[pt: nonbinary x orientation flags end pt]

So we recently discovered the terms enlios, enlune, evolke, and estelo. We thought they were neat, but we couldn't find any flags for them!

The coiner's blog, @/xeno-aligned, hasn't been active since August 2022. If anyone knows if us making these flags is not ok, please let us know and we'll take this post down.

All definitions and term names, including the nm and nw abbreviations, are from the original post.

Without further ado:

Enlios

[alt text: a flag with 7 equal horizontal stripes; the colors are, top-down: black cyan-blue, white, light yellow, white, cyan-blue, black end alt text]

definition: a nonbinary man attracted to other nonbinary men; nonbinary men loving nonbinary men (nm/nm). this attraction may or may not be feel gay

This flag is inspired by Kye Rowan's nonbinary flag, but with blue to represent manhood. The 7-sprite format mirrors other orientation flags.

Enlune

[alt text: a flag with 7 equal horizontal stripes; the colors are, top-down: black magenta-pink, white, light yellow, white, magenta-pink, black end alt text]

definition: a nonbinary woman attracted to other nonbinary women; nonbinary women loving nonbinary women (nw/nw). this attraction may or may not be feel gay/lesbian

This flag is inspired by Kye Rowan's nonbinary flag, but with pink to represent womanhood. The 7-sprite format mirrors other orientation flags.

Evolke

[alt text: a flag with 7 equal horizontal stripes; the colors are, top-down: black cyan-blue, white, light yellow, white, magenta-pink, black end alt text]

definition: a nonbinary man attracted to nonbinary women; nonbinary men loving nonbinary women (nm/nw). this attraction may or may not be feel gay or straight

This flag is inspired by Kye Rowan's nonbinary flag, but with blue to represent manhood and pink to represent womanhood. The 7-sprite format mirrors other orientation flags.

Estelo

[alt text: a flag with 7 equal horizontal stripes; the colors are, top-down: black magenta-pink, white, light yellow, white, cyan-blue, black end alt text]

definition: a nonbinary woman attracted to nonbinary men; nonbinary women loving nonbinary men (nw/nm). this attraction may or may not be feel gay or straight

Niamour: A butch attracted to other butches [blb].

Inamour: A butch attracted to femmes [blf].

Viamour: A femme attracted to butches [flb].

The names come from different colours representative of femmes and butches, combined with l’amour, French for love. 

Rosamour = rose [pink] - symbolic of queer femininity.

Niamour = niebieski [Polish for blue] - symbolic of queer masculinity.

Inamour = indigo - a queer colour, as well as pink and blue mixed together, while more on the blue side (representing the inamour person).

Viamour = violet - a queer colour, as well as pink and blue mixed together, while more on the pink side (representing the viamour person).

Butch and femme are not terms exclusive to lesbians or sapphic people! These terms are non-sapphic butch & femme inclusive.

XLM:

Maeliean

XLX:

Apaeic

XLN:

Bameian

I didnt really like the colors on the one that was posted, so heres this.

Awesome, thanks for submitting!

These are meant to be part of the juvelic system, or the glg system! (Examples: mlm, wlw, nblnb, etc.) Some Xenic people may consider themselves falling under just the nb umbrella, but for those who don’t, these terms are here! This is only the individual terms, I will be working on combinations (xelm and xelnb, nblxe and xelxe, etc etc.)

Amberic - Xelm, or xenogender-loving-men. Name comes from amber.

Sphaleric - Xelw, or xenogender-loving-women. Name comes from sphalerite.

Tourmalic - Xelnb, or xenogender-loving-nonbinary. Name comes from tourmaline.

Selenic - Xelxe, or xenogender-loving-xenogender. Name comes from selenite.

Prasiolic - Mlxe, or man-loving-xenogender. Name comes from prasiolite.

Andaluian - Wlxe, or woman-loving-xenogender. Name comes from andalusite.

Final* version of the juvelic / glg / [someone] loving [someone] chart for w/m/nb identities!

I also made a version without repeating the labels, based on a version @jynto made before:

I am also working on a text-only version, however since it’s taking too long to make, I will put it on a separate post/reblog.

I’m going to copy/paste the how to use and the Q&A from the original version here:

How to use:

1) Think about what your gender entails. For example, nonbinary woman.

2) Go to the line or one of the lines that specifies the gender you have. For nonbinary woman, you can go to nonbinary > woman or to woman > nonbinary. Both lines are the same.

3) Think about what your gender-based attraction or what you want to reveal about it entails. For example, nonbinary people and women.

4) Look for the column or columns that specify that attraction. In this case, again, you’ll have to look for either the nonbinary > woman column or the woman > nonbinary column.

5) See where the line and column cross! In this example, it should be iridian (nblnb, nblw, wlnb and wlw).

Remember you can use broader labels too! So if you are iridian, for instance, you can also use sapphic, enbian, and so on, if you want.

But how can you be both nonbinary and a man/a woman/a man and a woman?

Some nonbinary people may consider themselves one or both binary genders besides being nonbinary because:

They have multiple genders (at the same time or not), and one or some of them are binary or binary-adjacent; (examples: a person is trigender and their genders are man, woman and neutrois, or a person is genderfluid and their gender changes between agender and woman)

They have a single gender connected to one or both binary genders even if those genders aren’t binary; (examples: a person has a single gender that is a mix of maverique and woman, or a person is a proxvir, which means they have a gender similar to man but different in some way)

They have a certain connection to one or both binary genders because of presentation, pronouns/titles, desired transition, or other characteristics. (examples: a person is agender but doesn’t mind being treated as a man in general, or a person is dulcigender but has a connection to being a woman for desiring a physical transition similar to a trans woman)

But how can you be both a man and a woman without being nonbinary?

A nonbinary person may consider themselves both a man and a woman and prefer an identity that only talks about them being both a man and a woman.

A person who is both a man and a woman may also not want to identify as nonbinary for any reason.

But all those labels are too complicated/hard to remember! Why not just use ____?

You may not use them if you don’t want to, but there are obviously people who want to use those more specific labels, or otherwise there wouldn’t be so much of them.

Enlune: A nonbinary woman attracted to other nonbinary women. They may or may not experience this attraction as gay/lesbian. (nwlnw) | Pronounced en-loon.

Evolke: A nonbinary man attracted to nonbinary women. They may or may not experience this attraction as gay or straight. (nmlnw) | Pronounced ee-volk-e.
