meaning: a solidarity movement made up ofbisexuals who support all of our m-spec siblings, whether they’re pan, ply, omni, or beyond!
I’m really tired of following bi positivity blogs only to find out somewhere down the line that they’re part of an exclusionist group called the “battleaxe bis” (anti pansexual/polysexual/omnisexual/any multi-gender-attracted label that’s not ‘bi’), so I thought I’d try spreading a message of support and acceptance instead!
- FAQ -
what makes someone a ‘blade bisexual’?
all you have to do is acknowledge and uplift pan/ply/omni/etc. people!
are there any symbols we can use to signify we’re bi people who support other m-spec orientations?
yes! personally, I’ve been using the following:
sword (of any kind)
double/dual-wielded swords
purple heart
official flag (see above image)
I wholeheartedly support pan/ply/omni/etc. people. what can I do to join?
to show your support, put at least one of the previous symbols somewhere in your bio using emojis!
that’s everything I can think of! if you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! 🌈

I made a post about remembering those who *only* identify as trans: not trans men, trans women, transfem or masc, nb, genderqueer, aligned or unaligned—just trans. And I was thinking last night about how I really liked that concept…not a gender, per se, just an identity defined by transness. Like how people say, “I would always be trans, even if I were assigned a different gender at birth.” I really liked that idea, so I came up with the following concept: Transemphatic.
Transemphatic is an word that refers to those who emphasize transness as a very important part, or the most important part, of their identity. It has ties to concepts such as trans radicalism, anti-assimilationist queerness, and trenderpunk. It can be someone’s only identity, as in, I’m trans and nothing else, or it could be combined with another label, like, I’m a transemphatic woman, a transemphatic man, a transemphatic xeumel*, etc.
In the case of being combined with being a trans man or woman, it could be understood as the person wanting to emphasize their transness, not their (wo)manhood. Someone who isn’t transemphatic might say, “I’m a man,” rather than, “I’m a trans man,” while a transemphatic person would put the focus on the trans part of themself, not the man part.
The concept or state of transemphasis can be a visible one, shown through clothing, pronouns, names, presentation, etc, or a private one, in the way that many labels are private. For an example of a way one personally may show one’s transemphasis, take using neopronouns or emoji/symbol pronouns. The pronouns ⚧️/⚧️s might be used by a transemphatic person, because by using them, one is visibly emphasizing one’s transness in an inescapable way. However, this is just one example, and the concept of transemphasis is a very flexible and personal one, that each person who takes upon the label can and will interpret and contextualize in a different way.
This is a concept I put a name to, but it may already exist in different forms without my knowledge. Anyone can use the term, I’ve never been a fan of making up your mind for you.
*xeumel (n): a nonbinary person.
Unsurprisingly I had more thoughts about this.
It should be noted that being transemphatic does not mean you’re “defining yourself around what you aren’t rather than what you are.” By which I mean: saying you are transemphatic does not mean you’re just saying “I was assigned [x] at birth but I’m not [x].” While that could be a possible usage or explanation of the identity to certain people, that is not how transemphasis was originally created. The concept of transemphasis is a positive one, and transemphasis is based on embracing transness as a concept and state of being.
Therefore, one who has very little involvement or understanding with their trans community may not feel as drawn or connected to the identity. This is neither a positive nor negative statement, nor is it a judgement.
You don’t have to do anything to be transemphatic, you just need to connect with the concept to some degree
Transemphatic doesn’t take the place of other labels. Saying you are transemphatic does not mean giving up labels like “man,” “nonbinary,” “genderfaer,” etc. It just means that transness is a very important part of your queer identity, or the most important part, like I said above.
UNDEADSOFT - an agender-in-nature xenogender connected to the undead (mostly zombies) due to neurodivergence. normally very comforting to the one using it.
🧟♂️🧟♂️
i really wanted a zombie-ish gender and none of the ones that already exsited fit so here we are! version without the symbol under the cut
A xenogender inspired by all kinds of tea. This can be used by neurodivergent people who feel a connection to tea, tea making, tea drinking or even tea related witchcraft. The name is inspired by “tea sommelier” which is the tea equivalent of “barista”.
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.
(A few notes before I start: a lot of credit for this goes to @xeno-aligned for answering my anon ask and introducing me to the term bxy!! Also idk if this even counts as coining a new term bc I just added a suffix but I searched it up on tumblr and google and got absolutely 0 results. I don’t even know how to coin terms lmao. Lastly tell me if you think this term describes you!! I’d love to hear from people)
What does bxyflux mean?
This term combines the root word “bxy” and the suffix “-flux”
Bxy: A gender that is both boy and agender/no gender. You can be a boy and agender/no gender at the same time, go between them, or fluctuate between feeling male and not feeling gender
-flux: in terms of gender, it means fluctuating in intensity
Therefore bxyflux is a gender that is both male and agender and fluctuates in intensity. Pretty simple right?
There are a whole lot of ways this could be applied, so I’ll use myself as an example. I personally feel completely male and also partially agender, but the agender part varies in intensity (the male part may also vary in intensity but I’m not sure). Someone else who uses the term bxyflux could go between being male and agender (not either at the same time) while also having the intensity of both or one those genders fluctuate in intensity.
Is there a flag?
Yes! I made this one I think looks pretty cool but give me any criticism you can think of!!
(id: flag with 5 horizontal stripes, which from the top down are dark grey, blue, white, green, and dark grey)
The blue represents male, the green represents agender, and the black and white represent the varying intensities of the genders.
I think that’s it!! There can be gxrlflux too, but I don’t have a flag for that unfortunately. Thanks for reading 💕

Malificae
A gender that is related to
witchcraft. It is up for the user’s interpretation, but it may feel
magical, ‘witchy’, have connections to spells, sigils, rituals and other
types of magic, or feel related to a specific path. For example, a
cottage witch might experience it as being homely, cosy and related to
nature, while a sea witch may experience it as simultaneously harsh and
gentle, vast, and liquid. These are only examples - malificae is a
personalised gender that means something different for everyone. You do
not have to practice witchcraft to be this gender. It does not have a
suffix that can be replaced with a gender (e.g. it can’t be used as
malificaexoy), but if paired with another gender, it may look like this:
“I’m a xoy and malificae.” “They’re a malificae lykh, but they’re also
juxera.” “Kit is a malificae girl.” However, it can be used as
Malificaefluid and Malificaeflux, as well as Demimalificae, etc.
