ALTID
pt: altid
altID/altidenity
altID is meant to be a discourse neutral alternative to transID for anyone who might feel uncomfortable with the trans- prefix, community surrounding it, or wants a label for their identity that doesn't have a focus on transition
it's called altID because it's an identity that's alternative to what society views you as
original coining post !! ← putting this here so that it's possibly easier to search for
symbols
genuinely going to personally just start replacing any transx terms i relate to with my own term, Ontohope.
Not because im anti all transx terms, im very neutral leaning pro on all nonharmful ones, but because honestly? 1 i dont like the sound, transx sounds so clunky to me... 2 the community itself holds alot of negative memories with me, and unfortunately does trigger me due to that and 3 i think it's a better descriptor for how it feels to us,
so take a nonofficial coining post, I might make another post later on that includes a flag, but here's a little definition
Ontohope - An Identity referring to the hoping/longing of something your being - that being your physical body, or your identity - does not have. This can be nearly anything.
Ontohope does not claim the user IS that thing, however experiences a longing to be, and in cases where appropriate, would like to transition to such thing. Ontohope also supports all types of dysphoria, but not all types of transitions.
Ontohope doesn't include folk who want to transition to things that would be harmful for them or others, but instead is pro-healing from such feelings, and finding alternatives to relieve dysphoria. ( example . Cane User Ontohope would be reccomended to getting a walking stick, preferably bought from a thrift store/nonmedical shop, but discouraged taking medical resources nor harming themselves to transition ).
X Ontohope = used to specify what the user long for. ( Example . We are Love Ontohope, we hold a longing to be the concept of love. )
im very curious as to what others thing of this, so feel free to tell me if you like it 💕
I will add Transid folk can interact and even use these terms ofcourse, however do be aware we hold bad memories when it comes to your community, and we block freely. Though we do love y'all despite ❤️.
So, I need advice on something
I found a transid that resonates with something I’ve tried looking into (the term is transcharacter btw). Every once in a while, I get a random urge to try and convince myself to become a fictional character (usually a different one every time except for two times). I feel uncomfortable with anything rad queer or transid related so I wanted to know if there was an alternate term for wanting to become a fictional character that isn’t attached to transid’s
I also don’t know much about these types of terms, so any advice is much appreciated! I’m still not 100% sure if these types of identities are for me, but I’m just curious if there’s any non harmful terms for this

Flag under the cut!
THIS IS OUTDATED AND SHOULD NOT BE USED. i was uneducated on transIDs when i made the voleaic term!
voleaic identities - terms using vol prefixes/suffixes
what are voleaic identities? - voleaic identities are for those who are yearning or hoping to be something. for example, someone who wants to be an idol may call themself volidol/idolvol, and someone who wants to be a vampire may call themself volvampire/vampirevol. voleaic identities are inherently queer.
what aren't voleaic identities? - voleaic identities are not transIDs. unlike transIDs, voleaic identities aren't related to gender. however, users of voleaic identities may feel that their voleaic identity plays a role in their gender or that their gender plays a role in their voleaic identity. voleaic identities do not include those who yearn to be harmed or harmful, or those who wish to be a different race.
why "vol"? - vol is used in many languages to mean a want or desire (i.e. french "vouloir" or italian "volere"). some romance languages use a derivative of the word velle to express a wish for something.
about the flag & symbolism - the voleaic flag is intentionally complicated to show the complexity of queer identities. blue was chosen to symbolize hopefulness. a blue forget-me-not sits in the upper center of the flag, which symbolizes yearning (a hopeful wanting). the rainbow near the bottom of the flag symbolizes queer identities.
⋆｡₊˚ﾟ. Asphejapanese
Asphejapanese is an Asphetic term that refers to when one desires to transition to being partially/fully Japanese. You can do this by learning about Japanese culture, engaging with Japanese culture, and generally interacting with Japanese media and the culture. Remember to avoid culture appropriation and respect Japan and it’s culture!
The flag’s colors, blue, gold, red, white, and black are colors that are considered lucky in Japan! The item in the middle is an omamori or a Japanese lucky charm. The writing says ‘safe’ to represent Aspheta’s non harmful transitioning.
AspheLolita - An asphetic/aspheta term for when one desires to become, wear, or connect with the Lolita aesthetic. This identity may be transitioned to by dressing in Lolita-inspired clothes, interacting with others from the subculture, or supporting Lolita creators and businesses. This is NOT done by pretending to be Japanese, sexualizing minors, bleaching one's skin, or anything else harmful or culture-appropriating.
AspheFrystance - An asphetic/aspheta term for when one desires to identify with the blankstance term frystance. This ID may be transitioned to by using similar blankstance terms, learning about frystance beliefs, collecting or making french fry related art, or generally avoiding discourse for mental-health reasons. This is NOT done by harassing others who disagree with frystance beliefs, harmfully lying about one's opinions, or anything else harmful.
AspheSelf-harm / AspheSH - An asphetic/aspheta term for when one desires to self-harm. This identity may be transitioned to by supporting those who self-harm, respectfully interacting with pro-recovery self-harm communities, or educating themself or others on self-harm. This is NOT done by physically hurting themself or others, pretending to experience self-harm, or lying to therapists or doctors about one's actions.
AspheBPD - An asphetic/aspheta term for when one desires to have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). This identity may be transitioned into by learning about BPD, respectfully interacting with persodivergent or Cluster B communities, or supporting or advocating for others with BPD. This is NOT done by lying to doctors for a diagnosis, telling people they mentally have BPD when they don't, attempting to force oneself into showing symptoms, or anything else harmful.
aaaaa first coin on this account!! I hope party enjoys this :)
⋆｡₊˚ﾟ. Aspheta / Asphetic
Aspheta is a term that originates from the ancient Greek words ‘asphaleia’ which means ‘safe’ and ‘meta’ which means ‘change’. Together, when translated, they mean ‘Safe change’ or ‘Safe transition’. Aspheta is an alternate to transids that promotes safe and non-harmful transitioning. The top of the flag is a rainbow from red to pink and the bottom is the same but inverted to represent change. The symbol is the Greek Delta, which represents change, primarily in mathematical equations. In order to create an Asphetic term, just add ‘asphe’ to the start. Example; asphejapanese.
