I coined a term: prefix rigi-. This can be applied to orientations or genders, and it means that you only feel your identity (whether that be the orientation label or gender label) when you are doing something that fits your rigid definition of what someone of that identity would do and disappears whenever you are doing something else. Feel free to make flags if you like it!

queerhet flag design
queerhet is a label that includes, but is not limited to: when a hetero- person is in a queer relationship; an alternate term for heteroflexible/heterofluid; a person with a fluid orientation whose orientation includes hetero-; someone who is “straight now but not forever” or “straight but with exceptions”; someone who has both hetero- orientations and queer orientations (e.g. a heterosexual aromantic person); a hetero- trans/nonbinary person; a hetero- person in a polyam relationship; and any other variation of a hetero- person who is queer.
the flag is a combination of the queer chevron flag’s style and colours, with the straight flag’s monochrome colour scheme. the different shades represent the vast spectrum of experiences queerhet covers.
[id: black text against a pastel trans flag. in the corner is a cat sleeping under a gay flag. the text reads: “this blog supports: trans women, systems of all types, nondysphoric trans & nonbinary people, microidentities/mogai, non-sapphic/wlw butches & femmes; intersex people; fat people; aspec people. if you feel the need to argue: don’t!” end id]
Mesque- A term for people who move back and forth from mspec gay to mspec lesbian, or are both at the same time. The user may or may not have other orientations.
Requiesromantic: limited or no romantic attraction/interest/activity due to some form of emotional exhaustion. Emotional exhaustion may be the result of previous romantic endeavors and past experiences dealing with romance, or from something else just as emotionally draining.
Requiessexual: limited or no sexual attraction/interest/activity due to some form of emotional exhaustion. Emotional exhaustion may be the result of previous sexual endeavors and past experiences dealing with sexuality, or from something else just as emotionally draining.
Bismutian: An orientation in the juvelic system. (At least) xenogender and nonbinary loving men, nonbinary people, and xenogender people (XELM, XELNB, XELXE, NBLM, NBLNB, NBLXE).
The flag’s colors are taken from an image of a bismuth crystal. The symbol is the alchemical symbol for bismuth.
The other day I and some other people were talking about how there wasn’t a term for an aporagender loving aporagenders (here used as an umbrella term), while there are terms for xenogenders loving xenogenders and agender loving agenders.
so we decided to come up with a term for it:
Itherian/Itheric
From the Scots word “Ither”, meaning other. A term for someone who’s on the aporagender spectrum and it’s attracted and/or want to pursue a relationship with other people on the aporagender spectrum.
This attraction doesn’t have to be exclusive, but may be.
Both terms mean the same and can be used interchangeably. Itheric was suggested because itherian sounded too much like therian.
We also came up with another term to talk about attraction to aporine people regardless of one’s gender, itheri- (sexual, romantic, platonic, alterous, sensual, aesthetic, etc), but there’s no flag for it yet.
Ambivaic: A person on the multisexual spectrum with no gender preference (“Gender blind”)
Ainic: A person on the multisexual spectrum who has a preference towards people who’s genders are agender in nature (ain)
Nonbic: A person on the multisexual spectrum with a preference towards nonbinary people, regardless of allignment or association with binary genders. Only for use by non-cis people.
These are intended as sort of a continuation of these, as we felt like the set needed some rounding out. Big thanks to @arcticcirclesystem on Twitter for the idea for ainic!
AFAIK no term currently exists (that’s actively being used at least) like this? If one does I’m definitely not aware of it and trying to steal anyone’s idea. With that, I’m coining a new label. Introducing…
Priori aro. It was coined with alloaros in mind, but ace(spec) aros are also free to use it if they wish. It can be combined with any arospec label(s) (priori demiromantic, priori quoiromantic, priori aroflux, etc.), and describes an aro person who prioritizes their aro(spec) orientation over their sexual (or other) orientation(s). This doesn’t imply anything else about one’s sexuality or views on the SAM. All it means is that you prioritize your aro(spec) orientation for whatever reason, nothing else.
That sounds like me! What’s the meaning behind the flag?
Hey! Here are the meanings for the colors! Dark & Light green - Aro colors lol, I took them from the alloaro flag and altered them to look better with this flag’s color pallet.
Yellow - happiness and platonic love
Orange - Security in one’s identity
Red - Confidence; subverting expectations
The gray stripe is basically the ‘other orientations’, “grayed out” because they’re secondary to one’s aro-ness!
i made,,, my own aro label!! bc i couldnt find one that fit me right
Amovoromantic - can experience romantic attraction (crushes or squishes) but once a connection is formed and/or the feelings are reciprocated the intensity of your feelings can fluctuate back and forth between platonic and romantic from day to day
Jigattractional: An attraction identity that is composed of other sexual, romantic, etc identities as if they were puzzle pieces in a puzzle. Each identity is distinct just like each piece in a puzzle is different. Encompasses a person’s whole orientation with all the components of sexual, romantic, etc identities.
