#stellar system

A discussion with @libragender led to the realization that there are several terms for multiple genders and for partial genders, but not many more granular terms for multiple genders or the combination of these.

My apologies for the extreme nerdiness inherent in this. I hope you will find the terms useful!

These can be used on their own or as adjectives for another term or system- it may also be useful to use shorthand terms from something like the alloy system, but I’m unsure if the creator of that system is okay with using them like that.

the list is organized like:

- identity (star namesake): explanation

dualgender:

- spicic (alpha virginis): when one has two genders of fairly similar proportions

- almazic (epsilon aurigae): when one has two genders but one is confusing or obscured

- siric (alpha canis majoris): when one has two genders of varying proportions

- procyonic (alpha canis minoris): see siric, but the proportions are counter to the standard assumption (perhaps use in conjunction with “libragender”, unless there’s a counter term?)

- miric (omicron ceti): when one has two genders that fluctuate in proportion

- cygnic (cygnus x-1): when one has either one or two genders, but a strong component of one’s gender identity is agender or demigender 

trigender:

- gliesic (gliese 667): when one has three genders of fairly similar proportion

- rigikenic (alpha centuari): when one has three genders, two of which are much more prominent than the third

- polaric (alpha ursae minoris): when one has three genders, one of which is more prominent than the other two

- fomalhic (alpha piscis austrini): when one has three genders of varying proportion

- algolic (beta persei): when one has three to four genders that fluctuate in proportion

- quvidelic (qv telescopii): when one has three to five genders with some components being agender or demigenders

tetragender:

- xitauric (xi tauri): when one has four genders of fairly similar proportion

- capellic (alpha aurigae): when one has four genders, two of which are major and two of which are minor

- mizaric (zeta ursae majoris): when one has four genders of varying proportion

quingender

- dabihic (beta capricorni): when one has five genders of fairly similar proportion

- mintakic (delta orionis): when one has five genders of varying proportion

- almachic (gamma andromedae): when one has five to six genders that fluctuate in proportion

hexagender

- betucic (beta tucanae): when one has six genders of fairly similar proportion

- castoric (alpha geminorum): when one has six genders of varying proportion

- sagatic (sagittarius a*): when one has six or more genders with some components being agender or demigenders

septegender+:

- djabbanic (nu scorpii): when one has seven or more genders of fairly similar proportion

- arcassic (AR cassiopeiae): when one has seven or more genders of varying proportion

- trapezic (trapezium cluster): when one has more than seven genders that fluctuate in proportion to each other, or if one has many genders of chaotic proportions

[ A five-striped pride flag- blue, cyan, white, yellow, red- with a purple four-pointed star atop it. ]

Here’s my “prototype” flag for my stellar/stellic gender system, made with the help of @libragender and based largely off of two prior multigender flags.

The colors are half based on actual star colors and half designed to have meanings- the spread of colors across the radiative spectrum is intended to reflect the diversity of multigender identities, and my attempt at assigning meanings is - Blue - gender fluidity, by way of reference to the genderfluid flag

- Cyan - xenogenders and other distinctly outside-the-norm genders, partly because stars can’t shine cyan (the proper color would simply be a lighter blue, which doesn’t work as nicely on a flag)

- White - lack of gender in all its forms, whether partial or complete

- Yellow - similar genders

- Red - contrasting genders

- Purple - At the moment this is just a placeholder- the current plan is to vary it by the eight-or-so granular identities in the stellic system list.
