A flag for when your gender only consists of genders with terms that don't end in the "-gender" suffix; e.g. qupha or baph vs. any term formatted as "[x]-gender"
Image is a screenshot of an excerpt from the memoir mentioned above. It reads:
Six: right effort A trans body goes to the low-cost clinic on indigent status and performs a show. The most complex and personal interstices of self and body are reduced to carved, primary-colored wooden blocks and ABCs. The trans body has been trans longer than the doctor has been a doctor. The teacher pretends to be a student. The trans body is a bad kid in school who says what you want to hear to avoid detention. This trans body trains the doctor to see it as a patient and its need as a deserving of care, much in the same way wolves once trained humans to see them as dogs.
[Image description: 8 banners with a space texture. Each banner is colored like a different pride flag; Gray-ace, Genderfluid, Polysexual,Quoisexual, Alloaro, Agender, Demiboy, Demigirl, and Demigender. The text reads:
“dd/lg, little space, nsfw, truscum, terf/swerf, aphobe/exclusionist please dont interact”
hey! does anyone know the term for NLA? like how NLM is toric and NLW is trixic? here’s the NLA flag if that helps:
i know toric and trixic have alternate terms (quadrisian and orbisian), but i like the T sound, and they’re just easier to remember and say, so also: does anyone know the etymology of toric/trixic?
i believe they were coined by @bigendering - but correct me if i’m wrong ^^;
ok so! i think i found the sources for “tor” and “trix!”
[begin image ID: A screenshot of the definition of -trix, via collinsdictionary.com. It reads: “-Trix (in American English), A suffix occuring in loanwords from Latin, where it formed feminine nouns or adjectives corresponding to agent nouns ending in -tor (Bellatrix). On this model, -trix is used in English to form feminine nouns (aviatrix; executrix)...” end image ID.]
basically, the two were used to describe adjectives and nouns as feminine or masculine (although at the end of the word, not the begining). i couldn’t find a neutral version, but here’s my proposal for NLA, following the starting-with-T-theme.
tercic! based off the prefix “ter-“ which means thrice or three. in this case, it refers to men, women, and nonbinary people - though it could also could be interpeted to mean masc, fem, and other! i added on the C because “teric” sounds a bit too similar to toric for my liking :]c
so to recap:
trixic: a nonbinary person attracted to women/fem genders (NLW)
toric: a nonbinary person attracted to men/masc genders (NLM)
tercic: a nonbinary person attracted to all/any genders (NLA)
[these last three flags are recolors i did. the pastels are hard for me to differentiate, so yeah!]
