Back from my unintentional hiatus and livid

I want my religious terms off the LGBTA+ wiki (I'll explain why), and from this point on I do not want anything I coin added to it. I deeply regret coining terms through the wiki and will be recoining Iphisian and Teiresian to remove them from the wiki.

The Dionysian Gender System, including Maedic, Thyrsoan, and Satyrian can remain on the wiki if they are not altered past this point, except for a note visible on the pages. The contents of the note will be at the bottom of this post.

So, for those confused, hi. I'm Crow. I assume you already follow me, but if you don't know, I'm a Hellenic Polytheist and this is my religious blog. I have coined five-six religiogenders through this blog and the LGBTA+ wiki (where I am Localcorvid), all relating to my personal experience of Hellenic Polytheism and worship. All were coined at times I identified with them, though now I only really define myself as Iphisian and Maedic out of the set.

I am not a MOGAI blog. I want to make that clear. The coining of those genders through this blog were because of their specific ties to my religion. That is the main reason I'm so, so angry.

So, let me quickly copy my definition of Iphisian: "Ihpisian is a gender for Hellenic Polytheists who are AFAB transgender. The gender is also oriented towards, but not exclusive to, worship of Aphrodite, Hera, and Isis (Egyptian)." *Note: I have personally modified the definition as the coiner, but in fairness, this is what I originally coined it as. It has evolved into a term for AFAB transgender, transmasculine, and transgender lesbian Hellenists.

What I'm fucking pissed about is the flag they added. Which I'm not showing. Because it's attributed to an agnostic non-polytheist cisgender girl.

And Teiresian? A term that I coined as "a gender for Hellenic Polytheists who are bigender, AMAB transgender, and/or genderfluid ... oriented towards worship of Apollon, Hermes, or Hera"?

They added a flag made by an agnostic catholic. At least he was intramasculine (trans), but still.

These terms are religious. I don't know how to stress that enough. They are religious terms, religious genders. They are tied to my theoi, who I love with my entire heart. They are devoted to my patrons. These are my gods.

And I don't know how to explain that I don't want cis agnostics making flags for my transmasculine lesbian Hellenist terms! I don't know how to explain I don't want agnostic ex-catholics making a flag for a term related to devotion to Hera!

My religion is open, but that doesn't mean this isn't violently disrespectful. The terms were explicitly not open. Those flags weren't for outsiders to make, period.

So I want those terms down, right now. And if I ever coin another religiogender or sexuality, do not put it on the damn wiki. I give consent for @ezgender to put my terms on the Ezgender wiki, and as of right now that is the only one they're allowed to go on.

@official-lgbta-wiki, take my terms down, except for the Dionysian Gender System. My note is as follows:

On October 24, 2021, the coiner koraki-pharmakis posted a statement to faer Tumblr blog stating that fae no longer wanted faer terms on the LGBTA+ wiki due to members disrespecting closed religious terms and the wiki's lack of adequate moderation and respect for coiners. Fae allowed that the Dionysian Gender System, including Maedic, Thyrsoan, and Satyrian, remain on the site with the requirement that this message be attached and that no flags or symbols created by individuals who were not Hellenist Dionysos worshippers be added to the page.

If you don't post the note, I expect my gender system to also be removed.

Blatantly disrespecting marginalized religions is never a good look, and your moderation should not be so terrible that this is allowed to happen to me and dozens of other coiners.

The Dionysian Gender System

A gender system exclusively for Hellenic Pagans who worship Dionysos, and may feel that their worship impacts their gender and/or simply relates to mythical members of his cult. Cis and binary individuals may use the terms. One may also use a term associated with a gender they are not if it fits—ie a binary trans man with a connection to the maenads may be maedic, if they identify as such.

If you don't like religiogenders, you're allowed to keep scrolling and ignore this post :)

Dionysian Gender/Dionygender

Both an umbrella for anyone using the Dionysian gender system and a gender identity for someone whose gender is influenced by or tied to their worship of Dionysos.

Colors based on the sacred colors of Dionysos Black for nonconformity/chaos Shades of green for life, nature, viticulture, and masculinity White for community and trans, nonbinary and intersex people Shades of red-pink for power and femininity Purple for blurred lines, wine, and androgyny

Maedic/Maegender

Named after the Maenads, the female members of the Cult of Dionysos also known as the Bacchae. Refers to a feminine, female, neutral, or female-associated gender of experience. Specifically, women, all genders of lesbians and sapphics, AFAB non-women who feel their relation to femininity impacts their gender/experience, feminine non-binary people, and anyone of any gender with a tie to femininity. This gender is also associated with power, freedom, chaos, and appreciation of women (romantically, aesthetically, sexually, conceptually, etc.).

Red for power, wine, and blood Shades of red-pink for power and the spectrum of femininity White for community and trans, nonbinary, and intersex people Orange-gold for leopard skins and wild nature Brown for wild nature, forests, and the thyrsos staff Black for nonconformity and chaos

Thyrsoan/Thyrsogender

Named after the thyrsos, a staff associated with Dionysos and his cult. Refers to a neutral, mixed, fluid, or otherwise androgynous or agender experience. Specifically, anyone who falls outside the gender binary, is non-cis but feels their relation to their AGAB affects their gender, or who bends gender roles and presentation. This gender is also associated with revelry, devotion, power, and love (of any kind towards anything).

Olive green for forests Shades of green for life, viticulture, and the spectrum of masculinity White for community and trans, nonbinary, and intersex people Brown for wild nature, mixing of gender and presentations, nonconformity, and the thrysos staff Shades of red for power, wine, and the spectrum of femininity

Satyrian/Satyrigender

Named after the Satyrs, the half-faun male member of the Cult of Dionysos. Refers to a masculine, male, neutral, or male-associated gender of experience. Specifically, men, all genders of achilleans, AMAB non-men who feel their relation to masculinity impacts their gender/experience, masculine non-binary people, and anyone of any gender with a tie to masculinity. This gender is also associated with freedom, revelry, impulsivity, community, and wildness.

Dark brown for forests, wood, and hooves Brown for wild nature, fur, deer, stags, and nonconformity Golden-brown for sun and strength White for community and trans, nonbinary, and intersex people Shades of green for life and the spectrum of masculinity Olive green for forests and fertility

Bonus: Symbols for the genders! From left to right they’re Maedic, Thyrsoan, and Satyrian

TERFS, exclusionists, anti-MOGAI, folkists, anti-mspec lesbians/gays, antitheists, cringe/flop accs, etc. DNI

Reblogs welcome :)

(personally, I'm maedic and thyrsoan!)

Satyrian - This Dream

"This Dream" by Satyrian

posted in r/ListenToThis

[stellar-tombs]

Sweet sovereign, one last glance Sinking slow in rapture romance. Nothing left but liquid pain, Floating tears and velvet rain. No more sunrise, no more delights When endless darkness is all around me. Eternal grief, from this despite, A smile of hatred - the last I could see. The final gate was closed tonight, But tell me why I may live and come by. Sacred lies... Sacred lies... Explore the mystries of death. Sacred lies... This will be my fate the end I dread. The fade I feel, the ghost I see Someday I'll cross the edge within me. The joy of dying crashes pain And silence within me....

~Sacred lies,Satyrian~
