Gender Non-Conforming Pride Flag

image

Gender Non-Conforming: refers to people who do not follow other people’s ideas or stereotypes about how they should look or act based on their gender.

Sorry about the sudden influx of flags, I just finished the last one last night after veeeerrry slowly finishing all of the requests I had piling up. 

I might turn asks back on soon, but things in life are just not slowing down, so even if I do turn them back on I would be getting to them veeeeeerrry slowly.

Sorry guys, I just really gotta focus on other stuff right now. I’ll try and pop in and out whenever I get the chance, though.

Thanks for your patience!

AvPD and BPD flags

Hi, I’m @kermaphroditos and I came up with some designs for avoidant and borderline personality disorder flags.

AvPD

First is avoidant personality disorder. The shades of gray-blue are supposed to represent overwhelming anxiety and low self-esteem (people with anxiety and low self-esteem tend to say that gray is the best colour to represent our moods). The yellow represents anxiety and being surrounded by this big world of criticism and rejection, with the white symbolizing the belief that we have no connection with the outside world. “Too much [yellow], or the wrong tone in relation to the other tones in a colour scheme, can cause self-esteem to plummet, giving rise to fear and anxiety.”

Edit: Changed the design to look less like the Libranonbinary pride flag.

BPD

This one is for borderline personality disorder. The even split between black and white symbolizes “splitting”, seeing everything in black and white, all good or all bad. In the center is a gray hand of Eris, referring to the Greek goddess of discord, Eris. There tends to be a lot of contradiction and discord in the lives of people with BPD. The gray is the colour of the BPD awareness ribbon.

I hope these designs are good, if anything needs to be changed let me know!

—————————————————————————————————-

Nice! Hopefully this’ll encourage others to make some flags, too!

I’m Gonna Take A Break

So…yeah. Just as the header states…I think I’m going to take a break.

I honestly didn’t really want to, because I honestly do love making flags for all you guys that ask for them. But…I gotta be honest with myself, and I’m honestly not doing so great.

I have my own set of problems mentally and emotionally. I don’t like to get into it because I’m a very private person and I don’t consider it relevant. But recently I’ve just been doing really bad with everything going on, and running this blog has recently just been another thing dragging me down at the moment.

So I’m going to turn off asks. So if you want to request a flag, please just keep it in your thoughts until I get back. I already have too many requests built up that I’ll have to get around to. I’ll leave submissions open for those that want to submit their own flags, of course. I may pop in once in awhile to post some submissions, or I might not. I’m just going to try and take a break from this site altogether really.

I’m really really sorry. It shouldn’t be for too long, I just need to get my bearings enough to the point where I’ll be emotionally stable enough to start things up and running again. I…really need sleep. So if I can just cut this one thing out for a short time, I think it’ll help give me a bit of relief.

Ily guys. 🙂 Be back soon.

-Fy

Hey I was thinking, it might lighten the workload wrt the neurodivergent/MI flags if you opened the floor for people who have those disorders to make their own flags? This way you have less work to do and the communities can have flags made by ourselves in a way? Like I already made ideas for AvPD and BPD for example.

kermaphroditos:

beyond-mogai-pride-flags:

You…are an amazing person. This message came at just the right time.

Submissions are and have always been open, so go ahead and make flags the way you want them to, of course!

Thanks! I’ll add the finishing touches and send them in when they’re done, okay?

Sounds good. 🙂

Would you be down for doing a SPD (sensory processin disorder) flag, and maybe also separate flags for underresponsiveness to sensory stimulation, overresponsiveness and sensory-seeking? I wouldn’t use them myself as I don’t like slapping pride flags everywhere to tell people what I am — I just prefer outright telling them (there are some exceptions to that,) but I think those might come in handy to others sometime. Thanks in advance!

If you don’t mind the wait lol. Sounds like a plan!

I’m the one who asked for a lot of the neurodivergent flags and a lot of people are misinterpreting them. They aren’t meant to be for pride in the disorders *themselves*, per say, but rather I wanted them as symbols of pride that I’m in recovery from these things. I wanted an anorexia flag, for example, not as a pro-ana statement (I am not at all pro-ana), but as a visual symbol of the fact that I am *fighting* anorexia. Hope that clears things up.

Thank you for the message. Hopefully it’ll clear things up. 

I’ll attach a link to this message on each of the posts for the flags you requested so people can have some context.

could you do otherkin pride flags? like plantkin, starkin, and seakin? Only if you do that type of thing/have time, thanks! <3 Xoxo

I do make otherkin pride flags. 🙂 If you take a look through my dA gallery, in the folder for Alterhuman Personal Identities, you will find all of the flags I’ve made so far for otherkin. I made a plantkin flag and a celestialkin flag (although they do need to be cleaned up a bit). I could still make a starkin flag as it’s own thing, if you’d like, as well as a seakin flag. 

It’ll take some time, though, so please be patient. 🙂

different anon here. in my opinion, making neurodiversity “pride flags” isn’t a bad thing – but putting them on a blog that is all about representing terms you can identify with isn’t a great idea. being neurodivergent isn’t something you “identify” with, it’s something you are diagnosed with. maybe make a different blog for neurodivergent pride flags?

You are very welcome to make your own blog. It’s much more easier to maintain one blog where I can make flags for multiple different facets of one’s identity. 

Okay, I was able to get through some of the requests I had piling up. I still have more to get through (AvPD, depression, social anxiety, ADHD, and the Harley Quinn fictionkin), but it’ll take some time to get to those. I just had some free that I spent making flags so you all aren’t so disappointed! 

Pansexual Grey-Ace Pride Flag

Greysexual: sometimes having sexual attraction and/or feelings, but usually not.

Hi! I really like the concept behind apoleiasexuality and I’m glad many people will be represented, but is there a way you could change the name? I feel like it appropriates Greek culture and reduces it to just the language. The internet is so american centric and people only care about Europe when they wanna talk about “exotic stuff”. Sorry if I sounded rude 😣😖

Anyone can submit an alternative name for any of the terms I’ve posted if they want. So if you can come up with something, I can change it! 🙂

why do you have an autistic pride flag on here, when this is supposed to be a blog for gender/sexuality flags? i understand that you’re trying to promote autistic pride, but as an autistic person myself i think it’s out of place on here, i don’t consider it something you can “identify” with

This blog is for more than just orientations and genders (hence the name). I didn’t just make it out of the blue, many of the flags here are those that are requested by other people. It may seem out of place here, but that’s because it’s the first one of it’s kind that was requested. I have many of requests for pride flags related to neurodiversity that I will get to once I have more time.

Is there any sexuality in which you are not attracted yo anyone on the masculine end of the gender spectrum? Or a sexuality in which sex just doesn’t really interest you but you are okay with both gibing and receiving it?

For your first question: Nominsexual

Nominsexual: Attraction to people who aren’t masculine identifying. MIN stands for masculine in nature. 

As for your second question, I don’t know of any orientations, but there are some other terms that may fit that are related. 

Nonlibidoist:  a person who does not have a sex drive, and hence does not experience sexual urges or desires

Sex-Neutral: an adjective used to describe having feelings towards sex that are neither positive nor negative.

Hello! Small question: when will the flags be done?

I’m really sorry, I’ll try to get to them as soon as I can. As I said, I have two exams and a project going on this coming week, and I have a lot of requests piled up. So it may take me awhile to get to all of them, but if I said I’ll make it then I promise I will get to it eventually.

Penthosexual – a sexual orientation defined by being affected by grief.

—————————————————————————————————-

Edit: Made a new flag for it.

Edit again: Changed the name and definition.

A Couple Things

Due to the recent random uptick in activity, I have updated the FAQ again.

I also have two exams and a project all going on this next week, so it might be awhile before I get to some of the requests, but I should be able to get back to it once this coming week is finished. So if I said I would make a flag for you, I promise I’ll get to it then!

lowkey wanna see the first autism pride flag draft

Oh no you do not! xD It was a much more complex pattern that took me longer to make and I still just scrapped it without saving, waaaay too much going on. Be thankful you did not have to lay your eyes upon it. @__@

Help us make the feature of The Beginnings of My Heart!

Hey guys! I just wanted to let you all know about this project that @bomhproject has asked me to tell you about. They’re looking to fund this film in hopes of developing the series into a feature film, and the deadline is February 18th!

It’s a story written and directed by Native storyteller, Gabriel Mozart Steven Abeyta, and will star indigenous LGBTQ female leads. You can check out this link if you would like to learn more.

Please donate if this sounds like something you’re interested in! Diversity in film is something we definitely need more of.

Hey, a while ago you had a post about proquu- & proquasexual, and i was wondering how are they different from min- and finsexual? Thanks!

Sure thing! So let’s take a look at the definitions (I’ll compare proqua- and fin- for this example, although proquu- and min- could be compared the same way except related to attraction to masuline nb/men).

Proqua-: a feminine person who is only attracted to other feminine people

Fin-: feeling attraction to feminine identifying people

So both terms are typically used by nonbinary people. While proqua- would only be for use by feminine-identifying nb people or women, fin- just means attraction to feminine people and can be used by a nb person of any sort. So an agender person that’s not aligned with any binary gender that is attracted to women could consider themselves fin-, but not proqua-.

Hope that helps!

Virboy Pride Flags

Virboy: a gender identity that is practically and particularly genderless, but what is there can be described as boy/man. This usually happens when it is too stressful or difficult to have a gender.

Virgirl Pride Flags

Virgirl: a gender identity that is practically and particularly genderless, but what is there can be described as girl/woman. This usually happens when it is too stressful or difficult to have a gender.

Omg, omg, omg, I’ve wanted specific neurodivergent flags for so long! I am super excite. That said, I have a lot… In order of what I want most: avoidant personality disorder, persistent depressive disorder, social anxiety disorder/social phobia, anorexia nervosa, alcohol use disorder, body-focused repetitive behaviors. Like I said, I’ve got a lot going on and fully expect this to take quite some time to get around to.

Oh wow, yes that is quite the tall order. xD That’s cool, though. It’ll take some time, but I’ll definitely do my best to get it all done eventually! I’m glad you are super excite. 🙂 If you have any ideas on maybe what you’d like some of the flags to look like, that’d help the process along!

I know there are awareness ribbons associated with some of these. Green with mood disorders, teal with anxiety, periwinkle with eating disorders, red with anorexia, red also with alcohol and drug abuse, and there’s a green with blue outline ribbon for BFRBs. Yay, so excite!

Sounds good! I’ll get started on those as soon as I’m finished with those further up on teh list. 🙂

What is the “mad pride” flag?

So apparently mad pride is described as a mass movement of the users of mental health services, former users, and their allies. Mad Pride activists seek to reclaim terms such as "mad", “nutter”, and “psycho” from misuse, such as in tabloid newspapers.

There are actually quite a few pride flags that I can see. I’m not sure if there’s an “official” one, so if anyone knows which one that would be if there is one, please tell me!

So yeah, there are apparently A LOT. 

Hi it’s the anon you suggested cassexual and apathsexual to. Those aren’t exactly what I mean. Like, I feel sexual attraction but I’m apathetic towards sex. Like I don’t care if I never receive sexual actions, but I don’t care to give them either.

Ooooh okay, I see what you mean. There are a couple terms I know of that may fit.

Nonlibidoist:  a person who does not have a sex drive, and hence does not experience sexual urges or desires

Sex-Neutral: an adjective used to describe having feelings towards sex that are neither positive nor negative. 

Yeah that’s what I meant the adei- flags!

Dear anon,

You are a very cool and awesome anon. Some may even describe you as “groovy”, “far out”, and “the bees knees”.

However

You are confusing my brain.

This is definition of adei-:

As you can see, it has nothing to do with alloda- or kin-. It has absolutely nothing to do at all with otherkin, in fact.

So I am confuse.

The flags are pretty neat, though.

Signed,

The coolest mod of Beyond-MOGAI-Pride-Flags, Fy

Cause I’m the only one.

P.S. You are still awesome and stuff

ah sorry i got the name of it wrong. i think it was allodasexual or something the pride flag was blue with a flower in the middle and it was on pridearchive

Hey, not a problem! I actually did mention that alloda- and kin- have been used in the same way in that they can be paired with another orientation (ex: bialloda- or bikin-), but that with kin it can also be specified on what kind of kin (ex: eaglekin-).

And I’m sorry if I’m just mistaken, but I don’t see on alloda- on there either. Do you mean these flags?

Cause it looks like those are for adeisexual/adeiromantic.

(Names redacted for privacy)

I’m glad you like blog, however I don’t feel comfortable with the idea that my flag blog is better than others. I just do my own thing, and they do their own thing. But if you happen to enjoy my blog and find it helpful, that’s great! I certainly try my best to be as open as I can be. 🙂

Is there a term for someone who feels sexual attraction but is apathetic towards it?Like “I’d rather not but instead I prefer a turkey sandwich and video games or something”?I saw this fall under grey-ace as one definition & I don’t mean lithosexual

I’ve heard the term apasexual or apathsexual used for apathy towards sexual attraction.

Another option is Cassexual, which is feeling utterly indifferent to your orientation, as though it does not matter or is not a significant part of your identity.

I don’t know of any flags for apasexual/apathsexual, but this is the cassexual flag.

i just wanted to say that although I personally disagree with some, though not all, of the stuff you’re doing here and I think you should probably be a little more selective in what you make flags for because some of it is kind of offensive, you don’t deserve death threats and you’re probably a cool person in real life so yeah rock on

lol You may be right. I don’t just accept anything sent to me, however. You may be surprised, but I think I actually delete most requests sent to me. 

Regardless, I appreciate the message, thank you very much. 🙂

Is there a term for when your orientation is different for fictional characters than irl people? I’ve never been (romantically) attracted to a real male/masculine person but I have been attracted to quite a few fictional ones.

I don’t think there is one? Typically orientations revolving around attraction to fictional characters are for those who are aro and/or ace and are only attracted to fictional characters, so as to differentiate themselves from ace and/or aro people who are not.

If you’re only attracted to fictional people of a certain gender(s), then you might just not be attracted to that gender(s) in that way.

Either way, at the current moment, I cannot seem to find a term that would fit that, sorry.

Thanks for all your work, I’ve learned so much and it makes me realize that I will always keep learning not just about genders and orientations, but about everything. I cannot imagine how hard your work is and how to cope with some people, but thank you for doing it anyway. It means a lot to many. Thank you.

Thank you, anon. 🙂 We’re all learning, really! And I mean…it’s not that bad, really. It can sometimes be a lot of emotional work dealing with mostly hate mail, but hey! It’s always worth it to hear from my followers that actually enjoy my content. So have a high five and a wonderful day!

Proquu and proqua is just ridiculous. There is already words for that: sapphic and achillean.

I’m…not sure if you’re just confused? Proquu- and achillean, as well as proqua- and sapphic, are not the same thing. 

Proquu- is a masculine person (man or non binary) only attracted to other masculine people (both men and non binary), while achillean is a masculine person (man or non binary) who is attracted to men (and/or masculine non binary), but not necessarily exclusively. It’s the same with proqua- and sapphic in relation to women and femininity. 

So someone can be both achillean and proquu-, or they could be enbian and proquu-. And a bi man who is attracted to women couldn’t be proquu-, but is considered achillean. So they’re not the same thing.

bdsmpetplay:

Go learn! Go be educated! (early for asexual awareness week, but gets the point across 🙂 )

Hi! Can you tell me what ‘masculine-leaning’ or ‘feminine-leaning’ nonbinary means? Every definition I can find for it is synonymous with ‘male’ or ‘female.’

So if you can imagine gender as a spectrum, with man and woman being on two different sides (although not the only sides, but just for the purpose of this metaphor), being non binary would be somewhere in the middle or elsewhere. Now, some non binary people are going to be right in the middle, or be nowhere near either of these, but some are going to still be non binary but might be closer to man or closer to woman. 

It’s not a perfect metaphor, I know, but I hope that at least helps by what some people mean when they state that they’re masculine or feminine leaning non binary.

how is proquu/proquasexual different than being gay or a lesbian? i’m genuinely confused

So it can used in two ways (I’ll use proquu- as the example): for one, it can be used to describe masculine-leaning non binary people who are only attracted to men and other masculine-leaning non binary people. It could also be used for men who are only attracted to men and masculine-leaning non binary people. So it can be a useful term for those who feel like gay doesn’t really fit them because the definition typically doesn’t include those who are non binary. This isn’t always the case, of course, it’s just based on personal preference (kind of like the difference between bi, ply, or pan; it just depends on what you prefer to label yourself as). 

Do you have a flag for anyone who only experiences sexual attraction while creating art/or towards art they’ve created??? It seems weird but I saw one flag for only feeling attraction while looking at pornographic art or movies… I know aphobes have sarcastically coined “graphisexual” but maybe we could reclaim it😂😂

If you want to reclaim it, you should go for it. 🙂 It sounds like that could fall under Limno-, but it could also be a subtype of Ficto-/Fan-. I know there’s something like that for attraction towards written characters (Liter- or Literary-). I don’t think there’s flag for it though. You can look through the list here to see if there’s anything that fits, but you can definitely reclaim the term instead if you feel like that would fit you more. 

(If the creator of the list would like to be credited, they can ask me to, as I don’t want to put names out there so they’re not harassed. It’s just the one I’ve seen linked to most often on other similar blogs.)

So first off, thank you. You’ve run this blog with an admirable amount tact and genuine enthusiasm. To be honest I find this blog very bizarre but despite my opinion please keep up the good work. I’ve been following for a pretty long time now and while that started as a source for jokes, I realized that as crazy as some of this may sound to me, if just one person finds strength and comfort in “figuring it out” through the identities shared on the blog, then I think it will have been worth it.

Thank you so much, I’m glad you think so. 😀 I definitely think it’s worth it, as well.

And honestly I’m totally okay with being called bizarre, I have been called much worse by now haha.

Thanks for the message!

what’s it called when you have sex yourself but imagining other people having sex doesn’t make sense??? like i just can’t envision it at all i feel like im the only person who makes sense having sex??? queer can be so confusing :x

I know, it can certainly be confusing, but it’s totally okay not to know exactly everything about yourself right away. 🙂 As for your question, I honestly couldn’t find anything. It sounds like it’d be the opposite of autochorissexual/aegosexual, right? If anyone does know of a term that fits this, I do ask that you tell me. Otherwise, you can definitely coin one for yourself!

💙I’m going to break something down for y’all💜

lgbtrainbowdolls:

bdsmpetplay:

“Sexual attraction”
What is this? We honestly have no fucking idea. Even the experts in this field (sexologists) can’t agree on a concrete definition. Go on any official learning website, and the definition is also going to vary slightly from site to site.

With this is mind, how the fuck do you expect teen and young adults to figure themselves out? Seriously, you ask 20 different people, “what is sexual attraction?”, you are going to get 20 different answers.

We say all the time “this term means who you are/aren’t sexually attracted to”, suddenly expecting people to know what “sexual attraction” means.

The world doesn’t work like that. This is why LGBT+ terminology is always changing. Will terms be discarded as we learn more? You bet.

I fucking cringe when I see someone try to educate others about a rare and/or new term in the LGBT+ community and half the notes are “LOL DIS SO FAKE” or “THE OP SHOULD DIE” (and all in between) on Tumblr. If you write this, you’re a fucking asshole. You’re gatekeeping and identity policing, which is total bullshit and a jerkass thing to do.

A good friend of mine got bullied off of Tumblr because they tried to educate others about the LGBT+ community. So fuck you haters.

@beyond-mogai-pride-flags you might like this 😊

Thank you, it was very nice of you to think of me 😀

It’s definitely a trip whenever people involved in The Discourse™ pass any of my posts around. I thought I knew what I was getting into as I started this blog only after PFFU stopped being a pride flag resource and I knew the sort of comments they would get. But it’s honestly a lot of emotional work, my heart really goes out to them.

And yeeeah the threats of physical violence are just…really bizarre. Thankfully I have yet to actually be punched in the teeth, though, so  ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hello, can I ask if there’s a flag for people sexuality attracted to both male and masculine presenting people? Like, I can’t find out what it’s called if there is, ’cause I don’t wanna call myself gay/homo if it isn’t the right term for me,,,

Hey that’s okay. 🙂 There’s also Proquu-, which describes a masculine person who feels only attraction to masculine/male people. Or you could also call yourself Achillean (although I think the term itself is up for dispute, not sure if there is any consensus). It means to be a male-aligned person liking another male-aligned person, whether exclusively or not. 

Okay, I think I’ve gotten through most of the requests that were building up. If I haven’t gotten to yours yet and I said that I would, I’ll probably get to it by this next weekend.

Also, please note that if you think of an alternative name or alternative flag for something I’ve already posted here, you’re welcome to submit it!

Demipanplatonic Pride Flag

Demi-: An a-spectrum orientation where one does not experience attraction to a person until they have developed an emotional connection to them. There is no guarantee that this attraction will develop after an emotional connection is formed, but it is required in order for attraction to be possible.

Aplatonic: Not feeling platonic attraction. The term was originally created in the aromantic community, as well as by trauma survivors and neurogivergent folks to describe their experiences. Platonic attraction exists on a spectrum, just like there’s a spectrum for sexual and romantic attractions.

Pan-: Attraction to all genders, or regardless of gender

Dissociate- Pride Flags

Dissociate-: someone who dissociates regularly while engaging in sexual/romantic/etc. activity, often leaving the individual confused as to what their orientation is

do you do otherkin flags for specific characters?

Uh yes, in theory. I haven’t made any yet, and at the current moment I’m not making any for any kintypes that are tied to some meme (sorry if that’s you, btw, I’m just not comfortable making any like that at this time; subject to change).

Wait, how does m-spec work? How is it a spectrum? (Sorry I’m new to this)

Hey it’s no problem. 🙂 So just like gender, orientations are also on a spectrum. So if you’re m-spec, you could be anywhere on there. You could be attracted to two genders, three, ten, or infinity! And you could be attracted to any number of different genders, with different intensities to each one. So it’s not just one set thing as the general population thinks of (only attracted to both men and women), there’s a whole spectrum you could land on. Hope that helps. 🙂

Could it be possible to do a qirl/boi flag?

I might be wrong, but I think there’s already a boi flag? Of course it’s always fine to have more than one if you don’t like the current one (or if I’m totally wrong and there isn’t one to begin with!)

Seeing as I’m not black, I don’t think it’d be right for me to come up with the design, but if you want to shoot me some ideas (that I can do), then I can certainly make something if you’d like. 🙂

what does -alterous mean? i’ve heard of sexual, romantic, sensual, and platonic, but what’s alterous..??

The Aromantic Wiki describes it as: Alterous is described as neither being (entirely/completely) platonic nor romantic, & is an attraction best described as wanting emotional closeness without necessarily being (at all or entirely) platonic &/or romantic, & is used in the place of -romantic or -platonic (so say bi-alterous instead of bi-romantic).

I’ve also hear it having been described as being somewhere inbetween platonic and romantic attraction.

As I don’t label myself as having alterous attraction at the current time, any input from those who do who want to jump in are certainly welcome to. 🙂

why is -romantic part of ur concept of mogai? nobody’s really oppressed for who they’re friends with beyond teasing from peers maybe. could you explain? (not trying to be rude if that’s how my tone comes off i just…. don’t get it)

I assume you meant -platonic and/or -queerplatonic. I’ll do my best to try and answer your question, but please keep in mind that at the current moment I don’t identify as aro-spec (who primarily use the term), nor do I currently label myself as any -platonic or -queerplatonic orientation. While it’s possible this may change, this just means that at this time I am not the best person to ask. However, I will do my best to answer and if anyone who labels their -platonic or -queerplatonic  orientation wants to jump in and correct me on anything, please feel free to do so!

So anyways, in terms of the LGBTQIA+/MOGAI community, the use of “platonic” is not usually used in the “just friends” sense. It usually means those the person could be in a QPR (queerplatonic relationship) with.  A queerplatonic relationship is a relationship that is not romantic but involves a close emotional connection (platonic) beyond what most people consider friendship. The commitment level in a queerplatonic relationship is often considered to be similar to that of a romantic relationship. So you might get married to your QPP (queerplatonic partner), share a house/life together, everything a “”normal”” couple would do just without sex and/or romance (I think usually without romance as it’s primarily, but not exclusively, used by aro-specs).

Now, it was actually only very very recently (as far as I’ve seen, I could be wrong) that some people have started to identify themselves as -queerplatonic as it’s own orientation to distinguish it from “”regular”” platonic attraction. However, there doesn’t seem to be any consensus on this and many people still use -platonic because they say it’s still, well, platonic in nature, regardless of what people say (ex: oh, so you’re just “best friends”). So while to some people, being panplatonic means “being friends with people of any gender”, it’s usually used in the context of “can be in a platonic QPR relationship with any gender”, but some people do use panqueerplatonic to distinguish that. It really just depends on the person and context.

So my inbox isn’t really working today (my internet has been screwing up in general), so I just took shots of the two messages in my inbox.

You are genuinely one of the nicest people on this website. You are always so kind and accommodating and willing to make flags and it’s just so nice to watch.

This is such a sweet message, thank you so much! I certainly try my best to  be as accommodating as possible while maintaining this blog and it’s purpose. I know most of my followers are probably hate followers at this point, but I keep going because of you all who actually enjoy my blog and it’s content (despite how amateurish it may be!). You’re amazing, thank you. :))

It’s cool, thanks for stopping by. 🙂

Hello. I am the anon who sent the ask that you answered with things such as femmesexual and sapphic. I just want to say that I’m sorry if that ask offended you. I’m still learning about the LGBTQ+ community and am not quite sure how to word things sometimes. I hope you’re doing well, and I want you to know that you don’t deserve all the hate that you get. And thank you for the advice, it was very helpful :)

Nah, I got the feeling you just didn’t know. It’s not that uncommon to word things like that when you haven’t really learned much yet about trans/non-binary people. No offense taken, I apologize if I came off angry! I just try and be informative so you know in the long run. And thank you for your kind words, nice messages always brighten my day up. 🙂 You’re very welcome, glad to help.

what does m-spec mean?

beyond-mogai-pride-flags:

Multisexual spectrum. So anyone that’s attracted to more than one gender (bisexual, trisexual, polysexual, pansexual, etc.) falls under this spectrum.

image

Ah, that’s very true. I wasn’t sure what it was called regarding both sexual and romantic attraction, I just heard “multisexual spectrum”, but you have a very good point. It’s not just for sexual attraction, so multi-attracted definitely sounds like a much better term, thank you. 🙂

what does m-spec mean?

Multisexual spectrum. So anyone that’s attracted to more than one gender (bisexual, trisexual, polysexual, pansexual, etc.) falls under this spectrum.

are there flags for elemental connections? like kintypes i suppose, but feeling more like you are drawn to a specific element (fire, air, water, earth) emotionally and that it embodies a part of you

A kintype is something you ARE, so if you are, say, firekin, then you ARE fire. If it’s something you feel a connection to, then you would be firehearted, or fire would be your synpath. Although it’s possible to be both (I think, I haven’t seen many talk about it).

Either way, I haven’t made any flags for elemental otherkin or otherhearted, but I certainly can make some if you’d like. 🙂

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone 🙂

I hope you all had a good holiday as well.

Hopefully this next year won’t be as much of a shitstorm.

Good riddance, 2016.

Propeestromantic Pride Flag

Propeestromantic: An aro-spec identity which feels like a mix of many (any more than two aro identities) that all are a part of your identity; from the latin word “prope est”, which means “close to”.

(Flag designer wishes to be acknowledged, but anonymous)

Propeestsexual Pride Flag

Propeestsexual: An ace-spec identity which feels like a mix of many (any more than two ace identities) that all are a part of your identity; from the latin word “prope est”, which means “close to”.

(Flag designer wishes to be acknowledged, but anonymous)

Do you happen to have a flag that fits this? I’m not sure if it would just be counted as gay or not: I am a girl who likes girls. But I would be comfortable dating a nonbinary, or maybe even genderfluid person, as long as they are in a female body.

lgbtrainbowdolls:

beyond-mogai-pride-flags:

This is actually quite a tricky question, for a number of reasons.

To start with, saying that a NB is “in a binary gender body” can be rather insulting, as if to imply we are not really NB. Our bodies are non-binary because WE are non-binary, not just our presentation. 

However, no one can tell you what to identify as. So if you feel the label gay or lesbian works for you, then no one else can tell you not to. I’ve dated people who have identified as gay and some people who identified as straight, despite knowing that I am not the same or “opposite” gender as them. For me, it didn’t bother me as much as long as they respected my pronouns, name, my identity overall, etc. But it’s not the same for every NB person.

Which brings me to another point, which is that some non-binary people will want to transition, even partially. There’s this idea that non-binary people are under the trans umbrella, but won’t want to transition since they are neither trans men nor trans women. This obviously isn’t the case, though, and if you were to date a feminine-presenting NB person, they might want to transition and that may pose a problem to the relationship.

So, as I said, it’s up to you what you identify as. If you want to say you’re a gay girl/lesbian who is open to dating feminine-presenting NB people, then that’s what you are. Some will label themselves as being under the multisexual umbrella (bi, tri, ply, anything other than pan), although there is the unfortunate problem that when people hear such labels they might think “also attracted to men”, which obviously isn’t always the case. If you don’t like either of those options, I think Femme- or Proqua- can be used for any feminine-identifying person who are only attracted to other feminine-identifying people, regardless of gender.

So yeah, long answer, but like I said it’s kind of a tricky subject. If anyone wants to chime in and add something or correct me on something, you’re very welcome to. This is only an answer from my perspective as a non-binary individual.

Sapphic might be the closest thing you are looking for.

Thank you, I knew I forgot something. Yes, you could use the term sapphic as well.

Ecosexual: an environmentally conscious person whose adherence to green living extends to their sexual life

is there an identity/flag for experiencing more attraction than usual around holidays (christmas, easter, etc)? sorry to bother you, thanks so much! <3

Sounds like that would fall under Aliqua-: Experiencing attraction only under certain circumstances. 

Some other options could be:

Chrono-: a pattern of sexual fluidity and/or fluxing that is based on the time of the year

Feu-: attraction to people depending on the weather: only feeling attraction when it is warm. Comes from the word ‘feu’, French for fire.

Glaro-: attraction to people depending on the weather: only feeling attraction when it is cold. Comes from the word ‘Glace’, French for ice.

Hea-: an all-encompassing term for both glarosexual and feusexual. Attraction to people depending on the weather and temperature. Comes from the word ‘Heavens’, the sky above.

I could not find any flags for any of these terms, though, so if you think one or more of these fit you better, shoot me a message if you’d like me to make some.

Chaeinsexual Pride Flag

Chaeinsexual: sexual attraction to those whose kintype either hunts or is hunted by yours, i.e. fawnkin being drawn to wolfkin. This is not to be confused with abusive dynamics, rather, it draws from the natural ties of death and rebirth in the wild, but between two kin represents a simple form of mutual protection and reliability.

aye that venn diagram suggests you need to be in a romantic relationship for sex to be involved :/

Does it? I thought it was saying sex could be part of both romantic and queerplatonic relationships. I apologize if that is incorrect, you most definitely do not need to have a romantic relationship to do so, anyone of any relationship status can have sex if they so choose to. I can edit that in so no one gets the wrong idea.

Edit: On second thought, I’ll probably just take it out. I just found it while looking for useful images related to being in a QP relationship, and I’d rather not confuse anyone.
