I was thinking and came to the realization that there’s no real distinction between orientations such as homoromantic and demiromantic, even though those describe totally different ways of attraction. Lumping them together has its flaws, so I created my own labels to distinguish them from each other when coining orientations.  

This hit me deadass in the middle of the night and I wanted to get feedback from others. This blog was one of the few safe areas I thought to post it.

We have xenogenders and neo pronouns. What about neo sexual orientations? We have kind of dipped our toes into it, but never coined it before as a group for these orientations.

Neo sexual orientations would encompass things beyond who you’re attracted to when strictly speaking feminine vs masculine (or lack thereof). Rather, it would encompass more closely a general theme or sensation (textures and other things gained by the senses).

Ideally it’d fit people who chronically question their sexual orientation OR have had their scope of their identity “interpreted” by some type of trauma, neurodivergency, mental illness, things along this line.

Aethergender ※ A gender that feels wide, commanding, breathtaking, and powerful

Aitherio or Aitheriogender ※ An ethereal, otherworldly gender that did not originate from this world, making it nearly impossible to define using words from within your own culture Astergender ※ When your gender feels bright and celestial Astralgender ※ A gender that feels connected to space Caelgender ※ A gender Aesthetically associated with space, the cosmos

Condigender ※ A gender that flows through time and space, constantly changing, always moving 2) A gender of or related to space and time

Cosmicgender ※ A gender so vast and complex that you are only able to process a small bit of it at a time; like viewing the night sky through a telescope, you cannot hope to see all of it at once. However, you may gain more knowlage about parts of it the longer you focus on one part. May contain any number of subgenders within it that may present themselves to you. It is infinite in its possibility

Eldrigender ※ A gender that feels dark, nebulous, and unknowable

Faegender ※ A gender that changes with the seasons, equinoxes, moon phases, etc.

Gendercosm ※ A gender identity encompassing and surpassing the limits of the earth/society, without encorperating existing genders from society; a gender identity so grand and huge it cannot be explained by words

Nym ※ A gender which exists but is nebulous or undefined. Nymhs, derived from both nimbus and nebula, refers to a gender which exists but is nebulous in nature - definitely present but indistinct and unable to be defined in any more exact light. Drawing from this meaning the flag is loosely based off of Saturn and colors often seen associated with space, nebulousness, or lack of form. (fun fact: it can also be seen to resemble a stage of the formation of a protostar from a nebula but that’s less commonly known)

(this post will be updated as new terms are coined!)

Juparian:  A nonbinary gender that is linked to softer celestial masculine energy.It is never hyper masculine and it’s not male-aligned nonbinary, but instead is simply linked. Someone who is juparian can feel different amounts of masculine energy at different times.

Lunettian:  A nonbinary gender that is linked to softer celestial feminine energy.It is never hyper feminine and it’s not female-aligned nonbinary, but instead is simply linked. Someone who is lunettian can feel different amounts of feminine energy at different times.

Starfluid:  A form of genderfluid linked to either the energy or the aesthetics of space/stars. Someone who identifies as starfluid can be fluid towards any gender as the only consistentcy is the tie to stellar energy/aesthetics

Mercurian:  A nonbinary gender that is connected to a softer celestial energy. This energy can feel “gendered”, but is neither masculine or feminine. Someone who is Mercurian can also be “void” of gender itself.

Saturnian:  A  nonbinary gender that is linked to both softer celestial masculine and femenine energy. Like the others it is not masculine/femenine aligned, simply linked. And the amount of energy one feels can vary and change.

Neptunian:  A  nonbinary gender that is linked to the void and fluctuates with softer celestial masculine energy. 

Venusarian:  A nonbinary gender that is linked to the void and fluctuates with softer celestial femenine energy. 

Celestarian:  A  gender that is a combination of juparian, lunettian, and mercurian. Someone who is celestarian can be fluid between all three/feel different amounts of each at different times.

Juparettian:  Someone who is both and/or fluid between juparian and lunettian.

Merjuparian:  Someone who is both and/or fluid between juparian and mercurian.

Baph (pronounced “baff”) description: a xenogender/nonbinary experience based in occult and magickal feelings where one feels like a balance of self-defined polar ‘energies,’ such as masculine/feminine (not male/female), spirit/material, sky/land/sea, light/darkness, etc. being both energies while also being something unique that is between and transcends them. It draws from Eliphas Levi’s image of the Baphomet and symbolism within it, and has a feeling of occult transcendence, embodiement, liminality, and perversion of boundaries. Similar to androgyne, but off the binary and related to other polar concepts and forces instead of the binary genders. Baph can be used in place of words like girl/boy/man/woman. It can also be modified (e.g. demibaph, alte-baph, etc)
