Clearing up some useful terms!

Hello, today I’m going to be talking about X-l-X and the associated terms (the juvelic system)!

Most will already be familiar with terms like wlw, mlm, nblnb, but there are a whole slew more that combine identities. For example, someone who is attracted to women, and is both nonbinary and a woman (or nonbinary and woman-aligned) can use nblw, wlw, AND nbwlw!

Most will also be familiar with terms like sapphic for wlw, achillean for mlm, but there are many more for each different X-l-X! This is called the juvelic system, and it can be a very handy way of saying both your gender and attraction in one word! Of course, there’s always nuance, but I find these terms are not just helpful but often pretty, as quite a few are named after astronomical objects and gemstones! This post has a good table of those identities as well as some definitions, but I figured I should go through them! More under the cut :)

If you id solely as a man: 

mlm - achillean mlw - duaric (romeric) mlnb - astrodian or adonic mlm & mlnb - asterosian mlnb & mlw - litian mlm & mlw - rochillic mlm & mlw & mlnb - marblic or astronic

If you id solely as a woman:

wlw - sapphic wlm - duaric (julietian) wlnb - aesterian or maedic wlw & wlnb - agatic wlw & wlm - salietian wlnb & wlm - citrinian wlw & wlm & wlnb - taaffetian

if you id solely as enby:

nblnb - enbian nblw - trixic or orbsian nblm - toric or quadrisian nblw & nblm - scapolitian nblw & nblnb - brownitian or ammolic or ametrian nblm & nblnb - carnelian nblw & nblm & nblnb - versian or jaspian

If you id as both a man and an enby:

mlm & nblm - azurian mlm & nblm & mlw & nblw - lapian mlm & mlnb & nblm & nblnb - opalian mlnb & mlm & mlw & nblnb & nblm & nblw - courscatian mlnb & nblnb - turquoian mlnb & nblnb & mlw & nblw - spinelian mlw & nblw - umbalian

If you id as both a woman and an enby:

wlw & nblw - axinitian wlw & wlnb & nblw & nblnb - iridian wlw & wlm & wlnb & nblw & nblm & nblnb - luminian wlm & nblm - rubian wlw & wlm & nblw & nblm - callistian wlnb & nblnb - hecatolic wlm & wlnb & nblm & nblnb - aventurian

If you id as both a man and a woman:

mlm & wlm - diamondian wlw & wlm & mlm & mlw - anfisian wlm & wlnb & mlm & mlnb - alexandritic wlw & mlm & mlw & wlm & mlnb & wlnb - serendibitian wlnb & mlnb - topazian wlw & wlnb & mlw & mlnb - benitoitic wlw & mlw - larimarian

If you id as a man, a woman, and an enby:

mlm & wlm & nblm - fluorian mlm & wlw & mlw & wlm & nblm & nblw - aurian mlm & wlm & mlnb & wlnb & nblm & nblnb - labradorian wlm & wlw & wlnb & mlm & mlnb & mlw & nblm & nblw & nblnb - pearlian nblnb & wlnb & mlnb - kyanitian nblnb & wlnb & mlnb & nblw & wlw & mlw - iolitian wlw & mlw & nblw - morganitian

And that’s all 49 juvelic identities! I myself use versian to describe myself, although pearlian is also an accurate descriptor. On this blog, I try to focus on people who are both nonbinary and pan, and versian, pearlian, and for some nonbinary people, anfisian, courscatian, luminian, and serendibitian all fit that bill! Of course, there are plenty for any variety of non-pan enbies, and a few for non-enby pans (taaffetian, marblic)!

So you see, the juvelic system can be very useful! Of course, no one has to adopt these terms or replace their labels with these, but I feel it creates a nice blend of everything. I suppose the one issue it has is no inclusion of those who identify with no gender, like agender or neutrois people, but, like everything else, that can change! The juvelic system is particularly well suited to change like that. Additionally, there is no indication if an attraction is sexual or not, thereby excluding aces and aros. For those reasons, I feel this system is best utilized alongside rather than replacing traditional labels. Also, I am, as I’m sure many of you are, quite attached to the labels I use, and wouldn’t want to give them up for a new system, but regardless, I use it alongside the labels pan and nonbinary.

I hope this was informative and helpful, and may have helped some people find new labels or terms. On a closing note, nbandproud, the OP of the post about juvelic identities I linked to at the beginning, created some symbols for a few of the identities listed in this post, and I myself use their versian symbol (see DNI banner and icon). I would be open to creating some more if anyone would like to request, and not just for the juvelic system but for anything really! Thanks for reading.
