Notes; I know. I know. Technically femaric, emboric, and mascic are standalone umbrella terms that can be used as a spectrum without the whole spectrum being mentioned, but we wanted some more tangible terms to use for our own experiences because just saying one is femaric, mascic, or enboric feels really limiting for some reason? Y'know. I'm not entirely sure why it feels so limiting, but some of our associates have complained about it and about assigning base terms for their orientation that they want to list or do find. Something simply feels off.
For the ease of pronunciation, I have used an- prefix instead of a- prefix for Anfemaric and Anenboric. I took the ic out of the enboric completely, because it looks neater this wau, but I left it in the other two to steer away from confusing them with femrose and mascrose <3 (also if you still see emboric somewhere in here besides this, that's a typo that none of us has noticed lol.)

These terms are posted ahead of the time for archival ease due to being all in the same post and now existing as tangible terms. However, the flags have been queued afterwards and are currently in the queue. :)
