Sapphic
Parilisian
SAPPHIC Definition: Sapphic, also known as woman loving woman (WLW), girls loving girls (GLG), LMQ (Lesbian, M-spec, Queer), QLW/WLQ (queer loving women or women-loving queer), difemina, or sapphist, refers to a woman or genderqueer/non-binary individual who is attracted at least to women/enbys, exclusively or not. They may or may not be attracted to other genders as well. This attraction does not need to be exclusive, as the label is used as a way to unify all women or women-aligned individuals who love other women such as lesbians, pluralian women/enbies (including those who are bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, queer, and other m-spec women/enbys), femaric a-spec women/enbies, promoting solidarity among women/enbys of all identities who are attracted to other women/enbys. The term can be used as a modifier combined with other identities to show that one emphasizes or prioritizes their attraction to and relationships with other women/enbys. It may also be used as an identity on its own, and may be found particularly useful for individuals who know they are attracted to women/enbys but may be uncertain if they are attracted to other genders. It can also be used to describe a relationship between two women. It can be used as the non-exclusive counterpart to lesbian. Lesbian and sapphic are the woman-loving-woman counterparts to faunic and daunic, which are non-men-loving-non-men. Flag creator: @pride-color-schemes (2017) Colour meanings: It has two pink stripes on the top and bottom, symbolizing love. In the center there is a violet, which was historically given between women to symbolize their sapphic love.
PARILISIAN Definition: Parilisian, also called Gemaelian or Tumqualis, is an umbrella term for anyone who is epicene presenting and/or epicene aligned, fluidly or not. This includes cassgender, pomogender, perigender, anonbinary, quoigender, Anesigender or other epicene aligned or presenting folk. Someone who is expression fluid, for example, may feel epicene at some point, and be categorized as parilisian at that time. Flag creator: Zer0Rebel4 (2021) Colour meanings: Unknown
