Shadowenbian

Official Flag (left), Original Flag (right)

An orientation term where your enbian identity is affected by the fact:

One is transmasculine, transfeminine, a trans man, a trans woman, transneutral, or a binary gender (includes multigender and genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux individuals), as one is either too dysphoric about being called a nonbinary, experience a disconnection from traditional enbyhood, and/or simply doesn’t identify as nonbinary or with enbyhood. They may describe their attraction as any of the following: MLNB; WLNB; MLX; WLX, etc – but they don’t identify their labels as NBLNB; NBLX due to reasons listed above. With a multigender and/or genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux identity, one feels not straight when with a nonbinary individual and/or has a fluctuating level of dysphoria when they sometimes view their attraction as enbian/diamoric in nature, or as NBLNB; NBLX. To express that disconnection, the prefix shadow- is used.

This term also includes those whose orientation is fluid and/or flux, who may not 100% identify with the label of enbian; due to barely ever experiencing attraction to nonbinary individuals (or attraction period), having an attraction to nonbins that feels enbian but also not, having an attraction to enbies that’s fluid between being queer and queern’t, and/or experiencing attractions under a enbian/diamoric lens.

In simpler terms, a shadowenbian may be defined as the following:

Being multigender and/or genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux but never NBLNB, yet feeling like their attraction to enbies is queer.

Being m-spec and not NBLNB, yet feeling a connection to the label.

Being too dysphoric about being called nonbinary/nonbin/enby/being thought of as one, yet being either MLNB; WLNB; XLNB with a connection to the enbian label.

Having a fluid/flux orientation where one’s not 100% a enbian due to any reason, but retaining a connection to the enbian label.

Simply feeling as if one’s enbian, but also not.

.

This term was originally reposted on June 27th, 2022.

So years (August 26th 2020) ago I coined the Shadow- terms on my original mogai blog. Since then I’ve deleted that blog and one-half of the Shadow- terms do not have rebloggable posts out there, so I decided I’d repost the terms.

A while after (February 27th 2021) another tumblr user (@/thepokedexisgay) decided to make simpler alternate flags to these terms. I’ll be posting their flags at the bottom of these posts as well.

I made the original flags based off of my original all inclusive lesbian/gay/vincian/etc. flags, and since I’ve remade those and posted them, I figured I’d remake the Shadow- flags as well, simplifying them and following the color schemes of my new flags. So yeah, some “official” flags for these terms.

That being said, I made the new Shadowenbian flag based off of my Desert Enbian flag, so along with that if you ID as Shadowdiamoric/ShadowQ4NB or whoever else I mentioned could use the Desert Enbian flag, you can also use this flag if you feel your orientation is Shadow-.

(I’d prefer people use these flags as the official versions versus the originals, however if u personally like the other flags whether it’s Alois’s (thepokedexisgay) or the original ones, or feel like making your own based on an alternate lesbian/veldian/enbian/etc. flag, feel free to go on ahead.)

Yes, most of the definition in this post is ripped directly from the LGBTA wiki, with some changes to it due to my current knowledge of labels.

Here is the link to the Shadowenbian flag made by @/thepokedexisgay, and here is the [link] to the Shadowenbian page on the LGBTA wiki.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the existing shadow- flags due to the number of stripes and the black to white gradient. I also didn’t think some of the colors really... fit the identities (at least not with my synesthesia), so I thought I’d make some newer ones.

From left to right: Shadowenbian, shadowfloric/shadowturian, shadowlesbian

I’d be willing to make the others in the original post if there is demand for them. I have a concept for shadowgay already.
