latchtive

A latchtive is a headmate who considers themself sourced from something, but rather than strictly originating as that thing, they latched onto it as an identity or source sometime following when they came to exist in the system. An example of this would be a fragment that did not elaborate into a full headmate until the system watched a movie with a character with similar traits as the fragment, who then latched onto that character and became an introject of them. With a latchtive, it tends to be that the headmate/fragment/part/etc. latching onto the external identity did not have a very strong sense of identity beforehand, or was not a full headmate before taking on this identity. Some latchtives may view the external identity as being responsible for or helpful in causing them to develop a full sense of identity at all. However, none of this is necessary as part of the term, just the idea that a headmate somehow became an introject of some kind or gained a source but after coming to exist in the system.

A root alter is an alter who has connection/communication with most, if not, all of the system.

(Anyone can use this term, but we'd prefer not to be interacted with by those who exclude endogenic systems, thank you for respecting our boundaries).

When you& don't identify with any origin label (because you don't have one or because you refuse to label it), and the thought of having or being assigned one repulses you& and/or makes you& uncomfortable

We used Origin-flippant mainly but we realized there's an almost, distress?, or uncomfortable-ness, when we thought of people thinking we're [x]genic, so we wanted something that fits better

We know there are already some terms that are similar, but most of them are only like, a passing nod to the uncomfortable-ness. We wanted something emphasize that distress (plus all the ones we've seen are -genic labels, we wanted something in the same naming convention of origin-flippant)

An alt name for it could be Apothigenic, if someone else wants a -genic version. The prefix is from the Apothi- orientations, like Apothisexual (when you're Asexual + Sex-repulsed)

Intergay - an orientation in which one is intersex and gay for intersex people. This can mean feeling that your attraction to other intersex people is gay, being attracted to intersex people of the same gender as yourself, being attracted to people with the same intersex condition as you, or anything that would fit under being gay for intersex people.

Interlesbian - an orientation in which one is intersex and lesbian for intersex people. This could mean attraction to intersex women or woman-aligned people, feeling that your attraction to other intersex people is lesbian instead of any other orientation, or anything else that would fit under being lesbian for intersex people.

This could mean attraction to intersex men or man-aligned people, feeling that your attraction to other intersex people is veldian instead of any other orientation, or anything else that would fit under being veldian for intersex people.

Intercenelian - an orientation in which one is intersex and cenelian (gay non-binary) for intersex people. This could mean attraction to intersex non-binary people, feeling that your attraction to other intersex people is cenelian instead of any other orientation, or anything else that would fit under being cenelian for intersex people.

Coiner's note: These terms are about intersex people who are attracted to intersex people. "Intergender" is included but not specified. While intersex is not a gender, it is still an identity, and I consider it valid for somebody who is intersex to be specifically attracted to other intersex people, just like how it's considered valid to be attracted to presentations without equating them to genders. In particular, terms like interlesbian and interveldian are meant to be inclusive of use by and attraction to intersex women and intersex men who do not necessarily consider themselves non-binary or gender variant in any way other than being intersex. The coining of these terms is meant to imply exclusive attraction because that is what "gay" normally implies, but they can be used in conjunction with mspec identities (e.g. "bi intergay")
