It is one thing if a non-binary person personally labels their relationship as such. However, the active neglect of non-binary specific labels is exorsexist, especially since sapphic/yuri is predominantly used to refer to feminine relationships and achillean/yaoi is predominantly used to refer to masculine relationships. (This is not to say sapphic and achillean can't refer to other gender types, but theres no denying the binary-centric history these terms hold within the community.)

Fandom spaces are even worse with this, treating all non-binary relationships as just sapphic-lite and achillean-lite.

If you are in a fandom, and you have a character with a non-binary ship, please promote non-binary language.

At the very least, please mix in non-binary language with your binary-centric terms (ie; a non-binary person who is dating a binary man, and prefers to be called a husband, while using terms such as toric or adonic for their relationship.)

Here are some terms used in the same way sapphic/yuri and achillean/yaoi are:

-Diamoric (A relationship that involves a non-binary person in some shape or form) -Trixic (NBLW) and Maedic (WLNB) -Toric (NBLM) and Adonic (MLNB) -Enbian (NBLNB) and Binitian (Binary Loving Non-binary)

Here are some terms used in the same way lesbian and uranian are:

-Feminamoric (non-binary person primarily attracted to women.) -Viramoric (non-binary person primarily attracted to men.) -Ceteramoric (non-binary person primarily attracted to other non-binary people.) -Tria (binary person primarily attracted to non-binary people. This could be any type of non-binary person, or specific types of non-binary people). Can be spelled alternatively based on attraction (ie; triasexual, triaromantic, triaplatonic, etc.)

Here are some terms used for dating/marriage:

-Bach/Bachlorex/Bachloree/Bachloren/Bachlorum (unmarried) -Partner/Joyfriend/Datefriend/Enbyfriend/Enfriend (dating) -Fiance/Nearlywed/Betrothed/Celebrant (engaged) -Marrier/Newlywed/Bridegroom/Brigroom/Gide (getting married) -Spouse/Wifeband/Huswife/Wifen/Husen/Wifet/Huset/Esso/Essie (married/spouse)

And while we're here, stop calling non-binary people "they/thems." Non-binary people do not all collectively use they/them pronouns, we can also use he/him, she/her, it/its, neopronouns, multiple pronouns, or even no pronouns. Our genders do not deserve to be boiled down to infantilizing language like "my little they."

When referring to a singular person, use the words non-binary person, enby, or enban.

quickly sketched this before going to sleep

don't worry, it's going to be fine, it has to be, there is no other choice. of course there will be ups and downs, but you'll get through it, I believe in you ^^

If you know where I got the "joy has a habit of returning" from, I'll give you a sugarcube
