Sheepgirl flag, made for people who consider themselves sheepgirls. This can also include ramgirls, lambgirls, ewegirls, and other related stuff. This flag can be used in whatever way you want, from casual or in a silly way, to gender identity, to therianthropy / otherkind experiences, or anything like that!

The flag’s three middle colors represent the diversity of ways girls might identify or present themselves, while the top and bottom colors represent both light and dark colored sheep wool. The little sheep icon is an edit of the Android sheep emoji!

Made to pair with a catgirl flag I made a few years ago :3

[ID: A set of three flags and a symbol. All the flags go from dark yellow, to light yellow, to light pink, to dark purple, to light teal. The top flag has a light pink symbol of a cat with heart eyes and a white outline, the bottom left flag has no symbol, and the one on the bottom right has more saturated colors. In the bottom middle, the pink cat symbol is on its own without the flag. End ID]

Catgirl flag

A flag for people who call themselves / identify as catgirls, or for people or characters that simply are catgirls. The top yellow-y stripes are meant to represent cat fur, and the bottom three stripes are meant to represent various ways of being a girl, regardless of if you’re feminine, masculine, or whatever else.

Anyone can use this for any reason, I don’t really care. Might just be a fun flag, might be a gender flag, might be used for a fictional character, it’s all good. Not necessarily a queer thing and you don’t need to be LGBTQ+ to use this, but I’m going to tag it with LGBTQ+ / queer / MOGAI tags anyways because a lot of people in the community identify with “catgirl” stuff.

The symbol used in the flag is edit of an emoji that some phones have.

[PT: Catgirl flag. end PT]

Another look at Translunar and Transtidal

These terms were created back in December of last year, and were meant to broadly group together trans people who are feminine and/or women, and masculine and/or men, respectively. Some of the experiences and reasons for these terms were talked about, but I want to go into more detail.

Here is the original translunar post, and here is the original transtidal post.

Translunar and Transtidal are meant to describe broad groups of trans people, being umbrella terms for the wide variety of masculine, feminine, man, and woman related terms in the community, such as trans feminine, trans masculine, trans man, trans woman, and even adfeminine, admasculine, nonbinary people of many different specific labels, those who are transitioning towards these things, and much, much more. I kept realizing I was having a hard time describing all the groups I meant when talking sometimes because of how many variations there are; at times, I would say “transmascs” when I was actually talking about a much wider group than that. I also simply wanted terms for trans people who are in these groups without any other requirements or designations about them.

In the original posts, many examples of why someone may be these labels were put down. I’ll go over them again here:

• Being a trans man or a trans woman, or being transmasculine or transfeminine.
• Feeling only partly connected to transmasculinity or transfemininity, or trans manhood or trans womanhood.
• Wanting a more broad label similar to transmasculine or transfeminine, but that explicitly includes manhood / womanhood specifically rather than just masculinity or femininity
• Being cisgender, but wanting to transition in some way, have surgeries of some kind, etc. in a way that you consider moving towards masculinity / femininity or manhood / womanhood.
• Being some form of masculine / man or woman / feminine that does not fit into transmasculinity / manhood or transfemininity / womanhood.
• Someone whose femininity / womanhood or manhood / masculinity is distinctly trans, but do not identify with the terms trans man, trans woman, transfeminine, or trans woman.
• A trans person who is admasculine, adfeminine, sensfeminine, sensmasculine, or similar labels to this.
• People who do not want their AGAB, sex, etc. assumed; only that they are trans and in some way aligned to femininity / womanhood or masculinity / manhood. This can absolutely include transmascs and transfems who do not want to disclose that they are those identities, and those who simply do not want to use any more specific label for the sake of comfort, safety, or preference.
• Identifying with your AGAB, but feeling as though you’re transitioning towards it or have an identity similar to it that is distinctly trans- such as experiencing a different form of womanhood / femininity or masculinity / manhood.
• Nonhuman, genderqueer, etc. men, women, feminine, masculine, etc. people who want a blanket term for their identity, or who feel as though they’re transitioning in a way that doesn’t feel transmasculine or transfeminine.
• Those who are reclaiming parts of themselves that may have formerly been traumatizing or painful to them, and thus feel as though they’re only now transitioning to or realizing that side to themselves.
• Those in systems who have an incongruent or otherwise non-conformant experience between headspace and the body (also called “eclian” or “azlian”)
• Those who do not want to use any kind of more specific label and want to use something completely broad, or those with a vague experience with any of these things and don’t know a better word for it.
• Someone who is simply trans and masculine / feminine or a man / woman, and likes these terms to describe themselves.
• Much more.

You might be wondering why I would combine womanhood and femininity, and masculinity and manhood, into single terms. After all, these things are different! The simple answer for that is I wanted to include people who were either one, or both, into it, not just people who were one or the other. You do not need to be both a woman and feminine, or masculine and a man, you only need to be one. It was for the sake of broadness; you know how sometimes people say “trans women and transfem”? It was meant to include both groups, and even more than just that, inside of it. This is for ease of communication as well as inclusivity. It’s also because terms already exist for one or the other, and I wanted to make something that could refer to both or either one.

I also wanted these terms to be inclusive of those who are simply transitioning, and those who are transsexual or some other flavor of “trans,” not necessarily transgender specifically. Cisgender women who desire transitioning towards masculinity, or even have top and/or bottom surgery, for example, can be Transtidal, and vice versa for Translunar.

So, in short: Translunar is for any trans person who is aligned or connected with femininity and/or womanhood, or is transitioning towards it, and Transtidal is for any trans person who is aligned or connected with masculinity and/or manhood, or is transitioning towards it. Nothing else. They are broad and malleable umbrella terms because I was tired of worrying about the different requirements, nuances, and specific details of other terms describing similar things, and because I wanted to have a catch-all group for a very broad stroke of many types of people.

Now that I’ve gone over what these terms are, I should go over a couple things that they are not. They are not replacements for transmasc or transfem, nor are they simply combining transmasc and trans man and transfem and trans woman. There are a wide variety of people who fit into neither of those, but could still be translunar or transtidal. They are not meant to be the new version of anything, instead being umbrella terms that can hold others underneath them, as well as being labels that are inherently broad and completely flexible depending on personal experience. They are not about your AGAB, your birth sex, your proximity to transmisogyny, or anything of that sort. Discard any biases or ideas of these terms you might have about them; they are strictly what they say on the tin. This isn’t an effort to say the other terms are bad for having requirements to them, only that translunar and transtidal do not have them.

Now for a bit of stuff about the words. Translunar can be shortened to transluna or translun, and transtidal can be shortened to transtide or transtid. Translunarity and transtidality are how you can use these terms as adjectives! I also wanted to specifically make the terms translunarine and transtidaline; these can be for people who align with qualities of translunarity or transtidality, and may be more comfortable for people who are specifically masculine or feminine, since it looks similar to those words- but, of course, you can use either one regardless.

Furthermore, -lunar and -tidal may be used with other prefixes. For instance, someone may be isolunar or isotidal (isogender being for someone who is neither cis nor trans.) You can use these suffixes for whatever you please, really, I don’t mind. Consider yourself adlunar, senslunar, or something like that? Go nuts!

Now, for a bit of a disclaimer: I did change the translunar symbol between the original post and this one.

The one on the left is the original, and the one on the right is new. This was because, at the time of making it, I did not know that this symbol actually represented Lilith, as I had made that symbol from scratch completely on accident in my art program. Lilith is a Jewish figure, and because of that, I don’t feel comfortable using a literal exact lookalike to the symbol that represents her. So, I changed it. It still looks similar to the old one, but it is clearly distinct from it. I also made it a bit sharper and cleaner in general. Please do not associate any form of the Lilith symbol with translunarity out of respect for Jewish people.

I also cleaned up and boldened the transtidal symbol just a bit, but other than that I changed very little.

That’s all, for the time being! Feel free to ask me whatever you’d like about these labels.

Exoversal: An identity that has pierced through the barrier of the ever-expanding universe. It is aimless, floating within the inky black void of the unknown. You are outside the bounds of anything that has ever been known, and you do not know what lies beyond.

You are surrounded, yet empty. Everywhere, yet nowhere. Incomprehensibly vast, yet smaller than the atoms that bind you together. You are not being pulled in any particular direction, or if you have a destination within the cosmic background you’ve found yourself in. You feel as though it is a part of you, and you a part of it- there is something about it that resonates deep inside you.

Are you afraid? Are you at peace? You are something tangible, yet forever unable to be grasped, let-alone understood. You are something theoretical, yet unable to ever be solved. You breathe in tandem with the blank slate surrounding you, expanding and contracting like the coils of a spring. You are a mere pinprick- one that appears like a star from far away enough.

Within the nothingness, your mere existence is its own universe.

Inviane: An umbrella for terms that can only be described by an image. There is no other description or describing the term besides the image itself.

Invi- is the prefix- Invigender refers to genders, inviallion refers to orientations, invidernic refers to aldernicity, and so on.

As there are so many images out there, many of which can be the same thing, naming inviane terms may be difficult. You do not need to make a specific term unless you want to; you’re welcome to just use inviane if you want. If you do coin your own, feel free to be creative or use whatever names you want. Furthermore, if you’re going to use multiple images, you can call it “mulviane.”

Inviane is not inherently part of things like xenogender, allion, etc., but it can be; it just depends on whatever the user personally describes it as, because it’s a very subjective experience. Please make sure you use image descriptions for the images you are using, so that disabled people may also use this term.

Example of an invigender:

“Menre,” or “Genre”

In the MOGAI community, there’s been the concept of nonbinary, then abinary, then all the way to xenogenders and beyond. The limit of how far a gender can go is very wide. But it got me thinking… what if some people’s identities are somewhat adjacent to where a gender would be, but isn’t a gender at all?

Some people might identify as nonhuman (otherkin, system members, and whatnot) and have a system of identity that doesn’t fit “gender,” some might just not fit any kind of notion for gender, and some might feel as though what they experience is completely broken outside of the very concept for what a gender is. There’s countless experiences just like these! For whatever the reason, that’s why the word “menre,” or just genre, is being coined as a concept.

A menre can be like a gender, in that it is an internal identity that may or may not reflect how one wants to present, interact in social situations, or just find most suitable for defining themselves, but is partially or fully outside of the notion of “gender” itself. It is not gender, it is menre. Some menres can be parallel or adjacent to gender, and some might be partly connected to gender, while others may be so utterly disconnected that they have nothing to do with each other.

Menre is an intentionally broad concept, and can have countless iterations, variations, sublabels, and experiences under it. Menre itself is not equivalent to the term “gender,” but its subterms are. Instead, mnre is the umbrella in which all of these non-gender subterms are grouped under. Not only can there be a million umbrella labels for specific menre experiences, but those labels themselves can be just as vast and countless as the term “gender” is, with all of its variations and sublabels. To put it another way, any menre variation has the capability to have just as many sublabels as there are gender identities.

To be clear, menre is not creating a binary dichotomy between gender and not-gender; menre is more comparable to how “nonbinary” partly or fully goes outside of the constraints of the gender binary. “Gender” in this instance is the “binary,” and menre is everything outside of that specific label.

“Menre” comes from the latin mens meaning “mind,” as well as the word genre, which roughly means class, type, or style. So, roughly, “menre” means “mind’s style.” I made sure that genre itself could be another word for this experience, since people might find that more accurate. Menre would be pronounced “mehn-rah,” like the word “men” and the end of “genre” combined together.

Here’s a visual representation:

So essentially, with menre in the mix, gender is just one sphere in a huge sea of similar identity frameworks. All of those “bubbles” have their own subterms. You’ll also notice that some look very similar to the gender “bubble,” while some are very different looking. Obviously this is a very simplified graph, since not everything is going to be a cut-off bubble and all have the same “shape,” (many menres are so far different from gender that they can’t even be compared) so don’t take this literally. It’s mostly just to show how menre is different from gender.

Mesopelic: A gender identity that’s connected to the mesopelagic zone of the ocean in some way. It can be a literal connection, but it might also be more symbolic, such as being partly obscured or hidden away.

The mesopelagic zone is also called the “twilight zone” in more casual contexts, and makes up around 60% of the ocean. Only a tiny bit of light from the surface reaches it, hence the relation to twilight.

Created to parallel hadalic, which is connected to the hadal zone.

Amatopunk!

Challenging notions of what it means to be in a relationship, defining love, and how important each form of it is to society. Amatopunk as an idea challenges amatonormantivity, and how society views aspec people, polyamorous people, and others who do not fit into the “right” mold. Anyone can identify with amatopunk and be a part of it if it fits them.

While it was made with aspecs and polyamorous people primarily in mind, this is because those are groups I am in. So long as you identify with the ideas of amatopunk, you are welcome to use it however you want. Disabled people, trans people, GNC people, POC, and so many more can be under this label; anyone who wants to be amatopunk is.

Amatopunk will mean different things for different people, and that’s okay. It’s a broad, inclusive label for different types of people, and how amatonormantivity affects them and/or their community.

Amatopunk is focused on both relationships and love itself. Some people have gone around saying it’s strictly, or more specifically, about relationships, and this is not true. Amatopunk is about both love and relationships!

Amatopunk does not include or endorse dangerous relationship styles, or things that harm other people. Notable examples include pedophilia, zoophilia, and incest. Please do not everuse this flag to create incestuous, pedophilic, or abusive content.

Amatopunk ideas and notions!

Fighting the idea that certain kinds of relationships are necessary

Fighting the idea that love must be followed a certain way, or that you must experience certain kinds of it

Fighting the idea that sex is required in any kind of relationship

Inclusion of aspecs, polyamorous people, and others within the community, and fighting against the stigma they deal with. Amatopunk is no place for bigots or exclusionary ideas.

Erasing the idea that you need any kind of relationship to be whole, or happy. Relationships are a choice, not a must.

For many, amatopunk may include relationship anarchy; it’s a big topic, so I definitely suggest looking this up!

Breaking down what it means to be in a QPR versus a romantic relationship versus a friendship; the “lines” between the two are important to many, but they are not a must. Friends can kiss and have intimate relationships, romantic partners can choose to never kiss, etc.- it’s about comfort and boundaries, not the type of relationship you’re in.

Challenging the idea that people like aspecs, polyamorous people, etc. are broken or cannot have a regular family. Furthermore, you do not need a family at all, if you don’t want one.

A family can be a man, woman, and two kids, a family can be three moms and one kid, and a family can be one man and 6 dogs; family is family.

A heavy emphasis on comfort, boundaries, communication, and consent in all forms of relationships

A removal from the ideas of what makes a family. Full inclusion of found families, queer families, polyam families, etc.

A rejection of forced gender roles on all genders, and of course, inclusion and representation of MLM, WLW, diamoric, and all kinds of other queer people in all kinds of relationships.

Marriage equality for those who do not have it, such as disabled people and polyamorous people.

Full inclusion of alloaros, loveless aros, aplatonic people, and others who may feel like outsiders in their own communities (so long as they want to be included!).

A rejection of amatonormantivity and societies perceptions of romance and sex in general.

(This is not all it can be! This is just some examples of what amatopunk may look like. As previously stated, amatopunk is a very broad, inclusive, and personalized thing, with experiences that even I likely do not experience being included within it.)

The flag!

The flag was made by me, and is a blend of various flags and other colors. Other people can absolutely make their own amatopunk flag if they would rather use a different kind! Furthermore, you can use mine for whatever you’d like so long as you credit me in some way.

The stripes do not have specific meanings due to how broad the experiences within this idea may be, and everyone is welcome into amatopunk, but purple and green were put there with aspecs in mind.
