Hi, I’m sorry, I make bad jokes. 🥲

Erranboric Pride Flag

Erranboric or eranboric/eransboric: an umbrella term for those who are not attracted to non-binary people anymore; a label in which one's enboric attraction has partially or fully vanished.

This includes, for example: pluralians with latent or dormant attraction towards enbies; binsexual disexual folk who used to be attracted to nby people but realized they are strictly boric/noenboric after all; erraspec people; binians (BLB), nibians (NBLB/NLB), trixamorics (XLBW), and toramorics (XLBM) who were enboric in the past.

Alternative language for biology of sex without using "hermaphrodite"

So, you're worldbuilding a scifi alien species or a fantasy race that can reproduce as both male and female. Or you're a biologist or science educator. And you want what you're writing/making to be inclusive to intersex people.

The term hermaphrodite in biology refers to species that can reproduce as both male or female. The problem is it's also a slur when used against intersex people (it's also incorrect - we're not hermaphrodites). I recently polled other intersex folks informally and a plurality were fine with the h-word being used with the correct meaning in appropriate contexts. But the qualitative feedback I got was, all things equal, most people who wrote to me said they'd just be happier seeing the term less.

So here is a glossary of words you can use to talk about the biology of sex without invoking the h-word:

Gonochoric species where individuals (typically) reproduce only as either male or female. This means the species produces two types of gametes that have different sizes, and conventionally the larger is female. Gono- for generation/reproduction and -choric for separated/distinct. Note that "non-gonochoric" includes both hermaphroditic species and those that can reproduce asexually (e.g. parthenogenesis).

Gonosyne: species where individuals (typically) can reproduce as both male or female. Gono- for generation/reproduction and syne for together/combined. This is a term I have coined to be an alternative to hermaphrodite.

Types of gonosyny: it's common to categorize different forms of gonosyny based on temporality and how many gonads an individual has.

Grouping by Temporality:

Cosex: species where individuals can reproduce as both male and female simultaneously. Alternative terms: cosexual, simultaneous hermaphrodism. For example: land snails/slugs typically mate by linking up both pairs of genitals.

Dichosex: gonosynic species where individuals reproduce as male and female at different times in their lives. Protandrous species start as male then switch to female; protogynous start female then switch to male. Some species cycle between the two (serial/bidirectional hermaphrodism/disexuality). Alternative terms: dichosexual, dichogamous, sequential hermaphrodism. I coined this one after feedback that "dichogamous" was not intuitive to non-botanists, keeping dicho- (in two parts/paired) for simplicity. Example animal: clownfish (the Finding Nemo fish).

Grouping by Gonads:

Digonic: species that can reproduce as both male and female because they have separate male and female gonads. Digony can be cosex or dichosex. In botany the term monoecious is used for flowering plants. For example: barnacles have their ovaries in the base of their body, and testes in the back of their head.

Syngonic: species that can reproduce as both male and female, because their gonads can produce both male and female gametes. Alternative terms: syncoecious, monoclinous, ambisexual. (Note ambisexual has other meanings.) Syngony can be cosex or dichosex. In dichosexual species the gonad changes which gametes it produces when the individual changes sex. For example: land slugs have a single gonad (ovotestis).

Together this makes four categories. Examples come from: Sex change in plants and animals: a unified perspective.

Syngonic cosexual. Simultaneous gonosyny within the same flower/gonad. Examples: Black-jack daisy, Lady of the Night cactus; mangrove killifish, stubby-root nematode.

Syngonic dichosexual. Non-simultaneous gonosyny within the same flower/gonad. Examples: Bromelia chrysantha, grape ivy; California sheephead fish, common limpet.

Digonic cosexual. Simultaneous gonosyny from different flowers/gonads. Examples: bitter melon, jaraguá grass; barnacles, flatworms.

Digonic dichosexual. Non-simultaneous gonosyny from different flowers/gonads. Examples: papaya, catsfoot; staghorn coral, earthworm.

Hope this is helpful! I have two little notes I want to add on: Note on "non-gonochoric": it's possible this could also include isogamous speries? There's some ambiguity in use. Isogamy refers to sexual reproduction where you don't have two different sized gametes - instead it's two identically sized gametes that are getting combined. This is the standard amongst unicellular eukaryotes and very common in fungi.

Note on ambisexual: this is the term that Ursula K LeGuin used for the dichosexual aliens in the Left Hand of Darkness. The term in biology these days refers to undifferentiated (immature) tissue that has yet to develop into a given sex - e.g. a human embryo has ambisexual gonads until sexual differentiation later on in development. The term ambisexual has a ton of other meanings in other contexts such as a sexual orientation. For this reason I'd personally avoid it.

Hey! you might remember me lol

In my last ask, I mentioned that I'm working on a nonfiction book. It's for the mogai community, and everyone who wishes to understand it.

I wanted to know if you know of any other multi-orientations that most people might have not heard of?

I'm asking you cuz I recently learned about duo because of you.

You can just ignore this if this isn't what your blog is really for, I just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask💖

*rubs hands together* this is gonna be a long post

Ambisexual - a subset of bisexual in which the individual is attracted to similar and dissimilar genders to themselves

Disexual - the attraction to exactly 2 genders, this doesn't necessarily have to be men and women, it can be any 2 genders

Binsexual - the attraction to both men and women, not necessarily the same as bisexual

Amoveosexual - the attraction to both men and women but the individual has such a heavy preference that they're constantly questioning their orientation, said preference is also fluid, it could be similar to homo/heteroflexible

Bicatgendersexual - the attraction to 2 (or more) catgenders, this is not to be confused with zoophilia or bestiality

Binotrix - a term for bi or otherwise mspec individuals who are not attracted to women, could be considered a combination of bi and nowomasexual

Binitor - a term for bi or otherwise mspec individuals who are not attracted to men, could be considered a combination of bi and nomasexual

Deunisexual - the attraction to all but 1 gender, could be considered a form of polysexual

Differosexual - the attraction to multiple genders that differ from ones own

Hexasexual - the attraction to any 6 genders

Legeresexual - experiencing attraction to multiple genders but only engaging with one of those genders

Lessexual - the attraction to mainly men and women, but could also experience attraction to any nonbinary genders

Multasexual - the attraction to anybody who has multiple genders identities

Parosexual - the attraction to multiple genders but experiencing different attraction to each, for example being allosexual towards men but greysexual towards women

Duosexual - being 2 orientations at once

Pollosexual - being multiple orientations at once

Pencontrasexual - the attraction to every gender except the one that can be considered the opposite of ones own

Penultisexual - the attraction to all genders except ones own

Quadsexual - the attraction to any 4 genders

Trisexual - the attraction to any 3 genders

Quattoursexual - the attraction to binary genders and demiboys and demigirls

Quintsexual - the attraction to any 5 genders

Spectrasexual - the attraction to many genders that vary on the gender spectrums

Sumisexual - similar to abrosexual, but only fluid through mspec orientations

Similosexual - the attraction to multiple genders that are similar to ones own

Torensexual - the attraction to nonbinary people and men

Trixensexual - the attraction to nonbinary people and women

There are many more ones that you can find here!

oh youre bisexual ? well I'm actually disexual. so.

[rooktheroo]

"Disexual" is once every other sexual, not to be confused with "diesexual," which is attraction to ttrpg characters.

There's a lot of discourse about what the label "bisexual" really means so I'd like to clarify that "bisexual" means that it occurs twice per sexual, NOT once every other sexual.

[merriment-fl]

Di- the prefix meaning "double" now gives phrasing to the stereotypical slutty bisexual.

Disexuals: for what every fuckboy and set of conservative parents think every bi girl is like

[anaalnathrakhs]

Alternative Multioriented-Spectrum System (AMSS)

Are YOU tired of panphobia in the bi community and biphobia in the pan community? Are YOU tired of discourse about what each label means? Worry no more my friend, your friendly neighborhood m-spec person is here to help. 

Three words to define your m-spec orientation without decades of more-or-less trans-friendly/nonbinary-friendly history behind them

Di- (disexual, diromantic, diplatonic, disensual, etc)

From ancient greek δι, meaning “two” or “double”

Attraction to two genders

Holo- (holosexual, holoromantic, holoplatonic, holosensual, etc)

From ancient greek ὅλος, meaning “whole”

Attraction to all genders

Pluri- (plurisexual, pluriromantic, pluriplatonic, plurisensual, etc)

From latin��plures, meaning “numerous” or “multiple”

Attraction to multiple genders, but neither less than three nor all of them

If you don’t want to use these terms for any reason you may want to check the Juvelic System, to encompass both your orientation and your gender identity/a simplification of your gender identity.

If you see a problem with this system, or have any question about it, please feel free to send an ask to my blog or a pm. 

If you decide to coin more terms fitting in the AMSS/design a flag or multiple flagsfor these words, please tag me or send me a link, I’d love to see this!

Please note that none of these definitons indicate how I define their equivalents in the traditional m-spec system. I do not think every bioriented person is attracted to exactly two genders (and/or that these genders are men and women). 

[the-inept-artist]

I just realized...

The prefix di can mean two as well as bi

So when you’re feeling fluffy and cute, you’re bisexual

And when you’re feeling like a badass who can kick ass, you’re disexual
