Shadowstraight

Official Flag (left), Original Flag (right)

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

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

One is transfeminine, a trans woman, transneutral, nonbinary, or just not a man (includes multigender and genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux individuals), as one is either too dysphoric about being called a man, experience a disconnection from traditional manhood, and/or simply doesn’t identify as a man or with manhood. They may describe their attraction as any of the following: WLW; WLNB; WLX; NBLM; NBLNB; NBLX, etc – but they don’t identify their labels as MLW; MLNB; MLX due to reasons listed above. With a multigender and/or genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux identity, one feels straight when with a woman and/or has a fluctuating level of dysphoria when they sometimes view their attraction as strayt/romeric in nature, or as MLW. 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 straight; due to barely ever experiencing attraction to men (or attraction period), having an attraction to men that feels straight but also not, having an attraction to men that’s fluid between being queer and queern’t, and/or experiencing attractions under a straight/queern’t lens.

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

In simpler terms, shadowstraight may be defined as the following:

Being multigender and/or genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux but never WLM, yet feeling like their attraction to men is straight/strayt/queern’t.

Being multigender and/or genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux but never MLW, yet feeling like their attraction to women is straight/strayt/queern’t.

Being m-spec and not WLM/MLW, yet feeling a connection to the label.

Being too dysphoric about being called a woman/girl/being thought of as one, yet being either NBLM, MLM or XLM with a connection to the straight label.

Being too dysphoric about being called a man/boy/being thought of as one, yet being either NBLW, WLW or XLW with a connection to the straight label.

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

Simply feeling as if one’s straight, 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 28th 2021) another tumblr user (@/thepokedexisgay) decided to make simpler alternate flags to these terms. I’ll be posting a link to their flags at the bottom of these posts.

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 Shadowstraight flag based off of my Canyon Queerhet flag, so along with that if you ID as Shadowstrayt/ShadowNQ4G or whoever else I mentioned could use the Canyon Queerhet 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 Shadowstraight flag made by @/thepokedexisgay, and here is the [link] to the Shadowstraight page on the LGBTA wiki.

Some more shadow- flags, some at the request of an anon. Two of them are redesigns, the others I’m pretty sure are new

I made alternative names/flags for shadowenbian, shadowlesbian, and shadowfloric/turian in the event that someone is more comfortable with that

@neopronouns @libragender @genderstalgia @mogai-monarchs @kenochoric @cinnamogai @variant-archive hope it’s okay to tag you again
