As per my last email... I'm coining the therioromantic label, and its new flag.
THERIOROMANTIC: A label for those who, for any reason, have a preference for or exclusivity towards therian and therian-adjacent individuals in romantic relationships. This could include otherkin and alterhumanity as a whole, or solely therian or non-human identifying individuals.
The green is the same hex as the aromantic flag, representing aromanticism towards human identifying individuals.
The pale yellow represents romantic expression towards non/alterhumanity.
The white recognises Romanticism as a spectrum, and recognises other expressions of romanticism such as Queer-platonic romance, pack-romance, demiromantic and aroflux individuals as well as alloromantics (and all other expressions of romantic relationships).
The deep purple is the same purple as in the alterhuman inclusive flag, and represents the full spectrum of alterhumanity, so can be used for otherkin and other alterhumans interchangeably, not just therianthropes.
The deep midnight purple line recognises sexuality is its own spectrum, and that individuals who use this flag may or may not also be theriosexual. I've not established a flag for this yet but may do if this becomes popular!
I developed this flag because I feel my romantic identity is strongly interlinked with my alterhumanity, and that gender identity is less important to me than species identity. I cannot love like a human anymore due to trauma, and feel that there may be alterhumans out there who feel the same.
Let me know what you think 🐺 ❤️
