Round 1, Match 218 — Sapiosexual vs. Transmasculine
Which pride flag do you prefer?
Sapiosexual
Transmasculine
SAPIOSEXUAL Definition: Sapiosexual, less controversially known as scisexual or cognisexual, can be defined as when one only experiences sexual attraction to individuals they experience mental attraction to, intellectually bond with, are inspired by, or admire for their unique intellectual beauty. In this case, it may be considered a subset of mesi asexual, aliquasexual, demisexual, and apressexual. Sapiosexuality can also describe being attracted to the mind, irrespective of gender. This is similar to pansexuality, but in this case, one specifically finds intelligence or intellectual beauty to be the main source of attraction. Sapiosexuality was originally defined as when one finds intelligence sexually attractive or arousing, or finds intelligence to be the most attractive attribute in a individual. Though this is currently the official, commonly used, and most well-known definition, this is an outdated definition. It centers more heavily around preference than it does around orientation. This definition also tends to restrict the conversation around intelligence. Flag creator: Unknown Colour meanings: Unknown
TRANSMASCULINE Definition: Transmasculine, or transmasc, is an umbrella term for individuals whose gender is partially or fully masculine, and does not correspond with their birth sex/AGAB, or otherwise conform to conventional notions of sex and gender. This includes trans men, whose gender is masculine in some way. Some transmasc individuals may be athenomasc. Transmasculine individuals can also identify as other, non-masculine genders as well. For example, an androgyne individual may identify as transmasculine, though typically, one's masculine identities are more significant than one's non-masculine identities, or one wants to emphasize their masculine identity. Transmasculine individuals are sometimes called FtM or F2M (female to male); however, this isn't always accurate as not all transmasculine individuals are binary trans men, nor are all transmasc individuals are AFAB. Transmasculine individuals are typically AFAB, though they may also possibly be AXAB, AIAB or UAB.
