i made these for someone over on reddit, so i thought i’d post them here!! free to use, and also feel free to suggest other combos. i’ll probably make another part of this because they’re fun to make <3

Yeah so recently I've seen terms like triple a (a-a-a), triple bi (bi-bi-bi), triple demi (demi-demi-demi), etc but couldn't find a poly version so I'm doing it myself.

And also note that some of these can be spelled "ply-" instead of poly.

Double poly: When one is poly- in any 2 ways. This could be any combination, such as polyamorous and polygender. Can also be called poly-poly, poly², or poly squared.

(Flag ID: A flag with 3 horizontal stripes. The stripes are purple, red, and dark red-purple.)

Triple poly: When one is poly- in any 3 ways. This could be any combination, such as polysexual, polyromantic and polygender. Can also be called poly-poly-poly, poly³, or poly cubed.

(Flag ID: A flag with 6 horizontal stripes. The stripes are dark gray, gray, light gray, light pink-purple, pink, and pink-purple.)

Multi-poly: When one is poly- in multiple (but not necessarily all) ways. This could be any combination, such as polyromantic, polygender, and polyamorous. Double poly is considered a subset of this. Can also be called Ppoly, polyˣ, or poly multiplied.

(Flag ID: A flag with 5 horizontal stripes. The stripes are teal/blue-green, dark teal, dark gray, dark blue, and light blue-purple.)

Pan-poly: When one is poly- in all ways. This includes polysexua;/romantic/etc, polygender, polyamorous, polypronomial/nomial, and basically anything else that starts with poly-. Has absolutely nothing to do with pan- orientations or genders. Can also be called poly∞ or poly infinity.

(Flag ID: A flag with 7 horizontal stripes. The stripes are pink-purple, purple, blue, orange, yellow-orange, yellow, and green.)

More specific ones for poly- attraction:

Poly-orientated: When one is poly- in all forms of attraction/orientations excluding polyamory. This includes polysexual/romantic/sensual/platonic/alterous/etc.

(Flag ID: A flag with 4 horizontal stripes. The stripes are green-gray, light green, green, and teal.)

Poly-attracted: When one is is poly- in all forms of attraction/orientations including polyamory. Includes the same things as poly-orientated plus polyamorous.

(Flag ID: A flag with 7 horizontal stripes. The stripes are dark purple, purple, blue-purple, light blue, blue-gray, gray, and dark gray.)

all these identities are multi- identities. this means they all mean attraction to more than one gender. however, they are commonly confused for each other

*preference of gender can also mean the intensity of attraction for one or more genders is different

Bi-

-attraction to 2 or more genders (any genders, though commonly confused for attraction to men and women)

-commonly used for attraction to 2 genders

-with or without a preference of gender*

Poly-

-attraction to 2 or more genders

-commonly used for attraction to 3 or more genders

-with or without a preference of gender*

Omni-

-attraction to all genders

-preference of gender*

Pan-

-attraction to all genders

-no preference of gender/attraction to all genders is the same
