Anyone have any good suggestions? 🙂

I don’t know of any like that, sorry.

Don’t think I’ve heard of it.

Yeah, I agree. Not just polyamory, but all forms of ethical non-monoamory.

I personally don’t, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Oh okay! 🙂

There’s actually a term for this! Here’s the post for Histori-.

Hey there! Just a note, you can submit anonymously if you are logged out. 🙂

So the term is Animare-: people attracted to anime or cartoon characters?

Thanks for the term and flag!

Sounds good!

No worries, it was just taking me awhile to get to! But I posted it, hope that’s what you were asking for! 🙂

Transgender: An umbrella term covering all gender identities or expressions that transgress or transcend society’s rules and concepts of gender. To be trans usually means to identify as a gender other than the gender one was assigned at birth.

Transsexual/Transsex: An older term that originated in the medical and psychological communities. Still preferred by some people who have permanently changed – or seek to change – their bodies through medical interventions, including but not limited to hormones and/or surgeries. Unlike transgender, transsexual is not an umbrella term. Many transgender people do not identify as transsexual and prefer the word transgender.

While many trans people could technically fall under both categories, those who use transsexual (or transsex) to describe themselves refer to having some sort of dysphoria (usually body dysphoria) and either are or want to physically transition. This can be a bit tricky, since some people don’t want to go through every single medical intervention, but still want to transition somewhat. Or socially transition. That’s why transgender is used more often, as it covers all trans people, but those who want to personally use transsex(ual) to describe themselves are welcome to.

I don’t know of anything like that yet!

Here’s a link to the Ecto- flag.

“this sexuality doesn’t exist because there’s no scientific studies about it”

Let me break down how silly you actually sound when you say something as ignorant as this.

Tldr? I explain just how tough it is to formally get approved to do legal, ethical research in the USA, human sexuality in general is a huge pain in the ass to get approved because of how taboo the subject is. I’ve also personally worked on research committees, so I have “insider knowledge”.

For starters, did gravity suddenly not exist before we had theories and studies that actually absorb the physics of gravity? No? See how dumb that is?

Now let’s break down the actual reason for why saying something as stupid “the sexuality doesn’t exist, because no sign studies have been done on it” I’ve worked on research committees that help research proposals get approved so they can be published and formally recognized by the scientific community.

If you are not aware, a scientist could not just say, “I want to do a research on (blank) topic.” They have to go through the formal process of getting research (often via grants), write a research proposal to show to said people who will give the money to help fund their project, and and then IF they are given funding (big IF, espicially if it’s coining new terminology or concepts), they can then formally submit their research proposal to the research ethics committee (NIH) to get approved, or disapproved for their project idea.

The way approval works, simply put, is that everyone on the committee must give a uniamous approval. However, everyone on the committee is an ANONYMOUS source, typically with some kind of level of experience in the subject of the research paper (physics, biology, excercise science, sociology, whatever the subject is), or heavy interest in the research project subject. If even ONE person gives a disapproval, then the person has to go back to the research brainstorming table, and resubmit a modified proposal. This process continues, until the person gets a unanimous approval. However, many people lose interest in pursuing this, because of how tedious it can quickly become (I’ve know some researchers that had to resubmit SIX TIMES the same research idea before getting approved).

Again, the committees are anonymous, and you are not aware of what the other committee members are doing with the project (give a approval to the idea or deny the idea). So if you give the proposal a “no/negative/no stamp of approval” (whatever you want to call it), and you’re the only person that denied them? They have to start the process of proposing all over again to a committee with a modified proposal. The research committees, are typically given a template that they must grade the research proposal on, as well as make sure that the persons spelling and grammar are top notch.

If after all is said and done, you get approved, congrats you can do your study. then, it’s a matter of what journals you can submit your research too, and potentially gain fame, or infamy, depending on your own individual background experience, as well as what journal you specifically submit to. Some journals, even in the scientific community, have not so good reputations for being “scientifically sound” or might be very biased towards a certain set of ideas.

Human sexuality in general, is a very tough subject to get approved within research committees, because of how taboo the subject matter is. a great colleague of mine, actually was the first researcher to Pioneer study on pubic hair, and that was published in freaking 2015. Why it took that long to get a formal study about pubic hair done, I shall never know.

So yeah, when it comes to coining new terminology or anything like that, on top of it being involved in the human sexuality research field? You have a VERY SMALL CHANCE of it actually being approved within a REASONABLE time frame (reasonable for most other research topics is 6-12 months from the time you send off your first research proposal idea to the committee to when you actually get approved).

This is a common “go to” argument people go to when saying “THIS DOESNT EXIST” within lgbt/mogai, so this post might help inform them on how difficult it is to go through the whole research progress (and good reading material in general for our followers, given what our blog here is about)

There still has yet to be a term coined for that! So you’re welcome to do so.

👍🏿

I do not know of any terms for that yet, but you’re welcome to coin something!

Neopronouns are gender-neutral pronouns intended to replace the singular use of “they”. So any pronouns besides he/him/his, she/her/her, or they/them/their are considered neopronouns in the English language.

Although I don’t think “it” pronouns would be considered neoprounouns either. So anything besides those four pronoun sets.

I did not! Thanks!

Hey, I actually remember that one! That was awhile ago lol. I’ll add it to the request list. 🙂

That is a good point and I really need to do some revamping of the blog when I have the chance to.

Pretty much lol. I’m doing my best to enforce our new block policy, but there are soooo many angry blogs. Thanks for the kind message!

Yeah, exactly. Its pretty infantilizing. People that use lesser-known identities are just as diverse as the rest of the LGBT+ community and aren’t all confused teenagers.

You can be female but be okay with different pronouns! Pronouns =/= gender.

That’s why we do our best to tag them differently. 🙂

You’re right, lesbian =/= TERFs. However, a lot of TERFs have co-opted the purple lesbian flag for their own purposes, so there are some lesbians that are trying to reclaim it for what it originally was. Adding the trans symbol is just part of that reclamation. I didn’t make the flag, so you can take it up with your fellow lesbians on what flags you do or do not want.

I have no idea. 😦

I don’t know of one. Perhaps quoiamorous?

Hi, I noticed you have LGBT pride and Mad pride (like mental health) flags, but do you have any pride flags for physical health issues? Or know of a Tumblr that does? Thanks!

We do not currently make flags for physical health issues, and I don’t know of any blogs that currently do. If anyone knows of one, please let us know in the notes!

That’s a great idea!

Regardless of who you are and what ideals you hold, I implore you to read this. It took me quite a while to put together.

Keep reading

Ok but my dude we’re not your science project for you to watch and psychoanalyse like you’re Jane Goodall. We’re actual goddamn people, youth and adults, teens and middle age people. We all see stuff we don’t understand here, but the name of the game is trust. Trust that people know themselves better than we do, trust that if someone’s not actually one of these genders, they’ll figure things out eventually and it’ll be just another point in self discovery. Trust that experimenting with self is OK and these people will be fine because people can be trusted with their own self determination, people can be trusted with their own agency, especially if they’re mature and self aware enough to even question their gender and stick their neck out enough to check out some novel ideas that are, frankly, viciously mocked. No one needs some stranger to hand-hold them through their journey of understanding themselves and steer them back into “safety”.

We come here to be novel, to explore ourselves and a radically different way of thinking about gender. We don’t need your trolling and we don’t need rescuing. We have goddamn free will.

And I sincerely hope you understand how unethical what you’ve been doing is. You’ve been lying to a group that lives lives full of harassment, who built a community rooted in trust and understanding, and you misrepresent yourselves and take advantage of a carefully built atmosphere of good faith, why? For a laugh, to ridicule us, feed info back to your group chat to call us retards behind our back? ‘How dare these people be trusting, don’t they know there are people like me hiding here?’

Is that really what the punchline is?

How about, instead of getting whatever condescending conclusions you’ve drawn, you learn a real MOGAI value?

If you don’t understand it, and people are informed and doing something of their own free will and within bounds of the law, leave them alone, and mind your own business. We are not your freak show.

I hope you don’t mind me reblogging this, ‘cause this is very eloquently put.

-Fy

Yeah, they weren’t exactly good at hiding it. I never reblogged anything from them. But thanks for letting us know anyways. 🙂

Thanks for the input! 🙂

Ehhhhh that’s kinda bordering against my rules. Since I prefer not to have kink or fetish flags on BMPF in order to keep this blog safe for minors. You’re suggesting submitting genders related to kinks, but not flags for kinks themselves, so that’s not quite the same… 

I dunno, what do our followers think? I can, of course, tag anything that needs to be tagged. But this blog is for all of you, so what are your thoughts?

If followers decide no, feel free to submit them to me. I don’t have the same following and my blog isn’t just for gender stuff, but I’ll tag it with all the appropriate stuff!

That’s very helpful, thank you!

-Fy

Yeah, that’s totally fair. We have a lot of asks backed up, as well, and it takes awhile to get through all of them!

No one here thinks trans men can be lesbians. Again, alignment =/= gender.

Thanks for letting us know, as well. 🙂

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.

Thanks for the heads up, anon.

Not a problem at all, I understand that it can be worrying. And actually, I don’t recall having gotten any asks related to panengender, so you’re welcome to sent it in again!

Very true!

Here is a good page that explains what Quoi- orientations are. 🙂

Of course! Submissions are always welcome. 🙂
