i love non binary people because they either dress like an actual cryptid who came down from space, lives in the woods and only eats dirt, mushrooms and small children, a femme fairy prince(ss) slay boots the house down goddex or fvcking napoleon dynamite

happy pride month everyone! i have a hypothesis that you can tell what timeframe someone had most of their interaction with queer spaces/terminology based on how they refer to the community! obviously there are some exceptions and a teen whose exposure is from terfs will use different terminology than a teen whose exposure is from reading archives of queer theory, but in general (alphabetically ordered):
gay — up through the early 21st century, or from rural communities
GLBT — before or during the height of the AIDS epidemic
LGB — 21st century trans-exclusionary radical feminism
LGBT — after the height of the AIDS epidemic through some time in the 2000s–2010s
LGBT+ — mostly used in contrast to LGBTQ+, or by “queer is a slur” radfem-adjacent types
LGBTA — tbh i think the only time i’ve seen this used is the LGBTA wiki (z”l)
LGBTQ — mid–2010s
LGBTQ+ — late 2010s–present
LGBTQIA, LGBTQIA+ — late 2010s–present, but slightly more online
LGBTQIAAPP+, LGBTQQIP2SAA+, etc. — late 2010s online discourse and cancel culture
queer — late 1960s–present, though not as much from anyone immersed in cancel culture
obviously none of these are concrete, just anecdotal observations, and should be treated as such, plus there are always exceptions!
if anyone uses this post to start discourse i’ll hunt you down and put a tiny speaker inside your phone, set to occasionally play a persistent hum at about 8 KHz, quiet enough to almost blend in with background noise but loud enough to be annoying

to the aspec kids who are asked why they don’t have a girlfriend or boyfriend on this holiday: don’t listen to them. you rock, and you don’t need to be in a relationship to appreciate life.

friendly reminder
racism and transphobia have no place in the LGBT community. without transgender women of color, we wouldn't have pride.
thank you for being so brave 💜💜💜💜💜💜

how did u come up with the galactian system?
I was talking with a friend about how annoying it was that cis/binary people had coined words to refer to us with (“female/feminine-aligned” and “male/masculine-aligned”), and we were just like, why don’t we coin some of our own? By nonbinary people, for nonbinary people!
So we got several dozen nonbinary people in one big discord chat and discussed terms we could use. At first I wanted to use artemisian and apollonian to replace specifically those two terms, but the Greek gods belong to a closed religion, so that would’ve been very disrespectful (it’s the reason ‘dionysian’ was replaced with ‘diamoric’, I believe).
And then, someone finally said, “why not use inanimate objects instead? that way you won’t be overstepping!” So, instead of scrapping the idea altogether, I took the concept of sun and moon, adding stars to be more inclusive of non-aligned nonbinary people, and that was the first stage of the galactian system!
Then, @not-your-fae suggested we allow the terms to be as flexible as gender identity was; catering to the rigidly structured binary wouldn’t do. They were actually the one who gave birth, metaphorically speaking, to the concept of combining the three terms to make new concepts, proposing 'stellunarian’ as a primary example.
Plenty of people challenged the idea, as associating fem identities with the moon and masc identities with the sun was stereotypical and seemed to be counter-productive, so I opened the terms to work for any nonbinary person, regardless of gender identity, so long as they did have some connection to or relationship with the term they used.
Recently, a handful of people came to me expressing dissatisfaction with the term stellarian; saying the fact that it could be aligned with the solarian/lunarian binary made it unappealing to use as a sole identifier (for them personally). So I did some research on outer space, and coined singularian, or voidic, an identity based around the idea that it cannot be aligned. For more info about that one, search the key term 'singularian’ on my blog.
*As a side note, my friend’s (who I couldn’t track down) ideas greatly contributed to the coining of venusic and marsic, which @temp-nb-blog witnessed and created flags for.
