the kindest kind of unkindness

(the link in case tumblr's being difficult)

yeah i think mogaixenohypic would work! you could use the center flag for that, i also made a combo one here:

idefemmeman | ideflamboriman

idefemmeman(/boy/guy): a man who would ideally present in a femme and/or feminine way to express their gender nonconformity, nonbinary identity, orientation, etc., but feels dysphoric, worried about being misgendered, or otherwise uncomfortable when actually presenting that way

ideflamboriman(/boy/guy): a man who would ideally present in a flamboric way to express their gender nonconformity, nonbinary identity, orientation, etc., but feels dysphoric, worried about being misgendered, or otherwise uncomfortable when actually presenting that way

for anon! these terms are similar to idesheman and idesheturian and use the same top two stripes to represent maleness and middle stripe to represent ambition/desire (and potentially gender nonconformity/nonbinary identity depending on the user). the bottom two stripes are from/inspired by the femme flag and flamboric flag respectively!

flag id: the flag on the left has 5 stripes. in order, they are light blue, blue, dark purple, dark pink-purple, and peach. the flag on the left has 5 stripes. in order, they are light blue, blue, dark purple, bright pink-purple, and gold. end id.

agedreboy | agedremasc agedregirl | agedrefem agedrenby | agedreneu

agedreboy(/guy/man): an umbrella term for age dreamers who gender either entirely, partially, or temporarily changes to be (more) male when they dream

agedremasc(uline): an umbrella term for age dreamers who gender either entirely, partially, or temporarily changes to be (more) masculine when they dream

agedregirl(/gal/woman): an umbrella term for age dreamers who gender either entirely, partially, or temporarily changes to be (more) female when they dream

agedrefem(inine): an umbrella term for age dreamers who gender either entirely, partially, or temporarily changes to be (more) feminine when they dream

Your identity politics can not stop the butch bisexual who has been beaten and called a dyke from reclaiming her identity and from being a part of our community.

Your hatred of men can not stop the transgender man who has been raped and called a dyke from reclaiming his identity and being a part of our community, you can not deny that they have helped to build the dyke community and identity.

Your disgust of the transmasculine stone butch lesbian can not stop him from discarding womanhood and embracing butchness and dykeness as his gender and identity, he himself built the dyke community you stand on.

Your transmisogyny can not stop the transfem nonbinary dyke from reclaiming their identity as they are spat on and called a faggot, they have every right to stand in out community and embrace their identity, to reclaim the word and identity that has been withheld from them, on the basis of assumed genitals.

You can not put an end to the genderqueer femme and zir pronouns and their identity, as they are attacked from all sides, called a dyke and confused woman, zey are with us.

Felt like experimenting with the idea of a spectrum to describe the phenomena of nonhumanity or related things, as only having labels to work off of has its pitfalls when so many overlap. And so, the KINsey scale was born. Intended to be used per each identity/kintype. Feel free to reply or reblog with your own personal codes! My bonobo type is 3E-F5orange (tho that does fluctuate a bunch). Further explanation of my reasoning behind this....

dear my mogai besties,

pls source ur words from languages u dont speak wisely!!! /nm

ive been seeing a lot of words in some of the cointober posts that arent from the languages the coiner says they are

some languages dont have translations for certain words, like haunted and chocolate! for example, latin doesnt have a classic example of either of these words!

latin is a slippery slope, dont fall for the google results, because as a student of latin for over 2 years, i know when something is and isnt latin!

again this is /nm and /lh but like, yes, source ur words!

here are some resources i use:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page (i edit here!!! i provide latin stuff there!!!!!)

https://www.lexilogos.com/english/index.htm (leads to a lot of good dictionaries online, be wary of some because they may not be fully accurate, if u need me to check something, just send me an ask!)

here are some sources NOT to use:

google translate (95% of the time)

wordhippo (around 70% of the time)

examples of the above not giving great words:

some terms, like in latin, have more than one meaning, and don’t get terms mixed up!

for example: english has the word “spring”

ask: which context am i talking about it in?

‘spring’ as in “hot spring?” -> fons (also means fountain)

‘spring’ as in “springtime?” -> vernus or ver

‘spring’ as in jumping? -> salio, salto

note: this is minor, but using the wrong term in a gender can become inaccurate if you’re trying to cite it. wiktionary has specific translation drop-down bars on common english words that allow you to find accurate definitions.

example: 

Try to find more than one source. Referencing many different sources in general is always a good way to check that the information you’re getting is accurate.

Cite your sources! This isn’t strictly required, but at the very least explaining the thought process behind your term under a read more is extremely helpful. Not only does it provide context to your term and allow community archivists to record and preserve accurate information about it, it allows other people to let you know if you’ve accidentally made a mistake or used an inaccurate source. As wiki contributors, we would really appreciate it.

Many Latin sources, including ones that are otherwise perfectly good and helpful, mix up the letter “U” and “V” a lot. Most of the time they either replace all “U”s with “V”s or vice versa. There is a logical reason for this, but for the sake of linguistics and transliterating to English, it isn’t accurate. A big red flag is lots of Latin words that start with the letter “U” or that have the letter “V” in the middle of them, as that is fairly rare. You’ll know this is what’s happening if you see large chunks of Latin text that contain only the letter “U” without the letter “V” or vice versa. This is also one of the reason why multiple sources are important.

Like OP mentioned, there are many English words that are identical in spelling but have completely different meanings. However, the same can be said even more in Latin. Latin is, in terms of number of words alone, a much smaller language than English is, and has far more homonyms. Latin words can in many cases have five or more completely different English meanings. This is important in the context of using Latin words to create and English term because using a word with many different meanings can lead to confusion. Latin homonyms are often translated based on things like context, so you’ll have to pay attention to the other parts of your term when using them.

there are a lot of different neo-pronouns n not all of them are used exactly the same. i don't think i can explain every neo-pronoun in one post, but here are some examples on how to use some of the more common ones!!

❁✿❁

xe/xem/xyr/xyrs/xemself

here's an example!! if you wanted to say:

"he wanted to go to the park so i went with him. his hat blew away. somebody found a hat and asked if it was his, but it wasn't, so he had to buy a new hat for himself."

using xe/xem pronouns, that would be:

"xe wanted to go to the park so i went with xem. xyr hat blew away. somebody found a hat and asked if it was xyrs, but it wasn't, so xe had to buy a new hat for xemself."

❁✿❁

if you look up "how to use xe/xem pronouns" on the internet, you'll find lots of example sentences n probably some more in-depth explanations!! the same goes for any other pronouns you're not sure how to use yet.

❁✿❁

ey/em/eir/eirs/emself

here's an example!! to say:

"she likes flowers, so i gave her some. her vase was broken so she had to use one that wasn't hers. she was happy i gave her flowers, because she was too tired to pick flowers herself."

using ey/em pronouns, you would say:

"ey likes flowers, so i gave em some. eir vase was broken so ey had to use one that wasn't eirs. ey was happy i gave em flowers, because ey was too tired to pick flowers emself."

❁✿❁

many people who use neo-pronouns also have a set of "aux pronouns", also known as "alternate pronouns". these are pronouns that they like less than their main pronouns, but are still comfortable with being referred to by.

for example, my main pronouns right now are "peach/peaches/peachself" but my aux pronouns are "they/them". if you just have with neo-pronouns, you may use the person's aux pronouns instead. however, if possible for you, it's best to use their main pronouns.

❁✿❁

other common neo-pronouns you might want to research how to use:

fae/faer/faers/faerself

fae likes to take faer dog on a walk every day. once i offered to do it for faer, but fae wanted to do it faerself because the dog is faers.

ze/zir/zirs/zirself

ze likes to take zir dog on a walk every day. once i offered to do it for zir, but zir wanted to do it zirself because the dog is zirs.

it/its (not technically a neo-pronoun, but widely used)

it likes to take its dog on a walk every day. once i offered to do it for it, but it wanted to do it itself because the dog is its.

❁✿❁

a common mistake made when using neo-pronouns n other non-standard pronouns is using apostrophes in the wrong places!!! for example:

“that is faers” is correct, “that is faer's” is incorrect.

“that is its” is correct, “that is it's” is incorrect.

“that is zirs” is correct, “that is zir's” is incorrect.

only use an apostrophe when there’s a contraction!! for example: faer’s late again. (faer is late again) it’s already gone home. (it has already gone home) zir’s not feeling very well. (zir is not feeling very well) ❁✿❁ noun-self and emoji-self pronouns:

noun-self pronouns and emoji-self pronouns are used as a form of self-expression. for example, somebody who feels like their gender is linked to or strongly identifies with clouds may use cloud/clouds/cloudself as their pronouns. sometimes people just use these pronouns because they think they’re cute, and that’s valid too. ❁✿❁ nounself pronoun examples: petal/petals/petalself petal really likes stuffed animals, so petal often buys them for petalself. what’s your favourite animal? petals is a penguin. bun/buns/bunself

bun really likes stuffed animals, so bun often buys them for bunself. what’s your favourite animal? buns is an otter. peach/peaches/peachself peach really likes stuffed animals, so peach often buys them for peachself. what’s your favourite animal? peaches is a cat.

(she really likes stuffed animals, so she often buys them for herself. what’s your favourite animal? hers is an owl.) ❁✿❁ emoji-self pronoun examples: 🐝/🐝s/🐝self 🐝 likes to sing, but 🐝‘s shy so 🐝 only sings when 🐝‘s by 🐝self. 🐝 wants to write a song that’s all 🐝s!! 🌸/🌸s/🌸self 🌸 likes to sing, but 🌸‘s shy so 🌸 only sings when 🌸‘s by 🌸self. 🌸 wants to write a song that’s all 🌸s!! 🧸/🧸s/🧸self 🧸 likes to sing, but 🧸‘s shy so 🧸 only sings when 🧸‘s by 🧸self. 🧸 wants to write a song that’s all 🧸s!! (he likes to sing, but he’s shy so he only sings when he’s by himself. he wants to write a song that’s all his!!) ❁✿❁ FAQ: how do i pronounce emoji-self pronouns?? you should ask the person whose pronouns you want to pronounce, as preferences can vary from person to person. however, commonly they will want you to say the name of the emoji like a noun-self pronoun. for example: when spoken out loud, 🐝/🐝s/🐝self becomes bee/bees/beeself

This time of year can be frustrating for people in the aro/ace community.
