Verian/Almondsexual

For People who are usually only attracted to Men/Masc aligned genders & Nonbinary/Adrogynous aligned genders but occasionally feel a little attraction to Women/Fem genders.

by By Ace ☆ Ren on Pinterest

Genderfaunet

A gender identity based off of genderfaun and a form of genderfluidity. genderfaunet is when someone never feels completely female. they can switch between male, nonbinary, and even female gender identities as long as they don't feel completely female. for example they can feel like a demigirl, or librafeminine, but not 100% female. (coined by Ram on tumblr, Flag mabe by BitzOfPuzzelPeices on wiki)

Quaromantic

An Aromantic Identity, and subset of Cavaeromantic, when one feels strong alterous and/or exteramo attraction in place of where romantic attraction would be. An alternative way to describe it is if one's alterous and/or exteramo attraction takes the role of where romantic attraction would be. One way to Visualize it would be if there was various holes in the ground for where each attraction is suppose to contain. the hole that was meant to contain romantic attraction, instead was filled in with strong alterous and/or exteramo attraction. (By ConfusedAsHecc on Reddit)

Wolandsexual

An Orientation on the asexual spectrum in which one feels varying degrees if sexual attraction due to one's disability and/or chronic illness. This can be due to pain and/or (lack of) Spoons. (by Sapphire Crimson-Claw on tumblr)

Nomaromantic

The romantic attraction to all genders except binary man. The term was made with non-binaries in mind but binaries can use it. (by 50wives on Tumblr)

Non-Human Loving Woman Flag

(by Squidthing on tumblr)

Spiralline

An umbrella term with themes of madness, distrusting your senses, unreality, deception, and paradoxes. It has ties to fractal, impossible geometry, mazes, and spiral imagery. This gender may be either terrifying or comforting to the user, but always has an element of fear. This identity may be associated to one's psychotic symptoms, but doesn't have to be. It feels as though you're losing your mind, unable to tell what's real, but knowing something isn't right. Reality has no meaning, as you can't tell where your perceptions end and the "true" world begins. It may feel like you're a paradox of infinite possibility, each spiraling out into endless forms that make you lose yourself in their complexity (Inspired by the Spiral from The Magnus Archives.)

[howling-at-a-hollow-moon]

To anyone whom it may concern:

The gender wiki is being closed down, for honestly bullshit reasons. (see this post for more information)

We have been actively working to remove problematic genders from the wiki, but Fandom has already decided to shut down the wiki entirely. We hope with enough pushback, we can change their mind on this.

This wiki has been active for almost a decade now, and not only is it a wonderful resource, it is also a safe place for many users who otherwise don’t have one. Myself included.

Please repost, and take whatever action you can to prevent this from happening.

@almost-villainous

[howling-at-a-hollow-moon]

An update to this: several other LGBTQ related wikis are being shut down, and they are getting worse and worse at hiding their transphobia. This time the supposed reason is that the content is overlapping with other wikis and they want everything on the LGBTQIA+ wiki, despite the majority of content on these wikis being closed down being microlabels and the LGBTQ wiki not allowing those. Also, there are other wikis out there that are much more duplicates of each other than these are.

This is, I quote exactly, what one of the fandom staff said:

“Just generally speaking... have you ever considered that... "thousands of identities" is part of a larger problem? Like as a gay man myself, I remember the era that I call the "Lady Gaga Born This Way" era of gay where the goal was to REMOVE labels and groupings. Instead, we've overcorrected somehow. Like the old Gender Wiki had a page for "Cheesecakegender" and for "Murdergender"... I think that's grotesque enough of a showing to beg the question... are any of those really necessary?”

It is also strictly against Fandom’s guidelines to be transphobic, by the way.

Again, please reblog, repost this on other platforms, get the information out there however you can.

[almost-villainous]

don’t support Fandom /srs-imp

This is to anyone currently on Fandom.

This is not me trying to persuade you to instantly quit/abandon Fandom, as I know there’s communities and friendships here, and requesting/suggesting that would be unreasonable. This is me warning you that they are queerphobic pieces of crap.

https://lgbt-pride.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000095167 (this is just one example) (if you can’t access the link/it goes to a dead wiki, here are some screenshots)

Multiple of their staff team members seem to be conveniently ignoring their own ‘no transphobia or homophobia’ rules, and are in the process of (as far as I’m aware) deleting EVERY. SINGLE. LGBT+ WIKI, under the pathetic excuses of them being ‘duplicates’, or having ‘harmful content’, or whatever bullshit they like to spew.

They go ‘oh you have the perfectly good LGBT+ wiki WE made just go THERE dummies’, but they’re PERFECTLY AWARE that that wiki only allows ‘well-known’ or ‘popular’ genders, as well as generally having extremely strict rules. They don’t care about the queer community, and we need to stop pretending they do.

Be angry. Be pissed. Be sad, be hurt. But DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, go attack no berate them. They’ll write you off as an emotional woke teenager, and using your own personal experiences don’t fking matter to them; I see a lot of ppl do that, and I’ not insulting them in any way, but Fandom really doesn’t care when you go ‘oh no but MY gender isn’t ‘normal’ what about me don’t you relate to me’. No. They don’t. Your words do. Not. Matter. To. Them. It sucks, the world sucks, but we need to remember that some people are just full of shit.

If you have a small wiki/are working on one/hope to work on one, I’m begging you, DON’T USE FANDOM. Don’t support Fandom. Don’t support blatant queerphobes. Spread this post if you can, I beg of you. We can’t do much, but anything is better than nothing. Again, I don’t demand you instantly quit Fandom or anything, but do what you can. Try alternatives, if possible. I’m personally using Miraheze as where I’m moving my own wiki (The Invoker Trilogy wiki) to, and its coding style is pleasantly similar to Fandom’s — they even have a whole page on ‘so, you’re moving from Fandom’, lol!

I just wanted to get this out there. Don’t support Fandom.

[your-bigender-big-brother]

What do I do with 660+ pages of wiki content I had to create and edit by myself? I don't want all this hard work to just vanish.

Round 1, Match 49 — Crossdresser vs. Lumerangic

Which pride flag is your favourite?

Crossdresser

Lumerangic

Voting ended onMay 8

CROSSDRESSER Definition: Cross-dressing means wearing clothes traditionally or stereotypically associated with a different gender, such as men wearing women’s clothes, or more rarely women wearing men’s clothes. It is a form of dress or presentation rather than any particular gender identity, sexual orientation, or motivation, and has appeared in many societies across history for reasons including disguise, comfort, self-expression, ritual, and performance. Cross-dressing is not the same as being transgender, though older writings often used broader and less precise terminology that grouped different experiences together. Flag creator: Unknown Colour meanings: Blue = traditional colour for baby boys, pink = traditional colour for baby girls.

LUMERANGIC Definition: Lumerangic is a bright, positive gender that connects heavily to the sun, gold, and angels. This identity resonates with the warm colour palette of the sun, and also with the grace and ethereal nature of angels. Flag creator: fairytale-enby (2021) Colour meanings: Unknown

[ugly-anarchist]

I think I've spoken about the term "Salmacian" in the past and even recommended it and I think I need to revoke those statements.

(Screenshots taken from Salmacian.org)

So apparently Salmacian was originally coined to literally mean "transitioning to intersex" and the term itself is taken directly from the myth of Hermaphroditus, the origin of the slur for intersex people. And though efforts have apparently been made to distance itself from the original definition it still takes from the same source that birthed the slur that's used against us in the modern age.

Not to mention the fact that the Salmacian flag (at least the one used here) is incredibly similar to the intersex flag and clearly takes inspiration from it.

Also included on their site is this:

The only people who wouldn't be assigned afab/amab are intersex people but all intersex people are forcibly assigned a sex at birth. I don't fully know what they're trying to say here but this seems like a misuse of agab terminology or an intentional spreading of the myth that intersex people aren't assigned male/female at birth.

Like I get that there needs to be a label to fill the niche of "person who wants a body that doesn't fit the typical idea of male/female" or "person who wants a mixed genital set" or whatever but this is steeped in intersexism and directly takes from the intersex community. Specifically it takes directly from the origin of the slur that's used against us.

This is literally just one step removed from saying "I want to transition to be intersex"

[ugly-anarchist]

Something not mentioned by this website is that Salmacis didn't just fall in love with Hermaphroditus and wish to be "one" with him but in the original myth she assaults Hermaphroditus after he rejects her and they are fused together against his will. Also in another/to my knowledge most renditions of the myth Hermaphroditus was born that way and it wasn't fusing with Salmacis that caused him to look like that.

Ironically, this is a very accurate allegory to the way perisex trans people treat intersex people. Trans people want to be intersex, we reject them, they fetishize us and claim we're being transphobic and then forcibly mush our communities together until our individual identity is erased.

You can't make this shit up

Friendly reminder to use the following terms instead:

-Duomorphic (if you're referring to transitioning into mixed sex traits). Salmacian and aphrodisian are both rooted in the h-slur mythology.

-Multisex (if you're referring to transitioning to multiple different sexes).

-Sexnull (if you're referring to transitioning to null sex traits)

-Xenosex (if you're referring to transitioning to a sex not naturally seen within humans.)

-Altersex (if you're referring to transitioning to mixed, null, or xenine sex traits.)

there's social, medical and legal transition, but there's definitely some sort of mental transition as well.

you hear stories of people changing their presentation and feeling more right, or people going on hormones suddenly feeling more comfortable with clothes associated with their AGAB, but all of these things can and do happen without any other transition steps.

simply realising you are really nonbinary/male/female so often makes things click for people. they've adjusted the lens through which they see themselves. for some people, that might be all they need to feel okay with how they look and present right now. looking in the mirror and choosing to see a nonbinary person rather than a man for some means suddenly liking how they look even if externally nothing has changed. wearing a dress suddenly seems more appealing because it doesn't come from a place of womanhood but from a place of nonbinarity. going from "i'm a broken version of my AGAB" to "i'm actually just a different gender". of course this doesn't work for every trans person and you can't just think dysphoria away, but even the mental shift from "i failed at being a woman" to "i want to be a man" to "i am a man" is some kind of transition.

and i would argue without this mental transition, none of us would be able to come out and transition in other ways in the first place.

This. And let me say that sometimes, mental transition is the final step for some people. Like, I socially transitioned and felt “imposter syndrome” many times.

TRANS MAN & TRANS WOMAN

flags for trans men/boys (left) and trans women/girls (right)

intended for binary trans men and women but nonbinary trans men/women can use as well!

[scarfflag]

"pronominate": verb version of "pronominal". it describes the general act of using pronouns in any context (forms: pronominates, pronominated, pronominating)

"mispronominate": to use incorrect pronouns towards someone

[radiomogai]

There's asocial the orientation and there's asocial the symptom. Asocial as in experiencing little-to-no social attraction, and asocial as in experiencing a disinterest in social interaction. And as a MOGAIer who is frequently asocial (symptom) but not asocial (orientation), this gets confusing

I'm not sure what can be done here, I don't have a solution. But I wanted to see if anyone else has ideas to toss out there. We& experience asocial episodes pretty frequently because we're schizophrenic; we get periods of time where we just really are not interested in talking to people or having conversations. We also have specific system members who are more prone to being asocial than others, or who are symptom holders for asociality. But to my knowledge, nobody in our system, hell maybe even our polyplex, is asocial (orientation)

And we& really like microlabelling! We do it a ton if you couldn't tell. We have a lot of interest in fragarian orientations given that we're collectively aroaceapl. So it's pretty frequent for us to run into a situation of "[name] is asocial, the symptom kind". And having to specify is annoying

Anyway. Thoughts, discussion, whatever. Passing on the talking stick

[the-solar-system-mogai]

Maybe asocial the orientation can instead be called nonsocial or unsocial while asocial is more for the symtpom?

[rwuffles]

hmm. i don't think that'd work if only because most of the time not experiencing a certain attraction is referred to as being aspec; it makes the most sense for it to still start with a. maybe ansocial? or anasocial?

[the-solar-system-mogai]

I think anasocial could work well, especially sicne it follows the other attraction terms with names (anattractional, anaesthetic, etc)

[radiomogai]

I'm liking anasocial and ansocial. Anasocial flows better pronunciation-wise, but ansocial works better etymology-wise (since ana- as a prefix typically means 'upward', 'backward', or 'again'; if ana- is viewed as a compound of a- and an-, then it's a double negative, which is typically avoided as to not cancel itself out (I'm flattening a LOT of nuance here about discussions of double negatives, I know, just don't have it in the brain ability right now for that))

Ansocial also goes along with anattractional, anaesthetic (though nonaesthetic and a-aesthetic still get used as well due to anaesthetic inadvertently being a whole other word), like the-solar-system-mogai said. Just fits as part of a pack

[rwuffles]

@sunsandfangs pointed out that anasocial would be shortened to ana which could get confused with the shortening of anorexia, so ultimately i agree that ansocial works the best etymology wise and convenience even if anasocial flows off the tongue better. anosocial could be funny tho. "a no social." yanno.

[posting-stuffies]

I know some words that start with ana- prefix meaning the same as a-: anachronism, anaporate, anaparental. Though they mean anti- (against) or distal instead of absent.

While for unsocial and nonsocial. These are already in the dictionary. Is it be uncommon to call someone a nonsocial person?

tbh I feel the need to distinguish because I am both.
