"standard" genders

• agender girl ★
  • being agender (having no inherent gender), but identifying with girlhood.
• boyqueer ★
  • “boy/man but only through being/through the lens of being/related to being a queer girl/woman/fem(me) person, including being a girl/woman/fem(me) person but only being okay with/preferring being seen as a boy/man by other queer people or through a queer lens”
• genderqueer
  • an umbrella term for having a gender that doesn’t fit the societal expectations based on your sex assigned at birth
• genderorchid
  • “A gender umbrella or term for experiences that are ‘gender through a genderless lense.’ It is not inherently under any existing term, such as agender or nonbinary, as it is its own spectrum. It can range from genders that are affected by genderlessness, gender indifference, genderlessness affected by gender, or otherwise.”

"vibes-based" gender alignments

• catboy ☆
  • essentially, "i'm not catgender but i believe in their beliefs," the gender. not a catgirl, though. just a catboy.
• mothenine ☆
  • “a gender that is faintly feminine or FIN (feminine in nature), and is connected to moths and forests.”
• ahauntic
  • "being agender, but having the feeling of another gender present in some way. it isn’t 100% there, but it feels like it is haunting you.”

galactian gender alignments

• lunarian
  • being connected to womanhood/femininity without being a woman/feminine. intended as a “less easily abused form of ‘female aligned’”
• stellarian
  • being connected to neither womanhood/girlhood nor manhood/boyhood.
• nebularian ☆
  • being both lunarian and stellarian. (sometimes called stellunarian.)
• equinoxian ★
  • essentially demigender, with the gender in question being nebularian. (sometimes called demi-nebularian/demi-stellunarian.)
• duskian ☆
  • essentially demigender, with the gender in question being lunarian. (sometimes called demi-lunarian.)

orientations

• queer ★
  • umbrella term for anyone not cis/het/allo/etc. in my case i'm capable of attraction to people of any gender to some degree, but i don't personally feel totally comfortable using a label like bisexual or pansexual because of the way my aromanticism affects any other attraction i feel, and the vastly different ways i experience attraction to different genders.
• grayromantic
  • term for people who feel that the term aromantic (feeling no romantic attraction) doesn't entirely describe their experience, but is still useful in describing it. in my case it's more that i'm not alloromantic than anything, i'm probably capable of romantic attraction, but definitely not in the traditional sense. (i also just find it confusing - see below.)
• nebularomantic
  • "when one is unable to or has a hard time distinguishing romantic attraction from platonic attraction due to being neurodivergent."

presentation

• tomboy ★
  • defined as a girl who behaves in a boyish manner and/or has other masculine traits. i generally consider myself to be a girl who lives as a boy, and i'm also on a full dose of testosterone and wouldn't want it any other way. some of the clothes i wear are feminine, and sometimes that's even why i wear them, but they're always also chosen for utility (i have never worn a skirt i couldn't run in even when i stopped being able to run). i was also always called a tomboy as a child and so that was the framework by which i understood all masculine women (including the many older butches i was around as a child) into my early teens and that makes the term significant to me now.
• fem (sometimes)
  • as stated above, sometimes i am intentionally feminine. my alter presents as a fem gay guy and that affects my gender presentation - since we need to "pass" at most of our many medical appointments my options are kind of limited, so i do sometimes dress in a girlish way intentionally, especially when i'm away from home. when i'm fem i'm very intentional in the way that i dress because i want people who see me to interact with me as a queer woman.
• i specifically don't consider myself androgynous even though many people i know in real life would. i don't really have an option in being kind of androgynous but i've never intentionally been androgynous because there's nothing i want to communicate in that way. i've been intentionally masculine because i needed to but never intentionally androgynous for any reason.
