ALIEN WOMAN/GIRL & ALIEN MAN/BOY
I've seen other alien genders around, but nothing that describes how I actually personally see my gender.
A lot of the ones I've seen around tend to describe it more as your gender being "connected to" (aliens, space, etc.), and that doesn't describe me and isn't how I feel.
The closest I found was this, but I don't feel it quite encapsulates how I feel, and I don't feel that I'm trying to "fit into" or "try out" a "foreign species' gender." I could just be nit-picking and taking the description too literally, though, in which case, there's no harm in having both the terms I coined, as well as the one I linked.
I also saw this, but it's also not really what I wanted, since this term seems to be more about Being an alien rather than anything to do with gender.
For me, I am a woman, but in the way that an alien is a "woman" - they can't really be "women" in the human sense of the word since they're not human. I've described feeling like an "alien's imitation of a human woman/girl", and I think that that is the best way I can describe what I mean by these terms.
You can interpret this in any number of ways, though - an alien "performing" womanhood, an alien "mimicking" womanhood, an alien whose womanhood is inherently "weird" and "strange" due to not being human, etc. (or just replace with man instead of woman if that applies to you).
A term for when you feel that you are a woman/girl, but in the same way that an alien is a woman/girl.
A term for when you feel that you are a man/boy, but in the same way that an alien is a man/boy.
As stated, these can be interpreted in a lot of different ways - there's no real "wrong" way to personally identify with these words.
You can combine these with other labels too, of course (you can be an alien demigirl or demiboy or bigender, genderfluid, etc.).
COLOR & DESIGN EXPLANATIONS:
I wanted to use a light red color instead of an overt pink, as a nod to the way pink can be associated with women/girls and feminity, and conversely used a minty green color as a nod to the association of blue with men/boys and masculinity. I figured they could serve as both referencing each of the genders' color associations, but different, because alien.
I realized that instead of doing the more tradition horizontal stripes format, in order to both make my flag more unique and stand out more, I decided to do something different. I like that it also adds another layer of referencing the alien-ness of these genders.
My friend gave me the idea of radial lines and then I stumbled across an image that reminded me a lot of spiral galaxies, so I used it as a reference for this.
The middle circles and spirals are dark blue to reference space in general, and the very background color was kinda just a random color choice that fit, althought it can also sort of reference space as well.
The yellow spiral lines connect the two genders, and I think it's nice that yellow can be a fairly non-gendered color, so I felt like it was fitting.
Finally, the symbols in the middle are meant to be the venus and mars symbols respectively, but the venus symbol turned upside down and the mars symbol inverted, which I feel serves as a nod to the inherent alien nature of these genders of course, but the added lines with circles are meant to be like the stereotypical alien antennae! I think that the symbols are really simple and cute and I think they work really nicely together.
And that's about it for the explanation of the flag design!
Feel free to ask any questions if you want me to expand/explain more/etc.
Anyone can use these terms if they personally feel that it describes them, because I think the concept of saying who can or can't identify with a gender is really weird. Like, that's already what society does lol
(I would write image descriptions, but tbh I am really bad with image descriptions and I'm truly not sure how I would go about describing this, so if anyone adds any kind of ID, I'll copy-paste and edit the OG post with them)
