Some nonbinary orientations based on ma- / woma- / enba- ! ✲ﾟ｡.(✿╹◡╹)☆.*ﾟ✲

So basically, attraction to [gender] without specifying the user's gender, or whether they consider their attraction gay/straight/etc. Anyone of any gender can use these.

I know there are some specific nonbinary orientations (though they are still not as well known / harder to find than man/woman focused orientations), but I didn't know of any in this format. I wanted some matching ones for specific (nonbinary) genders, so here they are :3

(Enba- could be used, if they consider themselves nonbinary, but again, I wanted specific ones too. Also, I use nonbinary as a shorthand, but someone doesn't have to consider themselves nonbinary in addition to the specific labels listed to use these.)

The terms are prefixes, I listed sexual and romantic variants as examples, but they can be used for any attraction type, e.g. alterous, platonic, sensual, aesthetic, tertiary, emotional, physical, etc.

I'm pretty sure the etymology of ma- and woma- is based on man and woman, but without the N. So I followed that idea for my terms, using their respective equivalents to man/woman and removing the N at the end. Specifically, I chose equivalents that would end in A, to match how ma- and woma- end in A.

I couldn't figure out the names for some, and requested those term names from @your-bigender-big-brother (thanks :)

The flags are pretty simple, I just followed the format of the ma- / woma- / enba- flags (five stripes, 4 gradient colours with plain white at the bottom).

The colours are inspired by their common flags.

Specifically though, I use my (alt) abinary, midbinary, atrinary, midtrinary, trinary, and aporagender flags.

And for anga-, to make it more visually distinct from midbinary and binary, I just used shades of purple, instead of the three colours of the original androgyne flag. I did make the purples gradient in hue, so there's bluish purple and pinkish purple, to kind of reference the blue and pink in the original androgyne flag.

Oh and the white of atra- was altered to be lightly yellow, to match how my atrinary flag uses yellow white instead of plain white. It's also a thing I've been doing for many other atrinary related flags. I think it's a cute detail.

-

I'm not really good at coining terms, so I hope the names are okay, and the flags aren't too generic looking / undistinctive.

I will literally never forget in 2018 when they had to build a gym/playground for kea while they did construction in Fiordland, because otherwise the kea kept stealing road cones and other equipment.

Playtime for young kea birds! There’s a benefit to this apparently carefree behavior. It helps establish long-lasting relationships between the youngsters and even diffuses tension. David Attenborough | BBC Earth

What about your naughtiest, most chaotic birds?

NAUGHTY AND CHAOTIC BIRDS!!!

Keas are well known for getting into all kinds of shenanigans... untying peoples shoelaces, getting into their purses bags and pockets, pulling things off of peoples cars...

Kea (Nestor notabilis), family Strigopidae, found on the South Island of New Zealand

ENDANGERED.

A few ornithologists place this genus in its own family, Nestoridae, but this has not been widely adopted by ornithologists.

Red sunset and sickle Moon provide a backdrop to the giant basaltic shield volcano of Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Fine volcanic dust particles pumped into the atmosphere by the 1991 eruption of Mt Pinatubo and dispersed by strong winds created this spectacular sunset worldwide.
