therians), as well as all human genders. 

In a lot of cases, they’re used pretty synonymously though. The difference between pan- and omni-, for both orientation and gender, isn’t all that clear-cut. It’s really up to the individual to decide which label to use.

Hello again! I’m the person who asked about gender related to vision loss and I’m really bad at coining terms. Do you have any suggestions? Or maybe help me to make a flag?

We only make flags for named terms, so you gotta coin one first!

So the basics of coining terms are that you find a word that describes the gender itself to be the prefix, and then use -gender or some other suffix (some popular ones are -ic, -ian, -ean, -an). Although sometimes you can have gender be the prefix and your word as the suffix (like Genderfluid).

You can use a relevant english word, or perhaps something in latin? So, as an example, (based on Google translate, so take this with a grain of salt) the latin word for “blind” is caecus. So you could do something like Caecusgender, Gendercascus, Caecusic, Caecusian, etc. 

That’s just an example, of course. You’re welcome to pick a better term that you feel is more relevant to your gender experience. 

why say “folx” if “folks” is already a gender-neutral term?

I don’t think folx is meant to be a replacement for folks so much as it is meant to be used for a specific group of people (that being people who are LGBTQIAP+/MOGAI or otherwise not pericishethet), as opposed to folks which is just a general group of people. Here is someone answering the same question.

Hiya! I’m not entirely sure if I’ve asked this here because I’ve been going to different blogs and asking since I haven’t gotten a response yet, but I was diagnosed with a condition where I lose my vision over the time. I feel like my struggles associated with my vision loss have influenced my gender and I was wondering if there was an existing term that was similar to my experience.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find one. If someone does know of one, please do comment. Otherwise, you’re welcome to coin something anon. 🙂

Hi, I’m the oriented aroace quasiplatonic aegosexual etc. anim who sent u a flag request recently. I’ve been struggling with my identity and found some more terms that fit me. Because of this mr request has become inaccurate. I would still like to request a flag but I’d like it to be accurate so I’d like to ask a few questions if that’s ok? First off if I am repulsed by the idea of being in a romantic relationship but otherwise adore romance does that make me apothiromantic? (Part 1 out of ???)

wavership:

wavership:

beyond-mogai-pride-flags:

Secondly I feel as though Im open to my future partner(s) viewing our relationship as romantic as long as they allow me to view it as non-romantic or only partially romantic. Is there some term for that? Like allowing a person or people to view a relationship in a different way then you do? Seems like something that might have a term idk. I feel as though I have more questions but I think that’s all I have atm so I’m sorry for bothering you and I hope you have a good day

I’m so glad you’ve found terms that you feel fit you better. 🙂 I can do my best to try and help you with your questions.

So for the first one, it sounds like you’re not repulsed to romance but just the relationship. That sounds more like that would be Apothiamory more than anything. A repulsion to (typically romantic) relationships.

As for your second question, I’m afraid I can’t think of anything for that. Perhaps someone in the aro community can correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think there’s a term for that? I don’t think it’s an uncommon thing for arospecs, though.

Hopefully that helped a little!

I feel like that second one does have a word, but I can’t think of it off the top of my head. A wavership could work as the relationship, though!

RB’ing because someone who follows me probably knows the term I’m thinking of!

UPDATE: I think Variship is what you’re looking for!! Shout out to @xeno-aligned for helping me figure it out

hi, uhh sorry if this is super awkward or whatever, but if you have time, i hope you can find a flag for me! i thought i was non binary for the longest time but i’m also super feminine, but whenever i get my period i feel super masculine and i dont know what to do? like sometimes i’m perfectly fine with they/them or xie/xim, but then all of a sudden i want to be she/her? then he/him? i am just so confused and i’m sorry if this is too long but thanks so much anyways! <3

Hi! It’s totally okay to be confused, don’t worry. Now, femininity/masculinity and pronouns don’t necessarily mean that your gender is changing. However, since you are asking, I’m going to go forward assuming you mean your gender also changes. This means that it sounds like you are some sort of Genderfluid, which does still fall under the Non-Binary umbrella. And if you want to be more specific, there is also:

Cyclogender: A gender identity that changes with one’s menstrual cycle.

Hope that’s what you were looking for!

Hi hi!! Person who coined Coric here! Uh really sorry to have send these asks to you, but I figured it would be the best place since I submitted the terms here. I wanted to clear some things up about Coric genders since I have been seeing a lot of misinformation being spread around and it is bugging the absolute shite out of me!! So 1- there is no Coric if there is no “core”! I think this would be pretty obvious but its okay if you were misinformed! So lets say that your gender is related (1/?)

to…lets say tires. So your gender could be Tirecoric right? Bzzt! Nope! If you look up “tirecore” you get nothing, so Tirecoric can’t be a thing! At least not until tirecore is a thing, but until then Tirecoric can’t exist. So you would use Tiregender or sumthin instead. Ok so onto 2- anyone can identify as a Coric gender! They arent neurogenders or anything, they’re more like aesthetic genders. The only requirement for identifying as a Coric gender is saying you do. Thats it! (2/?)

Sorry again for sending you all these asks but its been really bugging me seeing people hand out rules for genders that I coined lmao. So uh yah hopefully that clears things up. I am really glad its caught on though! The more Coric people the better!! (3/3)

No need to apologize! Thanks for clearing things up!

GLS: gays, lésbicas ou simpatizantes (freely translated as gay men, lesbians or supporters (or sympathizers)). Using rainbow colors deviding space with lesbian flag’s three colors and other three colors from two ally flags.

History: similar to queer movement and gay & lesbian alliances, this terminology brought up in the 1980s and 1990s in Brazil, the initials were used more for commercial purposes such as in nightclubs, an outdated acronym for LGBT+. See these some sources (all in Portuguese).

This wasn’t used as exclusioniosts and exclusionaries want nowadays, this historically included drag queens, asexuals, trans women, travestis and bisexuals, but implicitly. Straights were always welcomed, specially outsiders, women and drags in general.

Um, so is the discord still active?

Although I did plan on setting up a discord before the whole Tumblr deactivation thing, I haven’t actually gotten around to it yet. But if there’s enough interest, then I’ll plan on making one as soon as I’m not so busy!

hi, I’m a girl and I’m attracted to girls but I don’t know what to call myself because sometimes I don’t have attraction to anyone. Is there a term for this and if so what is it?

Let’s see… there is:

Aceflux: a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum & is defined as someone who’s sexual orientation fluctuates but always stays on the ace spectrum. (ex. one day you’re demi, another day akoi, the next ace, etc) and/or someone who’s sexual orientation fluctuates from experiencing sexual attraction, some sexual attraction, & experiencing no sexual attraction. Some people who are aceflux feel as if they are allosexual at times, while other aceflux people don’t feel that way.

Lesbiflux/Homoflux/Gayflux: a gay person/lesbian who’s attraction fluxes between levels of attraction (including no attraction).

Or you can combine them! Up to you!

Hey, I think my ask got lost or assumed to be a troll. I saw the ambiamory post, and was wondering if there’s a term like that, but for people whose mono-polyam status defaults to that of their partner(s)? I’m not just ambivalent, I want what they want. My current partner wants a mono, so I want a mono. If I were to start dating someone who wanted a polyam, or someone/some people already in a polyam, I’d want a polyam.

Nope, we didn’t think you were a troll, I’ve just been pretty busy lately so it’s been taking more a little more time to get through all of the asks. Sorry for any problems I may have caused here lol.

To answer your question, I don’t think there is a term for that yet, as far as I know. So you’re welcome to coin something!

Not the same anonymous. Oriented aroaces might feel other types of attraction instead of queerplatonic one, i.e. sensual or alterous. And qplatonic people don’t necessarily feel attraction at all. Aroace was also used as a form of saying you’re anattractional in all possible attractions, that’s why this terminology popped up. While quasiplatonity came to deimperialize amourous relationships and amato-normativity (romantic love).

Regardless what most definitions say, it’s possible for queerplatonity to be allosexual &/or alloromantic

Quella: Counterpart to Qupha. A gender that is associated with ‘girl’, but not ‘woman’. This association is not caused by age. Quella is associated with princesses, air, water, and the color blue. Can be traditionally feminine but does not have to be. Ultimately, it’s up to the Quella to decide.

Maybe a pride flag for gender that changes depending on the weather?

Here are some options!

Aerogender: Where an individual’s gender relies highly on their setting and/or atmosphere, which can be composed of a great number of things (ex. who they’re around, their level of comfort, the temperature, the weather, the time of day/year, etc.)

Genderflora: A gender that blooms and evolves based on weather and atmosphere; similar to genderfluid but more plant-like.

Heagender: Kind of an all-encompassing thing for glarogender and feugender. When your gender depends on the weather and temperature.
Comes from the word ‘Heavens’, the sky above.

What’s the fundamental difference between calling yourself agenderfluid and agender-flux? I really hate the flag for agenderfluid but I cant find one for agender-flux when I describe them as seperate identities I call myself agender and genderfluid which makes me agender-flux I think but yeah I’m really not sure!

Agenderfluid: Agender as “base” gender but experiences fluid/fluxing gender feelings in tandem with their emotions. These gender feelings may confuse or upset the individual and cause their emotional state to go haywire, which causes more gender changes, or a fluid gender identity where one’s “base” gender is agender. They may experience other gendered feelings, but they always return to feeling agender.

Agenderflux: A gender identity that is mostly agender, but has a connection to masculinity and/or femininity, and/or other gendered feelings. That connection may be static or fluid, where one feels that the gender one experiences changes. 

There also are multiple flags for both of them, including at least 3 seperate ones for Agenderfluid and at least 8 for Agenderflux. If you’re having a hard time finding them, the alternate name for Agenderfluid is Cancegender, and the alternate name for Agenderflux is Librafluid. You can look up those, as well.

Hi again, I was the one that asked about the masc/null and you said I was either, a Transman, or a Transmasculine/ Transneutral non-binary (or Transneumasc). However I have a question about that, how can someone be Transneutral non-binary because aren’t those the same?? Like Non-binary is the neutral point between both binary genders, so wouldn’t that be Transneutral too? And What’s Transneumasc and how does it work? And if I was one of these genders how would that make me Gender Non-Comforming

So for your first question… no, Transneutral and Non-Binary are not the exact same thing. Transneutral is part of the Non-Binary umbrella, but not all Non-Binary genders are neutral. Non-Binary just means to be not a binary gender (not entirely man or entirely woman). There are many many other genders that fall under this umbrella. 

Transneumasc is someone who is AFAB, but feels like their gender is both more “masculine” or neutral. This can be kinda confusing, admittedly, since the terms masculine and feminine are typically used to describe presentation. But it’s ultimately up to the individual to discern the difference between their gender and gender presentation. It was just one possibility I gave you since you described your gender as mainly feeling masculine or null/neutral. 

So, for your last question, assuming you were transmasculine, transneutral, or transneumasc, you could also consider yourself gender non-conforming because you also said you “like being feminine”, including your liking of pastel colors and cute fluffy things. As you say, these things are typically not associated with someone who is a man, or has a masculine and/or neutral gender. To be gender non-conforming means to present oneself in a way that is atypical from what is considered “normal” for their gender. Although you say that you feel like you have to get rid of these “feminine” things in order to be seen as a man, I assume that you don’t want to and would prefer to be able to be seen as your gender while also being able to wear pastels and whatnot.

Ultimately I can only make observations based on the asks someone sends me and make suggestions based off of that, so if anything I said seems off base then it just might be because I don’t know the full story. But you’re certainly welcome to keep asking questions as you try and figure yourself out. 🙂

Understanding more amicality

arco-pluris:

I don’t actually ~coined~ it, just lexically expressed a translation of something already existing (signified). Some simply examples:

  • Platonic friendship: social interaction/intimacy (pre-)existing in your mind;
  • Social friendship: relation characterized on socializing with each other, often associated as acquaintanceship;
  • Amical friendship: trustful and loyal you engaged so much that tastes almost as QPPs or best friends, still not the same.

Amizade (or amistad) generally relates parceria (team play, association or partnership), so it’s possible for romances (romanticities) or qplatonicities (qplatonities or qplatonisms) to be amical. E.g.

  • Amical-qplatonic partnership: a QPR/QPP with mutual collaboration, contemplative experience of affinity and almost near to a doraric/alterous relationship anarchy (free love);
  • Romantic-amical partners: constructing a close relational friendship into a relatious romantism/romanticism and interpersonal communication that it works like best friends even though they have amorous/gamous fidelity or some other form of commitment.

Amisad/e could be translated as amicity/amistity or amizity/amisity. ` ap

Schizo-spec Pride Flag

Schizo-spectrum, mostly known as schizophreniac spectrum, includes disorders such as schizophreniform, schizoaffective, schizoid and schizotypal personality ones, sometimes paranoid too.

Schizo-preffixed disorders etymologically means the same as schizophrenic since -phrenia means mind and derives phrḗn, psychiatrically not. SPD (schizoidia) is classified as a “schizophrenia-like” personality disorder. There is some overlap as some people with autism also qualify for a diagnosis of schizotypal, paranoidia/paranoia, avoidance/avoidant/escape coping or schizoid PD, which is cluster A. Source is also on wikipedia.

Brown is a colour most preffered by schizophrenics, according to this article, making sense for me that associate it reasonably with societal skepticism, asociality and atypical companionships, personally as an extrovert. Pallid/pale colors because schizo- as a whole, note that schizo adjective is also used as a slur for a lot of people, at least in West Iberian (esquizo). Darkened to be greyed. Green from original flag.

Bipolar-spec Pride Flag

mad-pride:

Bipolar spectrum: a term used to refer to conditions that include not only bipolar disorder as traditionally defined (that is, clear episodes of mania or hypomania as well as depressive syndromes) but also other types of mental conditions that can involve depression or mood swings without manic or hypomanic episodes – including some impulse control disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and forms of substance abuse. Some psychiatrists find the “bipolar spectrum” concept to be a useful framework for thinking about the driving force behind a wider range of mental health problems. Others, however, argue that symptoms alone often aren’t diagnostic, and may reflect other conditions that have their own unique causes and treatments; critics also point out that treatments used for bipolar I or II disorder may not necessarily be safe or effective for conditions that only “loosely” resemble bipolar disorder.

Schizobipolar Pride Flag

Schizobipolarity, schizobipole or schizobipolarness is a schizo-spec and bipolar-spectral psychosis often referred as schizomania (schizomanic/schizomaniac disorder), ½ bipolarness and schizoaffectivity (schizoaffective disorder), characterized by hypomania, manic episodes, depressive and positive psychotic symptoms. Different from typical schizoaffective disorders, it mixes manias, depressivity and mood disorder. 

Flag designer: I was diagnosed with bipolarity/bipole, depression and mood disorder, I have many schizoid aspects manifested after childhood and I since I fall somewhere in between both spectrums, I had many dissociative and schizophrenic moments because of PTSD (post-traumatic stress) and other quoigenic traumas too. So I made this flag for those, even not having medical diagnosis, on/under both spectra in some way.

So, I’m kind of confused about my gender. I’m an AFAB but I feel disgusted on my physical female traits and like only being call He/Him or They/Them (more He/Him). I mainly feel masculine or null/neutral but I like being feminine, I just don’t like the sex characteristics of being a female. I like pastel colors and cute fluffy things, but I also bind and pack and throw away all cute things to be seen male? But I don’t know if that’s even the case for me. Can you help

Hi there! It sounds to me like you’re either a trans man or a transmasculine/transneutral non-binary individual. Like transneumasc, perhaps.

It also sounds like you’re Gender Non-Conforming, but that you have to present yourself as a gender conforming trans individual in order for people to (hopefully) be more respectful of your gender identity. It is unfortunate, but it’s something a lot of us have to do in order to be “taken seriously” by cis people. Liking cute things doesn’t make you any less trans! And it is ridiculous that you feel like you have to get rid of those things in order to be more accepted. Hopefully you’ll someday be in a position where you feel like you can keep the cute things and also have your identity respected.

Synesthegender Pride Flag

beyond-mogai-pride-flags:

[Image: an 11-striped horizontal flag with stripes in descending order: red-pink, purple, blue, green, yellow, white, light yellow, light green, light blue, light purple, light red-pink.]

Synesthegender: when one’s perception of gender is affected by their synesthesia. This could be their own gender, or gender in general.

There are five colored stripes to represent the five common senses, sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell, but together they also represent lesser known senses and concepts. White represents gender. The brighter stripes represent projective synesthesia, and the duller stripes represent associative synesthesia.

Synesthesia is most commonly known to combine senses, for example allowing someone to hear colors, but it can also affect preception of concepts and symbols such as letters, units of time, and genders.

Edited with the new flag made by the coiner!

I think you have to explore gender systems like elements, alignments and energies. You can combine things like juparian lunarian (feminine-aligned with masculine gender energy), for example. Boyishness would be useful since it’s a qualifier of a boy, being boyish, see fervian as a masc gender element. You may also be gender non-conforming with a girlish/girly masculinity too, in presentation terms, separated from identifiers. Chances are there you are a cross-aligned bigender.

Sooo ig there is some interest in sissy as a gender! But there aren’t a lot of flags for it right? Just the regular Sissy flag. But! There are some people who are only partly sissy. Soooo I made! A thing!

Ta da! The Demisissy pride flag! For people who only partially identify as a sissy and partly as some other gender.

It’s not really the best flag ever, I just like put my blog banner over top of the demigender flag. But I think it’s effective?? And I’m hoping that it’ll be useful for some people!

edit- hrm…. maybe I should tag a couple blogs I follow. Lemme know if you want me to untag you. @lgbtqiarchive @variant-archive

sans landon pride

To make a long story short, me and my friends are part of a very small local community known as Sans Landon, we made it ourselves and we identify as Landongender, our pronouns being Lan/Lans/Lanself. We all came together and decided it would be nice to have our own pride flag. We are asking if you could design a pride flag for us. We are quite passionate about our identities, so it would be nice to have a flag design to stand behind with pride and confidence.

That’s great, but we still need a definition for any orientation or gender we make a flag for.

Hey, I know my sexual orientation pretty well (bi!) But my romantic orientation is a bit weird. I would say aroflux or abroromantic, but that would imply either a) I’m only arospec or b) that when I do have romantic attraction, it fluxes, respectively. Sometimes I’m biromantic, sometimes I can’t feel romance under any circumstances and those are the only 2 I Flux between. It can be in between (like 50 or 60% attracted.) Is there a term for that?

Hi there! So what I’m getting from this is that your romantic orientation can flux between being fully aromantic and fully biromantic, with some in-between going on sometimes. 

Aroflux could still work because it doesn’t just mean someone who’s romantic orientation fluctuates but always stays on the aro spectrum, but is also for someone who’s romantic orientation fluctuates from, experiencing romantic attraction, some romantic attraction, & experiencing no romantic attraction.

Another option could be Biflux-romantic (aka Biroflux), which is when you’re biromantic but your attractions fluctuate. This would probably be the closest to what you’re asking for.

Bxygxrl, Bxrl, Femxche/Fxmache or Gxrlbxy: an identity that is both boygirl and agender/no gender. You can be a girlboy and agender/no gender at the same time, go between them, or fluctuate between feeling femache and not feeling gender.

Librafemache, Libraboygirl or Libragirlboy (edit): mostly agender, but with a particular connection or little attachment to girlboyhood.

There’s also ambonec and ergender, but they works unspecifically, with neither and nonbinary, not specifying genderlessness. Nixavire is close but this one envolves alignments. Libraändrogyne/libraandrogynous, librangi, nixangi & librandrogyny are alternatives too.

I will try exemplifying: while some qplatonic contacts are often considered partners (as in QPP – queer platonic partner), regular platonized ones would be just acquainted or friended (contacts in case are not compatible with crushes (squishes & plushes/squashes)). Think: everything a romantic relation has, there could work in a QPR too. So in the end of the day, qplatonity is an amato-attraction (amory/amoury, amorous/amourous).

Queerplatonicity is encompassed by platonity. They are both seen as types of friendships or acquaintanceships, while qplatonicity being more deep and intimate than platonicity alone. Regardless of definitions, platonism in anglosphere is commonly associated with sociality and amicality. Let’s see:

  • Platonic: the desire to form/create a close (or closer) platonic relationship/fellowship/acquaintanceship with another, or a willingness to engage in a very deep symbiotic friendship, sharing interests and experiences, but without the romantic involvement of both parties.
  • Social: “aspirational” or mentor-attraction; a desire to be closer to and/or more like someone because of their perceived talent and/or wisdom, based on socializing/interacting with any particular person(s) or group(s), forming social relationships, interpersonal/group dynamics and societal relations. Wanting/needing social relationships within the public life sphere, showing yourselves as socially closer and more alike you might inspire in you this form of attraction.
  • Amical: on a higher level of affinity than in just social/interpersonal circles (that are more impersonal). This works as a simple or best/close friends, while having hierarchy between amic contacts as a result of some of them being more affectional/affectionate/affective or approximated/near than others. Some amicals consider proximate contacts as irmanal/hermanal (consanguineal/lineal, sororal/fraternal/germanal, brotherly/sisterly/sibly, siblingly/siblinglike), naternal/parental (zaternal/maternal/paternal, motherly/fatherly/rentherly) or otherwise familial/familiar.
    • Queerplatonity (quasiplatonic or quirkyplatonic): between romantic and platonic; neither romantic nor platonic, but can be functionally similar to both; a type of attraction that (while certainly aromantic) cannot be properly reduced to platonic without leaving some important aspects out. Also used as an umbrella term for any relationship that falls outside of the strict “romantic-or-platonic” binary. Can aim to live together, exchange affections interpreted as romantic, have sexual exclusivity among themselves, among other factors, without having romantic attraction involved.

Note that it all are just empiricism and socialized constructs, according to some identity narratives within their own subjectivities, they could all mean the same or imagine friendships as irrealistic and nonsensical/nonexistent.
