Ance-spectrum Terms and Flags

Some flags I made! These focus on the Ance-spectrum, Ance being the abbreviation for Ansexuality. The prefix An- stems from the Greek ἀν- meaning "not", which is "used to make words that have a sense opposite to the word (or stem) to which the prefix is attached." [Source]

The first two terms have been coined already, and flags have been designed for them, too. However, I took a different approach to their color coding, giving the flags the defining color of their A-spectrum counterparts (e.g. the Asexual flag has a deep purple as their defining color, so I gave their Ansexual counterpart a color scheme based on that color). The green Anromantic flag has already been proposed.

Flag 1: Ansexual - "Ansexuality is a lack of interest in all kinds of sexual pleasure, interaction, or attraction, whether it be engaging in it or hearing about other individuals engaging in it. It can also be used to describe feelings of hate towards the concept or experience of sexual feelings." [Source] Flag 2: Anromantic - "Anromance is a lack of interest in all kinds of romantic pleasure, interaction, or attraction, whether it be engaging in it or hearing about other individuals engaging in it. This romantic orientation can also be used to describe hate towards romantic feelings of anybody." [Source] Flag 3: "An-alterous" - "An-alterous, Ance-alterous, or Ancenonalterous, describes an individual, who lacks interest in all kinds of alterous pleasure, interaction, or attraction, whether it be engaging in it or hearing about other individuals engaging in it. It can also be used to describe feelings of hate towards emotional relationships and connections." [No source, text based on the former descriptions.] Flag 4: Ansensual - "Ansensual describes an individual, who lacks interest in all kinds of sensual pleasure, interaction, or attraction, whether it be engaging in it or hearing about other individuals engaging in it. It can also be used to describe feelings of hate towards non-sexual physical touch in the context of a relationship, like cuddling, kissing, or massaging." [No source, text based on the former descriptions.] Flag 5: Anplatonic - "Anplatonic describes an individual, who lacks interest in all kinds of platonic pleasure, interaction, or attraction, whether it be engaging in it or hearing about other individuals engaging in it. It can also be used to describe hate towards the concept of friendship or platonic love." [No source, text based on the former descriptions.] Flag 6: Anqueerplatonic - "Anqueerplatonic describes an invidual, who lacks interest in all kinds of queerplatonic pleasure, interaction, or attraction, whether it be engaging in it or hearing about other individuals engaging in it. It can also be used to describe feelings of hate towards queerplatonic relationships." [No source, text based on the former descriptions.]

This should go without a saying, but these terms do not mean that said individual hates other people and their relationships, but rather the idea of those relationships they're in. This may be due to bad experiences in these type of relationships or simply due to having no desire to sustain such relationships.

EXTRA

A little fun thing to visualize my thoughts about the choice of color on the original Anromantic and Ansexual flags.
