Can I identify as neptunic when I'm attracted to afab enbys, cis woman, genderless afab enbys? ( like I'm asexual too so who cares about genitals tho but eh yeah still lol)

I mean, it wasn’t really supposed to mean ‘attraction only to afab people’ so I’d prefer if you didn’t?

is attraction to fem gnc males allowed in your definition of neptunic?

No, it’s meant to be attraction only to women, non-gender people, non-aligned enbies, and fem aligned enbies. It wouldn’t include people who identify as men, even if they’re gnc.

Do you know if there’s a label like this but for males/masculinity? Or attraction to both?

Yes, when I coined this term I also coined Uranic, which is attraction to men, nongender people, and all nbs who are not female-aligned or feminine.

can I identity as neptunic if I'm attracted to cis women, afab non-binary and trans men?qwq

Neptunic is more meant to be about what genders you’re attracted to, not what genitalia you’re attracted to...

But I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do. Does it make sense to prefer one label over something that probably fits better? Is it bad that I want to ignore the attraction I feel towards guys? Would it make sense to switch between labels from day to day depending on how I feel? What do you think? (2/2)

Hi. I've been referring to myself as neptunic for a couple months. But thinking I may actually be bi, as I'm attracted to boys as well as girls and feminine aligned enbies. The thing is, I no longer want to date boys. And I had originally decided to cut off the attraction to men I feel from my label. (1/2)

I think you should use whatever label you want. If multiple labels fit you, it’s okay to have a preference for one. It’s also perfectly okay to switch between labels as needed.

I don’t think there’s anything particularly wrong with not wanting to act on attraction to one or more genders you are attracted to. Just because you experience attraction to a gender doesn’t necessarily mean you need to pursue people of that gender.

I know there’s an (fairly rightful) anxiety among cis people about coming across as performative or even fetishizing, and not everyone is into this, but tbh I would personally love to see more cis people loving and appreciating trans folk vocally and talking about their love and attraction to their trans/NB partners and crushes.

Especially as an NB who regularly has crushes on cis people but feels totally unwanted by them and completely disincluded from their attractions, seeing reminders that I’m lovable and desirable would just be nice. I know it’s a difficult line to walk though.

i'm a little troubled by the way you phrased something; i hope this doesn't come off as rude, but women/nonbinary women can be masculine and it seems like in your bio you are equating masculinity with being man-aligned/connection to manhood/etc... ? it kind of rubs me the wrong way, sorry

I guess the way I see it is that there’s two kinds of masculinity, there’s masculinity as in presentation/behavior (butch women could fall under this, for example) and there’s masculinity as in gender (like transmasculine)? I was referring to the latter.

i was under the impression that neptunic meant nbs who are attracted to women and ALL nbs not just fem-aligned ones. do you know if there is a term that describes that?

Neptunic was coined to describe attraction to women and all nbs except male-aligned nbs. If you’re looking for a term that describes attraction to women and all nbs and just not men, I’m not sure.

is there a word like neptunic that is anyone apart from people who are male that includes masculine nbs?

Neptunic is that word? It’s everyone apart from men and masculine/male-aligned nbs.
