Linear and Non-Linear!

[plain text: Linear and Non-Linear! /end plain text]

Linear and Non-Linear are terms I coined to serve as alternatives to queer and not queer, in case someone is uncomfortable due to queer formerly being a slur.

Linear - a term to describe a person who does not have a marginalized gender expression or identity, orientation (for any attraction type), and is not intersex or altersex.

[ID: A flag with five horizontal stripes. In descending order, there is a thin dark green stripe, a thin green stripe, a thick white stripe, a thin green stripe, and a thin dark green stripe. End ID.]

Non-Linear - a term for someone who has at least one marginalized identity or expression type, whether it be gender or orientation (for any type of attraction), or is intersex or altersex.

Obviously, I can't touch upon every type of identity, but those who are alterhuman, neurodivergent, or feel like they deviate from the societal norm in any way may also use this label if they wish! No gatekeeping allowed!! The only requirement is that you support other non-linear folks of all communities :)

[ID: A flag with five curved, diagonal stripes. From top left to bottom right, there is a thick purple stripe, a medium light purple stripe, a thick white stripe, a medium light purple stripe, and a thick purple stripe. End ID.]

I chose the terms "linear" and "non-linear" because linear is seen as straightforward, and non-linear deviates from this in a variety of different forms, such as quadratic, exponential, etc!! I'm a bit of a math nerd, as you can see.

P.S. These labels do not need to be mutually exclusive! Experiences are complicated, feel free to mix and match these however you wish!

Hello all! I would like to return to make coining posts periodically. My requests will not be opened yet.

Sure! Expect it to be posted in the next few days. I'll probably just combine the colors, are there any specific flags you would like me to use?

how does neobinary work? is this similar to nymbinary?

Hi! The definition of Neobinary (pasted from this post) is as follows:

Neobinary is described as “A gender experience that exists to reshape and redefine the gender binary. An individual who is neobinary or who considers emself to have a neobinary experience may partially or mostly relate to the gender binary but can decide that their connection to the binary is outside of conventional standards of gender categorization. This is genderqueerness and genderfuckery specifically within the scope of the gender binary.”

The definition of Nymbinary (pasted from this post) is as follows:

"Nymbinary (nymby) or abinby (abinbinary): a binary aphorian, a person who identifies as a binary in a way removed entirely from the gender binary system. It is a type of binariness that is abinary in nature (ABIN), and therefore lacks ties to the gender-binary, including a relationship to aptobinary genderedness (aptobinariness/aptobinaryness) or ambinariness/ambinaryness, (fe)maleness, (wo)manhood, boyhood/girlhood/birlhood, (fe)male-alignment, binary masculinity/femininity, and most other widespread connotations of binary-ness. Nymbinaries (nymbies) may even see their binaryhood as anonbinary or something else entirely.

Could be an umbrella for nymboy and nymgirl."

This is the first time I've heard of nymbinary, so take this with a grain of salt, but my understanding is that neobinary is a gender experience that takes the traditional gender binary (male and female) and remains connected to it, but is also fundamentally different in some way, while nymbinary is a gender that is part of a binary, but not the traditional one.

If you are coming from my thresiboy and thresigirl coining post, the definition for neoboy/neogirl is as follows:

Neoboy/neogirl is a gender with a connection to masculinity, but in a way that's largely different from how most boys/men are connected to masculinity. Neoboy/neogirl is a non-binary identity that is mostly separate from being male/female, though it can be described as a gender that is masculine/feminine-aligned, neutral-aligned, min/fingender, and/or mia/fiaspec.

Individuals who identify with neoboy/neogirl may identify with the term because:

They feel like a "new" kind or type of boy/man. They feel like they're fe/male and connected to femininity/masculinity (partially or entirely) but in a "different" way. They feel like a boy, but outside of the gender binary. Individuals who identify with neoboy/girl will also generally feel neutral-aligned in some way or in some extent as well as being masculine/feminine-aligned but this isn't always the case.

Hello all! I was looking through my computer and found flags for a couple of terms I coined but never posted here! The exact etymologies and definitions have been lost, but I hope you enjoy them regardless!

Praetemeic - a label for when you simplify or hide one or more aspects of your identity for any reason, although this was coined with mogai in mind. One may use this as an umbrella term or specific label. Some circumstances that may cause someone to identify with this term include, but are not limited to:

Coming out as trans, but hiding your xenogender identity due to risk of exclusion

Having a very complicated sexuality, but using an umbrella term for the sake of convenience

Struggling with accepting your own identity due to internalized queerphobia

[ID: a six striped flag. In descending order, the stripes are yellow, light yellow, pastel blue, blue, dark blue, navy blue. The colors are somewhat desaturated. End ID.]

The stripe meanings are as follows:

Yellow - Privacy

Light Yellow - Convenience

Pastel Blue - Self-Reflection

Blue - Discomfort

Dark Blue - Guilt, Shame

Navy Blue - Fear of Rejection

Additionally, I coined Praetemeicflux - a label for when your tendency to simplify or hide one or more aspects of your identity fluctuates. Some circumstances that may cause someone to identify with this term include, but are not limited to:

Discovering new labels, and experiencing an internal conflict as you try to unlearn internalized queerphobia with each moment of self-discovery

Using many labels and explaining all of them sometimes, but using a simple umbrella term other times

[ID: a nine striped flag. In descending order, the stripes are red, pale red, yellow, light yellow, mint green, pastel blue, blue, dark blue, and navy blue. The colors are somewhat desaturated. End ID.]

The stripe meanings are as follows:

Red - Mistrust

Pale Red - Confusion, Uncertainty

Yellow - Privacy

Light Yellow - Convenience

Mint Green - Indecision

Pastel Blue - Self-Reflection

Blue - Discomfort

Dark Blue - Guilt, Shame

Navy Blue - Fear of Rejection

hello! do you have a NPD Adjacent flag? I saw your NPD + ASPD Adjacent flag, but I am only questioning NPD + the description slightly confused me, so I am unsure whether to use that flag or not! ( because you said " It is general so it can be used by anyone who has either traits of NPD or ASPD or the disorders themselves " , while the flag is a combination of the two )

Hello! I can make an NPD adjacent flag. Expect it to be posted today or in the next few days.

I apologize if the description for the original flag was confusing! I was trying to convey that you can be sure you have one disorder while only having traits of the other and still use the flag, or only have traits of both disorders but not qualify for a diagnosis. For example, I am often questioning whether I have ASPD or not, but I know I have NPD. Once I am on my computer I will update the description for clarity.

As for if you would like to use the NPD + ASPD adjacent flag, you certainly can if you feel like it suits you! Again, I will make an NPD adjacent flag, which you may feel more comfortable using.

Apotharos - a term for when one is Apothane (link) and Nethros (link), or when your Apothane identity influences your Nethros identity, or vice versa!

[ID: Two images. The first image is a flag with nine horizontal stripes. In descending order, there is a thick off white stripe, thin pale yellow stripe, medium pale orange stripe, medium dark red stripe, thick magenta stripe, medium black stripe, medium navy blue stripe, thin blue purple stripe, and thick bright purple stripe. The second image is a flag like the first, but in the center it has a white symbol with a thick black outline. The symbol consists of a spiral going outwards to the right. At the outer end of the spiral there is a triangular shape, making the end reminiscent of a devil's tail. On top of the spiral are two devil horns. End ID.]

Flag by me using a template by @revenant-coining. Colors sampled from the Apothane and Nethrose flags. Symbol by me using an image from the Noun Project (link).

Alternate flags and transparent symbol below the cut:
