Photo ID: Two nearly identical pride flags with evenly sized horizontal stripes. The colors from top stripe to bottom stripe are dark indigo, dark purple, dark pink, thulian pink, and dark red. The first flag also has an additional white double crescent moon symbol.
This is the Bessiean butch flag, a flag for black bisexual butch sapphics. Bessiean as a term is inspired by the late African American jazz singer Bessie Smith, who was a bisexual woman who had numerous relations with both men and women.
This flag is exclusively for those who are black, bisexual, butch, AND sapphic. You can’t be three out of four, you must be all four in order to use this flag. The label itself is only for black bi sapphics. If you don’t like black exclusive labels, that’s not my problem, even if you’re black yourself.

Battle Axe Bisexual, also known as a Band-aid Bisexual is a term for bisexuals who push back against biphobia and uplift and support other bisexuals. This is NOT an exclusionist term, this is using the original definition of battle axe bisexual. A battle axe bisexual acknowledges that multisexual terms other than bisexual exist. They acknowledge that not everybody under the multisexual umbrella is also inherently bisexual. For example, they acknowledge and accept that some omnisexuals may also identify as bisexual and acknowledge and accept that some omnisexuals may only identify as omnisexual.
based on this post, which was made by a radfem but i’m reclaiming it because i believe that we should not limit or define such a beautiful, meaningful, and historical flag to people who are not welcome in our community. the more we use it for our pride, the less it is a symbol of their hate.
of course, if you do not feel comfortable using this flag then you do not have to whatsoever. it is a personal choice and i do not wish to force this on anyone. we should be allowed to use whatever flags we want to express ourselves!
hate will be blocked and/or deleted; thank you for showing respect!
Pir: a misspelling of bi, specially in Brazilian Portuguese. It can be a reclaimed slang term, as it’s seen as a shorthand of piranha/piriguete or biscate (slutty/thot/hooker/bitch/hoe). Alts: pi, pyr.
Cisgender Bisexual Pride Flag
ALT
Cisgender or cismodal: a gender modality that describes someone experiencing the gender they were assigned at birth.
Bi-: identity that encompasses experiencing attraction between two genders and all genders, with or without gender preferences.
Since I made cisdian and cisbian flags, I felt the need of this one today. This is inclusive of AGAB nonconforming (ANC) people, and multimodal people (those with multiple gender modalities).
See also: cisqueer.
Bi Travesti Pride Flag
ALT
Bi-: orientation that encompasses the attraction between two and all genders; umbrella term for anyone attracted to more than one gender; a standalone label for attraction to multiple genders.
Travesti: culturally specific identity associated with transness in Latin America, typically used by those who were assigned male at birth experiencing femininity in gender.
[PT: Bisexual Anfisian, a person who is bisexual [attracted to men, women & other identities] & anfisian [MLM, WLW, MLW and WLM] at the same time.]
Femarsic Pride Flag
ALT
Femarsic, femmarsic, femmascic, masfemaric, femasric, or mascfemaric: an umbrella term for those attracted to men and women; being both mascic and femaric (either fluidly or simultaneously).
This includes those who are, for example: ambisexual/ambiromantic, abrosexual/abroromantic or otherwise m-spec; womasexual maromantic or masexual womaromantic; centriorientation and multiorientation of gyne- and andro-.
Merrascic: an umbrella term for those who are not attracted to men anymore; a label in which one’s mascic attraction has partially or fully vanished.
Examples: errasexual or asexual folk who once was attracted to boys; taken/monofidelitous pluralians (i.e. bi/pan, ply/omni, tri) partnered with non-men; a straight guy/darcian who used to be attracted to guys, but realized he is het after all; a lesbian who has gone through comphet; an enbian/cenelian, enboric/teramoric or feminamoric/trixamoric folk who used to be pan; an abrosexual or sexually fluid folk; or otherwise nomascic person who once experienced attraction to men.
Midterm Pride Flag
ALT
Midterm (slang): someone halfway between stages, phases, or states of sexuality, orientation, gender, presentation, identity or sex.
In Brazil, it’s very common to use “meio-termo” referring to pluralians (bi/pan/ply/omni/tri/multi), cuspers/evenics (of any kind), transitioners and androgynous people, serial monogamists (and some non-monoamorous people) whose gender of partners varies (multipartnering), GNC/PNC, acespec/arospec, multigender/agender or otherwise non-binary people, and many others.
Therefore it can be a reclaimed term.
BWWABF Pride Flag
ALT

These flags can be useful for gayhets plus homoflexible and heteroflexible people. However, it can be used for queerhets, monosexual gays, and sexless acespecs as well. These may be seen as outdated within bisexual activist community nowadays. Also some problematize the author, but the descriptions are neutral in nature.
Ambisextrous Pride Flag
Ambisextrous (noun: ambisextry, ambisexterity or ambisextrousness): a slang for bisexual/biromantic/bi and epicene/androgynous individuals, derived from ambidextrous.

because some people seem to think otherwise.
(i tried to find as many labels as i could, feel free to let me know of any i missed. some labels included aren’t inherently mspec, but are ones mspec people can use. and yes, i know “unlabeled” isn’t a label, but i wanted to include unlabeled mspec folks because they get hate, too.)

This flag is created for bi women/woman-aligned people who are more strongly attracted to women. Historically, the term lesbian has included bi, pan, or other m-spec women.

ABisexual Lesbian (or Bi-Lesbian for short) is someone who is both bisexual and a lesbian. This term can be used by women who use the split attraction model and are bisexual and homoromantic (lesbian) or someone who experiences lesbian tertiary attraction.
They have sexual attraction to two or more genders but are only
romantically attracted to women. They may find themselves sexually
attracted to men, but could never picture themselves in a relationship
with one, putting more emphasis on their attraction to women, though
this varies from person to person. It can also be used by people who
identify as both bisexual and lesbian, either due to changing
attraction, or due being part of plural system. Additionally, the term
can apply to women and other non-men who are bisexual and prioritize
their attraction to women/non-men or have a strong preference for
women/non-men, or for people who are reclaiming the historical
definition of lesbian alongside identifying as bisexual.
This can also be switched around for biromantics!
History of Bi Lesbianism
Origin:
The
label “bi lesbian” originated in the 1970s as a result of the effects
of lesbian separatism, a belief within some strains of lesbian feminism
and often within radical feminism which advocates for separating women
from men in as many ways as possible as a strategy to achieve women’s
liberation.[1]
Subsequently, this lead to lesbian separatists rejecting and often
discriminating against women who refused to withdraw from their
involvment with men, particularly bisexual women. Lesbian separatists
accused bisexual women of “sleeping with the enemy” and forcefully
removed them from lesbian spaces and from claiming the lesbian identity
for themselves, by redefining it as “a homosexual female/woman” or “a
woman who does not sleep with men/is not attracted to men”. It is
because of lesbian separatism that the bisexual label became very
popular starting in the 1970s, as the word to describe a woman who was
attracted to other women before was “lesbian”, whether they were
attracted exclusively or not, and now that had suddenly changed.
Examples of Use
Lavender Woman, Volume 2, Issue 5, August 1973: “What is a Lesbian? To me, a lesbian is a woman-oriented woman; bisexuals can be lesbians…”[2]
Lani Kaahumanu, “Bisexuality & Discrimination”, BBWM Vol. 3, No. 6, Dec 1985-Jan 1986:
“…my lesbian awareness isn’t lost now that I claim my bisexuality
[…] My political consciousness is lesbian but my lifestyle is
bisexual…”[3]
Robyn Ochs, “Bi of the Month: Betty Aubut”, Bi Women Vol. 5, No. 2, April-May 1987:
“I call myself a “bisexual lesbian.” I will always politically identify
as bisexual, which to me means opposing restrictive categories […] I
consider myself gay. I think bisexuals are gay and gay liberation is our liberation…”[4]
Amy Wyeth, “Don’t Assume Anything”, Bi Women Vol. 13, No. 4, Aug-Sep 1995:
“Unfortunately, many of my experiences as a lesbian-identified bisexual
woman have said to me that having an appearance or demeanor that
diverges from the expected means I will not be accepted as truly
belonging in the lesbian community.”[5]

I designed the bi/gay vincian flag (under the cut). I used vician meaning gay man (magnian, floric, veldian/turian), but its own word to include gai/gay nlm/torians. -Ap
Uranodionian (uranodioning): the bisexual gender; a sexually ambiguous person; bisexous; ambivalent oriented/mixed orientation-gender; experiencing heterosexual and homosexual attractions; being uranian and dionian; both variant & conformant; an equaric duaric; a contraic/enanteic symmaic; straight gay. Encompassing bi women (uranodioningin) and men (uranodioningtum).
Uranian: a comprehensive term for LGBT+/queer people used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. An English translation of the German word Urning. It’s often conceptualized as the “homosexual gender”, a “third gender” and a descriptor for gay men (urningthum) and lesbians (urningin/uranierin/urnin/urnigin), as opposed to dionian (dioning), meaning “heterosexual gender”, feminine/straight woman (dioningin) and masculine/straight man (dioningthum), stemming from the idea common in early sexology that a gay man has a partly female psyche, and a lesbian has a partially male soul.
Uranismus (uranism) has a taxonomy with: uranodioning (uranodionian), representing bisexuals, uranodioningin (bi women) and uranodioningthum (bi men); zwitter, intersex people; and others, making categories encompassing modern concepts of cross-orientation/parosexuality (conjunctive/disjunctive) and non-binarity/intermediate (zwischen).
They were all coined by Karl Ulrichs, which can be considered the modern father of MOGAI pioneering/queerstory. -Ap
Representing transbians reclaiming the bihet slur. Combining my bi trans lesbian flag with a het flag, resembling my lesbihet flag. Could be called (trans)bihetbian, translesbihet and (bi)transhetbian (transhet lunian). It could also represent a (bi-trans)str8bian.

Bihet Transbian Pride Flag
Representing transbians reclaiming the bihet slur. Combining my bi trans lesbian flag with a het flag, resembling my lesbihet flag. Could be called (trans)bihetbian (transbihetbian), translesbihet and (bi)transhetbian (transhet lunian/bitranshetbian). It could also represent a (bi-trans)str8bian.
This flag represents sexual ambiguity, standing for ambiguities in affection, attraction, relation(ship) and any other identification that is not essentially about gender/sex binomial.
Could represent ambivalent states of being both and/or neither variant (n)or conformant, beyond those things. Similar to terms like ambident, bisexous and paradent/parident/parant/pariant terms, referring to a paradoxical stances in identities.
Sexually ambiguous individuals were historically associated with bisexuality, before asexual and ambisexual becoming separated things. So that both A & B in LGBTQA+ acronym variations included these individuals.
Lesbigay man: a bisexual combination of two factors: gay man and lesbian (woman); or a lesbian who is both gay and bi, she may be gay for men; being gay and bi for both men and women; a gaybian man that is bi-; someone who is bi, vincian and sapphic (mlm and wlw).
Combining my mono- lesbian flag with gay man flag. [ID: 6 stripes of dark brown-ish orange, pink, purple, violet/lavender, cyan and dark turquoise. End ID.] – Ap

Same-gender loving (SGL): A term coined by Dr. Cleo Manago to describe African-Americans with same-gender attractions.
Same-gender loving has been used to redefine the terms gay, lesbian, and bisexual. In doing this, Manago challenges the assumed link between sexual minority identities and the stereotypes that accompany them.
The brown stripes represent the Black/African-American community. The spectrum of red through blue represents the spectrum of femininity and masculinity in SGL people, with the purple, white, and yellow representing neutral and GNC presentation.
Bottom row: ply gay, omni gay (not to be confused with omnigay/omnique)
Finally getting back into the swing of things! The colours here don’t have any particular meanings, I just combined the colours from existing flags and adjusted from there ^_^; I like how they came out though!
Basing in my bihet flags, I combined them with the lesbi- (bi lesbian)flag. It could mean solidarity between bi lesbians and those who identifies as bihets or even an identity for being both things. I hope @bi-lesbian don’t mind. ~ Mod. A.P
[image: a 10 striped flag with gradients of the bi flag’s purple and two stripes in the middle identical to each other. end ID]
Bi-spec (bi-spectrality or bi- spectrum): similar to multispec, many folks use bi as a spectrum for themselves, specially alluding the resignified/redefined meaning of it &/or its polysemies (varying definitions/descriptions). Many flex(i)-/-flexible people might be bi-spectrals while not intrinsically “bi”, within their intrapersonhood, for example.
[id: 6 stripes colored with yellow, while, pale pink, hot pink, dark magenta and dark blue]
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.
Duo- Having two or more well defined orientations that you switch between.
Gaypan-/Pangay- when someone is pan- men but their attraction leans towards the same gender; (switching) between pan- and gay; being gay and pan-, as if all of their definitions fit you or you’re a mix of both.

Similar to “gay man” concept, a lot of women describe themselves as gay, some because they are wlw but not sure if they are lesbians or not, some simply because they are not straight and other because they aren’t attracted to men while not essentially attracted to other women.
Biheter(o)-/Bihetr(o)-/Hetrobi-/Heterobi-: being bi- and heter(o)- in the same form of orientation (ie. bisexual & heterosexual); <fluctuating> between hetro- and bi-; hetero-leaning bi, could be biflexible &/or hetroflexible/ela-/straightflexible.

Hi! I’ve been confused about my sexuality lately and I wanted to know if you could help me figure it out. I’m attracted to both men and women (with a preferance for men).
—–
You could use Bi-, Ambi-, Multi-, Poly-, or some other m-spec identity.
Or you could use a term similar to Sapphic, such as Rochilic (mlw and mlm) if you’re a guy, Scapolitian (nblm and nblw) if you’re nonbinary, or Salietian (wlm and wlw) if you’re a girl.
I wanted to make a redesign/alternate version of the Aspec Mspec flag the lovely Arokai made, since I wasn’t a big fan of the colours.
This flag is for people who are both Aspec (Ace/Aro Spectrum), and Mspec (Multi-spec, ie: Bi, Pan, Poly), or, people who are Aspec showing support for Mspec and vice versa!
Colour Symbolism?
Each colour is for the five most common identities! I picked ones that where close to the one on the flag and fitted together nicely. (I made Aro yellow because,,, yellow looks nice,,)
Butchness: describing an unfeminine identity or a gender expression linked to unfemininity, a slang commonly adopted by GNC women and LGBTQIA people.
Seems that this flag is regardless of orientation, although this word is historically associated with lesbianity (before bisexuality and homosexuality became separated), a straight woman could be butch depending the definition.
Bisexuous or Bisextrous: an umbrella term for NOT being gay NOR straight; a non-dual orientation; not homo not hetero.
Historically bisexuality encompassed experiences like that, but since nowadays there’s no specific term for this case, we can rename this as bisexous (bidentrous or biromous). I’d better name it as epixous, epidentrous, episextrous or episexous, but then it’s a new word.
Based on labels from West Iberian: ambisséxuo, ambiséxuo, which are etymological synonyms/hyponyms of epiceno (epicene). Although it seems contradictory since they mean ambiguity, so being exactly both sides, that’s why we don’t use ambi- as in ambisextrous or ambidentrous.
See also: monodissident, non-monosexual, pomo-. – Ap
Hetero-curiosity: attracted primarily to the same gender but showing interest in the other gender(s) different from your own.
Not to be confused with straight curious. ~Ap
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+. Seethesesomesources (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.
I hereby declare that the muti gender attracted community be called the BOP community:
Bi, Omni, Pan/Ply
(even if you don’t personally identify with the mentioned labels, if you’re attracted to 2 or more genders you can still identify as a part of the BOP community, if you want to)
Hey there! So, there aren’t currently any orientations that specific. But there are terms similar to sapphic, achillean, etc for them.
For a woman who is (at least) attracted to men and non-binary people, that is Citrinian.
For a man who is (at least) attracted to woman and non-binary people, that is Litian.
Attraction to two or more genders can also be: Bi- (attraction to two or more genders), Poly- (attraction to many, but not necessarily all, genders), or Multi- (umbrella term for people attracted to multiple genders, but can also be used as an individual label).
There’s also Pluralian, which you can find the definition of here.
Cisn’t (cisgendernot): an umbrella term for anyone who isn’t cisgender; being noncisgender or cisdissident.
Straightn’t (unstraight): an umbrella term for any orientation/folk that is not straight in nature; the quality of being non-straight or heterodissident.

Straightn’t (unstraight): an umbrella term for any orientation/folk that is not straight in nature; the quality of being non-straight or heterodissident.
Bisexual: sexual attraction to two or more genders.
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.
[Image: a 3-striped horizontal flag with stripes in descending order: large red stripe, thin light red-purple stripe, large dark red-purple stripe.]

Bigaytransbianqueer or Lesbigaytransqueer (TLBGQ, BGTLQ or LBGTQ): transbian (transgender lesbian) lesbi (bi- lesbian) gaybian (gay lesbian) bigay (gay-bi) gaytransqueer (queer transgay, queer trans gendergay or trans gaygenderqueer).
So trans, lesbian, bi-, gay and (gender)queer. Rarely someone identify as it all, but it is possible. The flag can be also used by mutual groups as solidarity.
Demi-: an a-spectrum orientation where one does not experience attraction to a person until they have developed an emotional connection to them.
Bisexuality: attraction to two or more genders.
Gender Questioning: process of exploration by people who may be unsure, still exploring, and concerned about applying a gender identity to themselves for any reason.
Bia-: identity between a- and bi-; an aspec bi orientation. Similar to schrö- and grey-, it falls under anattractional spectrum, plura-, mspec and pluralian umbrellas.
To be used as biaro(mantic), biace (biasexual), biapl(atonic), bianalterous, biasthetic (biansthetic, bia-aesthetic), biaqp(latonic) [biaqueerplatonic, biaquirkyplatonic, biaquasiplatonic], biasensual, etc.
I was requested to make an angel bi pride flag after I made a graphic with the vampire bi flag that @kaleidoscopekiller made so here’s a try! I’ll make some positivity graphics with them over at @queerlection later ❤
Light purple for angelic heaven, yellow/gold for halo and purple for love. And you know wings for wings haha.

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
Bi-pan or Pan-bi: identifying as bi- and pan-, as if both terms fit you; amplusic individuals fluctuating between bi and pan identities; a varioriented or otherwise split oriented person with pan- and bi- orientations. Bipan pluralians can also be panflexible / biflexible, leaning towards a specific identity.
Bi-Poly or Ply-Bi: identifying as poly- and bi-, as if both terms fit you; amplusic individuals fluctuating between ply and bi identities; a varioriented or otherwise split oriented person with bi- and poly- orientations. Polybi pluralians can also be biflexible / polyflexible, leaning towards a specific identity.
Bi-Poly-Pan, Pan-Bi-Poly or Poly-Bi-Pan: identifying as poly-, bi- and pan-, as if all of their definitions fit you; amplusic individuals fluctuating between ply, bi and pan identities; a varioriented or otherwise split oriented person with bi-, poly- and pan- orientations. Pan-bi-ply pluralians can also be panflexible, biflexible and/or polyflexible, leaning towards specific identities.
Based on Bi+Pan and Poly+Pan flags. This flag can also stands for bi/ply/pan solidarity, within m-spec and pluralian community. ~ ap
Bisexual: Describes a person who feels sexual attraction to their own gender and other genders, or to a person who feels attraction to two or more genders. This flag variation is for people who are bi but have a stronger attraction, or preference to men or masculine people.
Demigirl: a gender identity that feels partially like a girl/woman, and partially like some other gender.
The blog has beyond in its name, so some of our posts are beyond the MOGAI community, we don’t post MOGAI stuff only.
Also, romeric and julietian identities can have useful meanings academically saying, why wasn’t there a specific word for wlm?! This is also inclusive for nonbinary and varioriented hetero- people whose straightness doesn’t apply to them, turning out that duarics are adherently marginalized. ~ ap
Non-monoattractional: someone who isn’t monoattracted; not feeling attracted strictly to just one gender; not being homo/gay/lesbian, hetero/straight, gyne-, cetero-, andro- or (wo)ma-.
This isn’t the same as pluralian/multi-, since it includes aspec/anattractional people. Also known as monodissidente in West Iberian languages. ~ ap
Elasexual or Heteroflexible is when you have dissimilar gender attraction but RARELY exhibit attraction outside of the different gender; identifying as predominantly hetero-/straight, differo-/penulti-, duaric/ultric or enanteic/contraic but being flexible in this identity. Within the amplusic spectrum and monoflexible umbrella.
This flag was created with the idea of while someone might have other gender attraction majority of the time, that exception can be anyone of same or similar gender (it’s just of all the people YOU HAVE been sexually attracted to, MAJORITY of them have been the opposite/different gender of you). ~ ap
Multisexual Masterlist Terms
I tried looking around for as many terms as possible. This is as of July 2018, so it’s very possible terms have changed since this post. If I missed a specific term, I apologize!
First a definition: multisexual is an umbrella term for people who experience sexual attraction to 2+ gender identities and/or sexes. I am going for terms that expicitly state 2+ gender identities (so something like demisexual would NOT be included on this list BECAUSE it’s a broad definition, not explicitly stating how many gender identities the person is attracted to)
Plurian is an alternative term to multisexual too!
bisexual
polysexual
pansexual
omnisexual
anisosexual/homoflexible (same sex attraction RARE exception)

At least not this specific. Specific neurogender/xenogender orientations are very scarce, feel free to coin one. 🙂 ~ ap
Plurabian or Pluresbian (pluralian lesbian): a lesbian attracted to more than one gender, regardless the form of attraction (aesthetic, platonic, sensual, etc.); a lesbian-leaning pluralian individual, feeling flexible/stronger/easier attraction towards women; an umbrella term for every lesbian on mspec (multi spectrum), such as bi/ply and omni/pan lesbians (attracted at least to women).
I combined both pride flags this way, I hope anon likes it 🙂. I reused and made this:
Pluralian Butch Pride Flag
~ ap
Varioriented, crossoriented,
incongruent
attractions, mixed, split or mismatched orientation: when your sexual and romantic orientations do not target the same set of genders (i.e. aromantic pansexual or biromantic heterosexual).
Pluralian: anyone attracted to more than one gender; an umbrella term for having plural attraction, the “mspec” (multi-spectrum) community; one who celebrates eir multiple-attraction.
Bi curiosity: wishing or considering to experiment sexual or romantic relations with a gender you usually don’t feel attracted to; doubting whether you will continue showing interest or feeling curious attraction to specific gender(s); unsure if bi- or mono-, singularic or pluralian, staying undefined.
See also: presexual, monoflexible (anisosexual, homoflexible, heteroflexible, elasexual), trysexual, pomosexual and questioning. ~ ap
Akoi-/Akoine-/Lith-/Akoin-: Feeling attraction, but having no desire to have interactions or have feelings reciprocated, or a person who feels a particular kind of attraction, which fades if it is reciprocated or if they enter a relationship with the person they are attracted to.
Bisexual: sexual attraction to two or more genders
Homoromantic: romantic attraction to the same or similar genders
Attrafluid or attraflexible (attraction based genders):
Someone whose gender changes depending the gender(s) they feel [alterous, aesthetic, platonic, romantic, sensual and/or sexual] attraction to at the moment.
A combination of multiple or all of the attractional genders (alterousfluid, asthefluid, platofluid, romofluid, sensufluid, sexofluid, etc.).
Note: these genders are intended for pluralians (bi/poly/ply/omni/multi/pan) individuals whose preferences or frequences are fluid but if you feel that your orientation as a whole is fluid then feel free to use them.
Attraflux Pride Flag
Attraflux: Someone whose gender intensity changes depending the gender(s) they feel [alterous, aesthetic, platonic, romantic, sensual or sexual] attraction to at the moment.
Maybe akin to amaregender, amicagender, amorgender/ekogender/filkogender, copygender, erigender, erotogender, gendershift, ludogender, mirrorgender or reflectigender. See also omnigay, omnistraight and novo-.
Bi- Hetero-: flowing between bi and hetero/straight, such as duo-, abro- and -fluid orientations; or when you’re bi but your attraction leans towards the other gender. As in, you have a stronger attraction to the other gender, or become attracted easier to people of the other gender. Can also be someone who is bisexual, biromantic, bialterous or otherwise bi- and hetero- in other form(s) of attraction (i.e. a biaesthetic heterosexual or biplatonic heterosensuals).
See also heteroflexible, biflexible, ultric, duaric pluralian and amplusic heterace.
Anfisian: a man-woman person who loves women and men, or someone who fits all of the following wlw, wlm, mlm and mlw.
The idea is from this list, although it is a man who is woman (fluid or static) they can be considered nblw/nblm too. That’s the male and female sign (⚥, represented by purple) mixing wlw (⚢, first color) and wlm/mlw (⚤, violet and blue) with mlm (⚣, turquoise). From Greek αμφισημία means ambivalence.

Hello Anon!
There are a few terms for your sexual orienation.
Abro ~ An orientation that is constantly changing, never stable.
Bi(sexual)fluid ~ Not exact defintion but when your preference changes over time, (I think)
Merc ~ One can not pinpoint their orientation for it is ever changing
Novo~ An orientation that changes along with one’s gender. For use by individuals with fluid genders. Defining one’s particular shifts in orientation (ie what orientations correspond to the genders one experiences) is an option, but is not required.
There is also Omnigay, which is like novo~ but changes so that you are always attracted to the same gender.
I hope this helps!

Hello Anon!
Your gender coud be genderfluid, or bigender between boy and girl. I would look into different shifting/fluid genders. I can give you some specifcs if you would like.
Your orientations could be different from each other. Or just have a strong preference for one attraction with one gender than the other. Although you didnt say you were soley attracted to one gender, you could identify as womasexual maromantic, or bisexual/romantic, or polysexual/romantic, then say you have a preference. There is also Asco~ (Someone who feels sexual attraction to different genders than the ones they feel romantic attraction.)
Oh okay, so like a relationship between a pansexual man and bisexual woman, for example? That’s actually a really interesting idea, I’m on board.
It should certainly also include, I should think, those who are perhaps not binary but who are in relationships that would be considered “straight” depending on what that person’s gender is (so for example a genderfluid multisexual person who’s gender is female at a particular point in time, and they are dating a multisexual man)
Biflux: When you’re bisexual, but your attractions fluctuate.
Or, if you don’t wish to specific, you could use Sapphic
Sapphic: Referring to women or woman-aligned NB people who are sexually and/or romantically attracted to other women(-aligned) people. Applies to lesbian, pansexual, bisexual, and other women(-aligned) who are sexually/romantically attracted to women(-aligned).
Hope that helps!
It’s not the best quality but I combined the gender fluid and bisexual flag since I’m both. I hope you like it!
That’s okay, I still like it! I love seeing people make flags for their identities, it definitely doesn’t have to be perfect!
Bigender: to have two distinct gender identities, either at the same time, or at different times
Demigirl: a gender identity that feels partially like a girl/woman, and partially like some other gender
Demiboy: a gender identity that feels partially like a boy/man, and partially like some other gender
Fraysexual: someone who only experiences sexual attraction to individuals they are less familiar with, and lose interest when they get to know the person
Bisexual: the sexual attraction to two or more genders
Akoiromantic: feeling romantic attraction, but having no desire to have interactions or have feelings reciprocated, or a person who feels romantic attraction, which fades if it is reciprocated or if they enter a relationship with the person they are attracted to

For bisexual, woman-aligned people who lean strongly towards girls. The various shades of pink represent different shades of feminity/femaleness. The more gray stripe represents a gray area between being attracted to women exclusively and being attracted to women in addition to other gender(s). The purple shades represent the acknowledgement that the person is not exclusively attracted to women.
Sorry for taking a lot of time before responding: we weren’t sure about how to go on with this.
No, no one has ever requested flags for aesthetic orientations before, so there’s no color scheme associated with aesthetic attraction or lack of attraction.
I suggested teal and deep pink since those colors are present on a lot of pictures labeled as “aesthetic”, but that’s just one of the options.
Besides, how do you want the flag to look like? Just like the omni flag with extra stripes? Because there are other options too. Like overlays – such as how there are romantic orientation flags that put hearts over general/sexual flags. Instead of a heart, maybe it could be a star or flower? You can also just have a different flag without any extra colors associated to that kind of orientation, like these polyromantic, panromantic and pansensual flags.
I got really low on spoons and figured I’d just rb the initial poll.
I am not going to vote even though I have ideas of my own because even though I am finaesthetic, I don’t use it as a personal major identity. I’d rather have people who have an aesthetic attraction vote, but I made this for those who do.
If people think it’s inappropriate that I did make this, I will take it down, but just let me know.
Hey guys! If you can, you should check out this poll! It’s for deciding what color should be representative of -aesthetic orientations! So if you experience aesthetic attraction and feel like it’s part enough of your identity that you’d want a flag for it, then you should absolutely vote in this poll!!
Fluidity: one or more changes in sexual/romantic/etc. identity (sometimes known as sexual/romantic/etc. orientation identity)
Royal Blue and Lavender stripes acknowledge that fluid community members are proudly part of the bisexual community, the flag of which shares these same stripes. Turquoise is an acknowledgement of the pansexual pride flag as well as the many bisexual, pansexual, fluid and queer people who celebrate the power bisexuality has to set us free from binaries of gender and sexuality.
Bisexuals experience attraction to two – any two, but only two – gendered partners, such as men and women, women and agender, or even genderfluid and ceterogender.
Umbrella term, under the multisexual umbrella, image is the flag with symbol overlay.
Disclaimer: This term is generally defined as the attraction to two or more genders.
It’s not like gay, straight, and bi people have disappeared, those still very much exist. But some people found they don’t really fit into those categories, and therefore made some that did. For example, I do not feel like bisexual represents my attraction. So I label myself as pansexual as I feel that is what fits me most.
You can definitely use queer as a personal identifier if you so choose to. And yes, there are A LOT of queer flags, so here we go.
So yeah, take your pick.
As a side note, if you are attracted to multiple genders but aren’t sure or don’t want to specify which genders/how many genders/to what degree the attraction is, you could also use multisexual. It can be used both as an umbrella term and a personal label.
