When someone is both Cupioromantic and Cupiosexual.
Ie. Cupiorose is when an individual does not experience romantic or sexual attraction but still desires a romantic and sexual relationship.
Those who wish to use this term may also be on the Aromantic and Asexual spectrums, due to the term fitting when their personal circumstances are not met for feeling romantic and sexual attraction.
Both flags are color-adjustments of the original cupiosexual flag and an alternate form created by Mothfree(LGBTA wiki), with the blue inspired by its use in various AroAce flags, such as Greyrose and Amid.
Stormånnic (pronounced stor-maw-nik) is a preterine subset of Stormian where one is male/miaspec and genderfluid between masculine, androgynous and agender identities, corresponding to different phases/experiences of rainy and stormy weather.
The exact correspondence between stages and gender, if consistent, varies by individual. Additionally, the individuals gender may either be effected by the weather, reflect the weather, simply be represented by the weather, or some combination - there is no wrong way to use this label.
The dark blue on the top represents darkened skies. The grey blue underneath represents rain and a heavy atmosphere. The grey represents both rain- and storm-clouds. The yellow represents lightning, and thunder by association. Brown represents a cozy, comforting shelter from harsh elements. The off-white represents fog, muted sound, and the stillness before and after a strong storm. Green represents agender and genderless identities. The two blue stripes represent differing levels of maleness and masculinity, alongside the various miaspec and minspec identities. Finally, the purple stripe represents androgynous identities.
I encourage anyone who feels like this resonates with them, but they have a different gendered experience attached, to please feel welcome making your own flag and term based off of this one, including but not limited to the flag colors, meanings assigned, name style, etc.
I made this one specifically tailored to myself and do not currently have an interest in coining counterpart terms, so hop right in if you're inspired at all.
A gender related to being both androgyne/androgynous and a thing ; an androgy(n)thing.
The nonhuman variant is exclusive to all nonhumans, alterhumans, therians, otherkin, etc etc, who feel that being androgyne and/or a thing is related to their nonhumanity.
The "n" inclusion is an optional spelling and pronunciation alternative. Both spellings and pronunciations are accurate.
The top 4 stripes represent variations of binary androgyny while the bottom 4 represent abinary androgyny and nonconformity. The 3 center stripes, to me, contrast the other colors to represent being a "thing", as something that stands out in contrast to the social norm.

The base flag was inspired by @ryanyflags versions of the boything and girlthing flags. They are both pretty and inclusive!
Stormian is a xenogender and aesthetigender connected to all levels of rainy weather, dark clouds, thunder and lightning, cold breezes, strong winds, the smell of rain, fog, muted sounds, the heavy atmosphere before rain starts, the dull calm afterwards, and also the comfort of finding/enjoying a warm, safe shelter during bad weather.
Stormian is considered a combination of, or fluctuating experience between, Stormgender, Petrichoric, and Stormhygge.
Some Stormians may consider their gender to consistently be the all-encompassing experience of storms and wet weather, while others may experience it fluidly between the different stages.
The flag colors are a combination of those found from Stormgender, Petrichoric, and Stormhygge. The dark blue and dark grey blue on the top represents darkened skies and storm clouds. The teal and muted blue underneath represent different levels of rain and heavy atmosphere. The yellow represents lightning, and thunder by association. Brown represents a cozy, comforting shelter from harsh elements. The off-white represents fog, muted sound, and the stillness before and after a strong storm. The light blue represents milder rainy weather and the calm it can provide. Dull purple represents the creature comforts one may enjoy while sheltering from harsh weather, like a heat source, soft bedding, another being, etc.
Genderseraphitch is a subset of genderseraph, a xenogender that feels like how an otherworldly being would experience gender. It is both androgynous and genderless in nature, though the connection to both masculinity and femininity is completely different than how humans experience these concepts.
The androgynous and genderless aspects are influenced by a connection to the deepest parts of the earth, natural forces, instinctual knowledge and life cycles. An interpretation of this would be experiencing gender as it would be felt by an otherworldly being which has been housed in our natural plane for longer than mortal consciousness has existed, making the being intrinsically linked with our natural cycles and spirits while still existing outside of them or our understanding of them.
Like genderseraph, those with this gender can best describe it as ethereal, vast, and divine, however these elements are also accompanied with an innate apprehension. It could be described as the intrinsic knowledge one is born with on what is natural vs unnatural, human vs inhuman, living vs inanimate, etc. It could also refer to the distinct feeling one gets when there is something present in the same space as them, without being able to physically see it and prove it's existence.
This could also apply to kingender individuals whose kintype is associated with being incomprehensible, immortal, angelic and/or eldritch in nature.
The green and beige stripes represent the connection to the Earth and its cycles, the white stripe represents the otherworldly and unknowable nature of both the gender and individual, the pale blue represents the water cycle upon the Earth, and the de-saturated purple stripes represent the connection to being both genderless and androgynous, to varying degrees.
Creator's Note
This term was one that I actually made back in 2021 on the original LGBTA wiki before some terms were purged and management changed hands multiple times. Since the original coining, Genderseraph has been wiped from the wiki and, to my memory and current knowledge, had never been recorded anywhere outside LGBTA.
Due to this, I have altered zero wording from my original post in order to preserve my intentions at the time, as I do recall it was to add in my personal kintype associations on top of the original term.
Additionally, the flag above is a new, updated version created today with intentional flag coloring. The original flag I submitted for the term, featured on LGBTA here, was a color adjusted flag from the original Genderseraph page. Since it's been so long I do not have the flag that I took from or have any information about the original creator, so deepest apologies. If I'd known the site would nuke the original term, I would have looked into archiving it back when I was coining.
Petaffectis is a subset of Alteraffectis which describes how a domesticated pet would feel affection towards their owner(s) or human caretakers.
This term was coined with alterhumans, otherkin, pet regressors, copinglinkers and similar in mind.

Colors are in this order: cream, tan, brown, off-white, black, dark pink, peachy-pink. in the center of the flag is a white circle featuring a brown Alteraffectis symbol. The symbol is a diamond with a small circle centered vertically, slightly above where it would be if it was centered horizontally. Below and connected to the circle is a vertical line. Intersecting slightly above the end of the vertical line is a mirrored number 2, appearing correct on the left side but flipped on the right side. End ID]
A term for someone who is both Achilleangender and Genderfluid.
More broadly, this term is for any genderfluid individual who feels that their genders are intertwined with, or heavily influenced by, being achillean.
For some, they may also feel like their fluidity "range" is limited to those which could fall within the realm of being achillean.
The users of this label may or may not identify with more specific genderfluidity labels, such as boyfluid, gendertulip, afluid, etc. Prefixes/suffixes are welcome to be added, as preferred.
