Okay so after some discussion with others, and some embarrassing mistakes, Iāve decided to put up this CORRECTED version of the Galaxian Alignment system.
The reason for the correction was because not only did I get the demi- terms incorrect (and accidentally switched Galaxian with Celestian), but I had misunderstood the original intent of the coined system.
The description for Solarian isĀ āIn many cultures and religious systems, the sun is associated with masculinity, and male energy. As a result, a Solar Nonbinary Person, or Solarian, would be someone who has similarities in identity or experience with men. The term functions as a less easily abused form of āmale aligned.āāĀ
The point is to give a replacement to āfemale-aligned,ā āmale-alignedā and ānonbinary-alignedā statements, but it also has to do with the personās experience. For example, while I identify as transmasculine, I have both female-aligned and male-aligned experiences in my day to day life, so I could identify as Eclipsian. However, because Iām transmasculine and I do not want to identify with female alignment in any capacity, I identify as Solarian.Ā
So thereās a number of ways you can use these terms for yourself. You can describe yourself under both your gender identity and your gender experience (which in my case are actually different), or you can go with just the one that best matches your experience or identity. Some even use this to acknowledge that, while they are of a certain identity, they still experience another alignment at the same time.Ā
Itās completely up to you.
But remember, these are not genders. These are alignment identifiers, minus theĀ āmale-ā orĀ āfemale-ā orĀ ānonbinary-ā spectrum alignment implications. So Iād tack this on my gender asĀ āsolarian trans manā if I was describing myself.Ā
I hope that can clear up the mess I accidentally made with my first post. @uncommongenders @transgalaxies @ask-pride-color-schemes @coiningblog @beyond-mogai-pride-flags if you lovely people could kindly reblog this along with my original post thatād be so, so helpful to make sure my correction gets out there.
