PT/the alterous attraction flag/end PT

The Alterous Attraction Flag

Definition: Attraction that is not completely platonic, but also not romantic. For some it may be between the two, and for others it may be completely different from either. It’s typically defined by feelings of emotional closeness.

Alterous attraction is very similar but not identical to queerplatonic attraction.

PT/the pansexual flag/end PT

The Pansexual Flag

—Or simply “the pan flag”

Definition: A person who is attracted to all genders, often regardless of that person’s gender identity.

I sometimes hear people describe pansexual folks as being attracted to everyone. Then it gets taken a little too literally, and the other person ends up thinking they’re truly attracted to, well… everyone. No, pan folks aren’t attracted to literally every single person they’ve ever seen. What they do have is the possibility to be attracted to any person of any gender.

When hearing about pansexuality, you may come across the term “gender-blind”. While not everyone who is pan is gender-blind, many are - so I’ll explain. Being gender-blind means that they are attracted more to the person themself, the attraction paying little to no attention to the gender of that person. They aren’t attracted to gender, they’re attracted to the personality or the presentation and so-on.

PT/the bisexual flag/end PT

The Bisexual Flag

—Or simply ‘the bi flag’.

Definition: A person who is attracted to two or more genders.

The term bisexual is sometimes used as an umbrella term for multisexuality (the attraction to multiple genders).

A common misconception is that all bi people are attracted to both men and women. However, the definition simply states that it has to be two or more genders. Someone who is bi could only be attracted to women and genderfluid people, another bi person could be attracted to men, women, and nonbinary people. The term is rather versatile.

PT/the omnisexual flag/end PT

The Omnisexual Flag

—Or simply “the omni flag”

Definition: A person who is attracted to all genders, without being gender-blind.

While omnisexual and pansexual can and are often used interchangeably, technically they are not the same. Pansexuality has the possibility of gender-blind attraction, but omnisexual is specifically not gender-blind. This means that gender does play a role in their attraction to people. Not all pansexual people are gender-blind, but [almost] all omnisexual people are not gender-blind.

PT/Anattractional. A term for someone who experiences all types of attraction.

I’ve decided to coin two terms:

Omniallo. Definition.

Panallo. Definition.

Although I’m good at making higher resolution flags, I’m not so good at creating my own. If you have any ideas, feel free to comment, reblog, or DM me about it. /End PT

So there’s a term for when you don’t experience any kind of attraction: anattractional.

I experience pretty much all forms of attraction (to some degree). So I was thinking, what would be a term for someone who experiences all types of attraction?

I’ve decided to coin two terms:

Omniallo

Definition: A person who experiences all or most forms of attraction, including s*xual, romantic, queerplatonic, alterous, and all/most other forms of tertiary attraction.

Panallo

Definition: The same definition as omniallo, but the person also doesn’t prioritize any form of attraction or relationship. Attractional type-blind attraction.

Although I’m good at making higher resolution flags, I’m not so good at creating my own. If you have any ideas, feel free to comment, reblog, or DM me about it.

PT/the toric flag/end PT

The Toric Flag

—Aka the nblm flag

Definition: A nonbinary person who is attracted (typically exclusively) to men.

Some nonbinary people who’re attracted to men will refer to themselves as gay. Others may prefer to call themselves toric, or simply nblm (non binary loving men). It just depends on the person.

PT/the trixic flag/end PT

The Trixic Flag

—Aka the nblw flag

Definition: A nonbinary person who is attracted (typically exclusively) to women.

Some nonbinary people who’re attracted to women will refer to themselves as lesbian. Others may prefer to call themselves trixic, or simply nblw (non binary loving women). It just depends on the person.

★ Since I posted the nonbinary flag, I thought it would be fitting to go over some nonbinary-centered sexualities, before diving into our next topic - the asexual spectrum. More on asexuality coming soon. :)

PT/The gay flag/end PT

The Gay Flag

—Aka the mlm flag.

Definition: Any non-woman who is attracted (typically exclusively) to other non-women.

“Wait, isn’t the gay flag the rainbow flag?”

—Originally the gay flag was the rainbow one, but as time went on it became used as a broader symbol of the lgbtq+ community. These days the rainbow flag is simply used to signify the queer community as a whole. So this flag was made in addition specifically for gay men (and personally, as a gay guy, I quite like it).

PT/The lesbian flag/end PT

The Lesbian Flag

—Aka the wlw flag.

Definition: Any non-man who is attracted (typically exclusively) to other non-men.
