alright Iβm making a shitty coining post because I donβt have flags but Iβm tired of this not existing
intra[x] - not engaging with and/or desiring [x] with anyone outside of oneβs own system.
labels that use this would be intrasexual, intraromantic, intraplatonic, intrafamilial, intralove, etc etc. you understand.
Iβve seen many systems - including our own - who are aspec, but have the exception of their own headmates. I thought perhaps having a word for this would be useful.
also, note:
anyone can use these terms. I donβt care about origin, if youβre questioning, if you even use the label βsystemβ - if it resonates, feel free to use it. we used the word system in the definition for simplicity, but anyone who resonates (even singlets? not sure how thatβd work but I donβt judge) can use it. hi polyminds!
the and/or was very intentional. you can engage in sex out of sys but still only feel sexual attraction to headmates, and you can feel sexual attraction towards those out of sys but only have sex with headmates, and you can feel sexual attraction & have sex with only your headmates. All of these experiences fall under this umbrella. I want this to be as inclusive as I could reasonably make it.
anyway, I hope you enjoy this. feel free to make flags (I want to see them)(to put on our pronouns.cc) and have a wonderful day!
