would it be alright to use gai and strayt if one is basically nonbinary but prefers to use genderqueer as a label? not sure if that's a generally ok thing to do or if it'd be better to find genderqueer-specific terms or make alternatives using the same definition but with "genderqueer" in place of "nonbinary". Asking because I found that terms through your blog btw

that would be fine for me (but I'm not the coiner). originally, it's defined as "feeling gay/straight in a nonbinary way". in my opinion, anyone can feel they're gay and/or straight "in a nonbinary way", that doesn't specify you're nonbinary. even binary people could feel that way, don't you agree?

many places you can find them being used as "nonbinary version of gay/straight". for example, there's a wiki using strayt as interchangeable synonym of enbyhet. I see there's an overlap between being a straight nonbinary person and being strayt. while some use them in identical ways, nonbinary/binaryn't people can feel their straight attraction in a binary way. or simply being "regular" hetero whose gender is nonbinary.

if a binary het or binary gay said to me they experience their gayness/straightness "in unconventional ways" and feel that strayt/gai resonate with them, I wouldn't worry about it.

but in lack of specific terms, there I would suggest coining something prefixed with neo- (like neopronouns, neoAGAB, neogender, neomale, neofeminine, neocis (neocisgender), etc.). for example, using "neogay", "neogai", "neogae", "neostraight", "neostrayt", "neohetero"/"neohet" would mean being a new type of gay/gai/gae or straight/strayt/het(ero). but that would only be useful if you prefer these instead of simply gai/strayt or gay/str8. quasi- is an alternative

genderqueer is often described as "noncisnormative" gender/identity. so if we use "nonbinary way" as the same thing as "noncisnormative way", that would allow you to be strayt/gai. but that's what I think and could be wrong. I'm just commenting and showing my perspectives/points of view.

also, if you think about "contradictory labels" (lesboy, turigirl, saphboy, mspec lesbian, lesbian trans man, etc), it depends on you if you are open to/accepting of these experiences.

If you ever want to send in notes aimed at my neos that’d be fun. I have a page for em on my blog for reference.

Also want to develop em more which notes might help

i just wanna ask these kinds of people if theyd really be okay with “orientations” being like that for gay or lesbian identities. like, oh no sorry im not GAY im... idk, neogay. its where you dont care about appearances and genitals dont play ANY part in my love 🙅‍♂️ not like the sex-obsessed gays amiright (except gay/neogay solidarity, guys!! we’re valid!!!)

it sounds fucking insane but thats whats happened here with bi/pan and i thought we all agreed that sexuality = broad sweeping gender categories that youre attracted to, NOT “im attracted to men on tuesdays only so im tuesomosexual and im only attracted to nb’s when they wear yellow clothing so im yellenbysexual thank you for respecting my sexuality :)”
