A category groups things that share a commonality despite their differences. The differences coexist within that commonality without redefining the category.

Other similarities coexist within, and without, the commonality without redefining the category either. The fact that it doesn't redefine the category does not mean those similarities don't hold significance of their own.

If not for the commonality, it wouldn't be a category. If not for the differences, it wouldn't be a category either.

Okay? Cool

Asexuality = experiencing little to no sexual attraction

QUICK! SOMEONE PLEASE EDUCATE ME ON THE ASPEC SPECTRUM! PLEASE

[marxm-03]

Hey Yall-

I have been thinking about my asexual identity recently. I've never really identified with the word, or even any microlabels within it. I've always just said ace due to the complexity of my emotions. I've always just said,

"I'm ace until I'm not (but only for my bf, otherwise I'm just ace)".

I have not found a single term completely describing how I feel. I've found multiple different ones that describe bits and pieces, but never the whole story. I recently found 2 to add on to my 3rd label to completely describe how I feel, and they are the terms Cupiosexual and Reciprosexual- along with the term Demisexual that I've already sort of identified with.

Since I couldn't find a label, I've decided to make one for myself.

If anyone relates or likes the label/ flag, please let me know. I'd love to share. Also let me know if you come up with any ideas for it, like a better name or flag addition. But I made this for my own peace. Anyways, I introduce a new ace umbrella microlabel-

ROMISEXUAL

([row- mee- sexual] prefix- romi; mix of romance, reciprocate, demi)

-When one only feels sexual attraction when it is reciprocated or initiated by someone they have a deep connection with. A sexual relationship may occur as a result, but is not required.

Color meanings:

Black- Asexuality

Royal Blue- Deep connection or relations

Lavender- reciprocated affection or attraction

White- Sexuality

There's also a version with the cupiosexual symbol, indicating want for a sexual relationship with asexuality or no sexual attraction otherwise:

I am very proud of the colors and meanings and I'm so happy to have something to finally describe me. I hope this can make some others happy too!

🌕

New term: Quot!

Quot: someone who feels there sexuality/gender identity can’t be described in simple words such as “lesbian” “bisexual” “gay” or “transgender”, the word quot comes from the word “quotation mark” because quotic identifies often need a lot of quotation marks when someone is explaining the identity. the “Q” was added to represent these more complex and hard to explain identities, but queer is an umbrella term for all lgbtq people where as Quot is for people who have complex identities. Quot is different from pomosexuality, pomosexuality is a sexual orientation where as Quot is an umbrella term. the rainbow flag is a symbol of the LGBTQ community so i decided to put it as the flag.

-raleous/-rleous/-aleous (suffixes) or parallelous/paralelous (adjectives)

Definition: a modifier expressing a certain gender is equally distant from one another at all points

PT. Definition: a modifier expressing a certain gender is equally distant from one another at all points.

Antiparallel equivalent: -tileous (antiparalelous/antiparallelous)

-pencular (suffix) or pendriclear (adjective)

Definition: a modifier expressing a certain gender is perpendicular (orthogonal/transversal) to another.

PT. Definition: a modifier expressing a certain gender is perpendicular (orthogonal/transversal) to another.

Usage examples: my gender is pendriclear; I'm feeling parallelous today; boypencular, girlpencular, neupencular; maveriquerleous, girlaleous, maleraleous.

These are all up to the user's interpretation. What it means to have an orthogonal gender is descriptively figurative. They could be used in the same way as antigender while not technically that (unless the user wants it to be).

It could also be a gender replication too (such as minigender without the size-specific part).

Comment: the parallelous suffix for aporagender could be inconsistent, but the more harmonious to the user, the better, so I can see them choosing aporarleous or aporaraleous over aporaleous because of apogender implication. However, I think they are allowed to pick what's best for them if it fits.

is girlflux trans?? It's not right? Cause I said I was genderqueer once (easier than explaining girlflux) and then someone said "this trans person" it makes sense in the context I swear

Anyway.like I'm not right? cause I'm still a girl but umbrella terms confuse me

Since I've been a little child I have been told that Chinese would become one of the most important languages and that I should learn it etc. This is why it's so funny that Chinese is becoming so much more important, not because of the work force, no, but because tiktok will be banned and people were like "aight, bet" and downloaded rednote, a clearly Chinese app

Humanity has always been petty and I live for it

Quotes from Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender by Kit Heyam

“The second problem with our existing criteria for inclusion in ‘trans history’ is that they privilege an incredibly narrow version of what it means to be trans. The trans histories we tend to tell are those that conform to the trans narrative that’s centered and recapitulated in contemporary media. The non-binary writer and activist Jacob Tobia, in their memoir Sissy: A Coming-Of-Gender Story,…

When we talk about Stonewall this month, let's not forget to talk about how the entire thing was sparked by the arrest of a butch transmasculine lesbian- Stormé DeLarverie, a mixed drag king, who fought back against the cop who was violently arresting her for crossdressing.

Drag queens and trans women deserve recognition for their role in the Stonewall uprisings, and so do butches & transmascs. We all fought for each other.

When people say "I don't want my child to be exposed to LGBTQ+ media because it will turn them gay" they actually mean "I don't want my child to be exposed to LGBTQ+ media because it might help them realize that they're gay".
