so many mlm yearning blogs, so many of them single. WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE. I'M LONELY TOO. CAN WE AT LEAST BE FRIENDS. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN WE AT LEAST BE FRIENDS.
gnc culture is experiencing attraction to other gnc people but having no specific word for it. my gnc-loving ass got so fed up with not having a proper word that I made up an entire new sexuality label and flag because im the kind of person who brings an object lesson to every other one-week school presentation - that's hyperbolic but not by much - and now there is a word for it! parafonian!
Oh that’s beautiful!! i’m asking very politely for you to share the way you got that word and if you have a flag, we’d adore that too 👀👀👀
I go by Byrd for short. I'm an intersex autistic trans man, I use it/he pronouns (unless it's funnier or gayer not to), I'm plural, and I'm over 18. I'm also an ex-mormon. Do not fucking proselytize any fucking religion at me. You will be blocked.
I mostly reblog about random shit, but sometimes I'll make original posts and/or respond with my take on a situation - those should be mostly tagged as #byrd chirps.
My exmo tag is #byrd is an exmo. Sometimes, my moot @twiggyfrogblog sends me birds, sometimes other people do too, so if you're looking for fantastic bird posts, the tags #byrd's birds and #ty twiggy! should take you there. Ask games are tagged #byrd's ask games. Transparent gifs are tagged as both #transparent gif and #transparent gifs.
I also have some new tags - #byrd's silly art, which is for my artwork (currently just me tracing photographs to try and wrap my head around concepts like shapes and shading), and #byrd's writing, which is how I tag any posts about my writing.
I am currently writing a fanfic - I've started to try and tag that as #stt and #byrd's silly little fanfic - once someone finds the fic on AO3, I'll put a link in here.
Some of my posts/reblogs contain triggering/heavy/nsfw topics. I do my best to tag these, but I'm not perfect. Let me know if I miss anything. I don't generally tag swearing, and I do use the word queer as a self-identifier unapologetically.
I have a few sideblogs - some of which are currently inactive. I won't link them here - see if you can find them!
I'm friends with Kea, a writer who distributes his work under a pseudonym, and I have his permission to post his writing. Here is my favorite of his, The Model and The Letter.

In addition, I really enjoy helping to name things like fictional characters and whatnot. I have a method that I use that creates original names with meaning - it's not foolproof, but I've come up with some great names through it.
If you need help naming someone/something, feel free to send in an ask at least giving me a few words you'd like associated with the thing - more information is better, though! There's no cost, either - it's a fun exercise in creativity on my end. These will be tagged as #byrd's name game.

The Model and The Letter by Kea (if it gets 420k notes by the end of the year I'll read Animorphs and maybe write an essay about it)
Thank u for asking! It's the flag for a term I coined, parafonian! As it turns out, a term had already existed, but I prefer mine over GNCsexual as it's much easier to pronounce, and I do prefer the flag I made since it's easier to reproduce.
That said, I'm definitely biased and anybody can use whatever terms they like! I colorpicked it from the GNC flag, though, so that's pretty neat.
Basically, what being parafonian boils down to is being attracted to gender non-conformity. For me, that's masculine women, feminine men, and enben whose vibes are Very Gender™!
It's essentially just a less clunky term for being gncsexual, but I like the flag that I came up with a bit better than the original one. I am, of course, biased in this.
Basically, I'm attracted to gender-nonconformity: masculine women, feminine men, enben whose vibes are Very Gender, etc.
What is "parafonian?" (Genuine question, and I don't really trust Google to give me a satisfactory answer.)
I'm so glad u asked! It's a term I coined a while back in this post here. Basically, it's attraction to gender nonconformity - masculine women, feminine men, and enben whose vibes are Very Gender™! As it turns out, there was already a term and I'm just shit at finding stuff, but the term is GNCsexual - it feels a bit clunkier than parafonian, but I'm not about to police labels lol. It's probably gonna be hard to find online because of how recent it is, but I'm really proud of how it turned out. Lmk if u have any other questions!
Hey, do you mind if I ask what "parafonian" means? I couldn't really find much on a quick google search.
okay quick question
here's the original post! it's a term some friends and i coined to describe attraction to gender non-conformity - v broad and also able to be used in conjunction with other terms.
basically, attraction to masc women, femme men, and enbies whose vibes are very Gender™!
