I don't know who needs to hear this, but:

It is absolutely fine to use a label, only to realise it doesn't suit you anymore. Labels aren't there to bind you to them. They serve as a way to better describe how one feels and what ones lived experience can be like.

I had two pipelines of relabeling myself simultaneously.

From bi to lesbian, and back to bi.

From asexual to demisexual (because I thought, that one day, maybe I feel this kind of attraction, as sex-ambivalent and oscillating were terms I related with, and still do), and back to being asexual.

Does that make me less sapphic or a-spec? Absolutely not.

And to be honest: I still haven't figured out if I'm demiromantic or aromantic. And that is perfectly fine. We don't own anyone an explanation, but ourselves.

If the label felt good at that time, but doesn't anymore, let it go and take the one that feels more fitting. ♡ We are human beings. We are allowed to grow. You are valid, no matter which label you choose.

💗~Hyperxenogender~💜

[PT: Hyperxenogender /end PT]

Hyperxenogender is like xenogender, but more complicated. It's when your gender is so complicated, deep, infinite, unique, indescribable, alien, xeno if you will, that you need an essay just to explain what it is. It's like a xenogender, if the xenogender was it's own complicated, fleshed out universe. If the xenogender needed worldbuilding to explain. Hyperxenogenders usually have multi-paragraph definitions that are usually much more complicated and long than normal xenogenders.

Flag made by me but i think the flag looks like SHIT so feel free to make a new one

Possible suffixes for hyperxenogenders might be -hyperic, -hypergender, -hyperid, -hyperxenogender, -hyperxeno, -hypercharic, -hypercoric, -hyperkin, -hyperstimmic, -hyperspinnic, -hypersongic, etc.

I already coined a hyperxeno: KEINhypergender, or kenohyperchoric

This is an umbrella term for any hyperxenogender that is kenochoric in nature (KEIN).

One of the many things I love about YOI is how it ignores gender norms. Like Viktor wearing androgynous costumes as a junior because it matched his looks? Lovely. Yuuri learning how to dance like a woman as he explores Eros? Great! Let this boy do whatever he needs to find his unique Eros expression. Mila practising lifts on Yurio? Please give me more.

None of these form a pattern that indicates anything about these characters' gender or, more generally their queerness (spoiler: these could apply to a number of labels or to none; gender is a societal construct and the reasons to not want to conform to it are various), the show is that vague and it seems a deliberate choice. Viktor eventually changed his style and image. Yuuri finds his unique, masculine expression of Eros in episode 6 when he seduces Viktor with his own charms (as conveyed through the use of the masculine pronoun "boku"). These characters live in a world where gender norms don't matter and where everyone can express themselves and explore certain aspects of their personality without anyone telling them that it's not "appropriate" for their gender.

And you can spin this further in your personal headcanon. If Viktor wants to wear a women's yukata because he loves the flower print, he can do that. If Yuuri wants to do ballet in pointé shoes because it challenges his sense of balance, no one can stop him. (In my fics, Viktor wears such shoes for that purpose and because he loves the laces.) If Chris wants to wear an evening gown and high heels because he loves how it emphasises his thighs and his bum, he can just go for it. If Yurio wants to wear a mini-skirt to ripped jeans, no one will bully him for it. If Mila wants to skate in black skates because it matches the colour of her costumes better than white skates, no one would care (same goes for white skates for any of the male characters). If Phichit wants to wear make-up, no one would give him strange looks.

The beauty of Yuri on Ice is that the characters are free to do these things without having to fear judgement or repercussions. They are free to choose how they want to express themselves, be it for image reasons, because of a character they portray in their figure skating routines, because it ties into a certain aspect of their queerness, or because they just prefer this over a traditional expression. In the world of YOI, it just doesn't matter. I would love to live in that world.

Edit: I wrote a meta analysis about Yuuri's exploration of Eros throughout the show that discusses things like the pronouns etc. in more detail here.

(You might notice that I don't count hair length as gender norm because for many people it's a stylistic choice. I'm thinking of all the metalheads and women with pixie haircuts, which have been normalised in most societies I know of.)

Oh for crying out-

Yall I'm so for real right now, if I have to see one more person say something like "a Lesbian can't date a Trans man, it's disrespectful to both identities!" I will lose my goddamn mind.

The problem here is that you are conflating "Lesbian" with "only likes girls" and Trans man with "guy who previously identified as a woman". And these are both true, however there is one very important aspect you forgot while piecing these together.

Sexuality and gender identity are both fluid.

You saw the labels and logically thought "well Lesbians like girls, therefore being interested in a Trans man would be invalidating to his gender identity". But you forgot that key factor. We don't choose who we are attracted to. It's what we've been saying this whole time while the hets tell us to choose straightness.

Nobody ever falls into labels perfectly. If they did, history would be much simpler. But nobody gets to choose the way they feel. This is how these labels were formed to begin with. You think there was always a word for Nonbinary? Nope. But people explored, they learned about themselves and realized they didn't fit the bubbles that were already made.

Hell, I've had a Lesbian friend confess she had feelings for me even while I was a guy. To look her in the eyes and tell her that she's not a Lesbian anymore, that she needs to find a new label because this one isn't for her? That is what's disrespectful to her identity, not her own feelings.

I'm not saying these words don't have meaning, they do. And the distinguishment between them is very important. But like all things, they are still fluid. There is a difference between man and woman but that doesn't stop yours truly from being here.

If the fluidity of these things did not exist, many of the labels you like to force people in would not either. And once we begin adding ridged borders to what dictates who people can be, we become the same as the people who would have us dead.

One thing I will always hate about the queer community (coming from someone who is a part of the queer community) is that many people think that it is 100% ok to gatekeep, invalidate, or bully/harass people who use terms and labels they have never heard of before or don't understand.

An example would be if two people meet and person b uses a term/label that person a doesn't know or understand, and instead of trying to understand and being respectful towards person b, person a does the exact opposite.

Like, if it's a genuinely harmful label (such as MAP, transracial, transabled, semi-bisexual, or womaantihaemosexual) then sure gatekeep away. If a person is misusing a label just try and explain how they are misusing the label in a polite way, and if they refuse to understand then that isn't your fault or problem. What I'm getting at is that being nasty towards people for no other reason than them using a term that you don't understand/know is not ok and only causes more issues for this community.

Masculinx / Mascx

(mask-you-luhn-ex) / ( masc-ex) A xenic-neutral nonconforming type of Masculinity

….

Femixine / Femx

( feh-muh-zin) / ( fem-ex ) A xenic-neutral nonconforming type of Femininity

….

Androgynx

( an-draa-juh-nex ) A xenic-neutral nonconforming type of Androgyny

….

+++

- These are gender presentations they don’t have to effect ones gender

- These are a personal feelings of one’s expression, it feels nonconforming and xenic-neutral : could mean being connected to masc/fem/androgyny in a xenic way (feels strange, otherworldly, or foreign) and it also feels neutral in nature. But it’s best defined by the individual

Queer Dictionary Carrd

I ran a poll a week or two ago about the carrd I’m working on, and the majority of people said they wanted to see it!

Updates as I add things will be posted on this blog under the tag #queer dictionary (feel free to block that tag if you’re not interested)

You can submit any suggestions/glitches/errors through this blog’s ask box as well!

Moving on…

Here is the link!

Here is a list of what I currently have finished:

Everything under the sexuality tab (juvelic orientations, multisexual spectrum, monosexual spectrum, asexual/aromantic spectrum, and miscellaneous sexualities)

The binary section and non-binary sections under the gender tab

I plan on working on the fluid gender tab next!

Agender bigender flag, made by placing the bigender flag inside the agender flag :) The green stripe could replace the white but i felt like it didnt fit in well. The only difference between the two is that the first has the original colors, while the second is more muted.

Free to use if ur respectful about it. I feel like it fits me well but I'm not open to google search inquiries about my gender.

queer label discourse sucks and should stop and i dont mean this in the "stop making up nonsense labels" sense, but in the opposite "stop fucking judging people for their labels you just dont understand or have a weird level of hate for" way. just to be clear, so my post isnt misunderstood to support the opposite message.

i am in the camp that every good-faith queer label is entirely valid and anyone who thinks differently is straight up wrong and should shut the fuck up. youre not defending "the real queers", youre literally putting down another group of queer people. youre not uniting, youre separating.

gatekeepers are wrong and all cops are bastards; even identity cops

#queer community #queer discourse #queer labels #and yes this IS about whatever label youre thinking about being an acceptable target #mspec lesbians are also fucking included in this also #and anything else you can think of #there are NO acceptable targets of any kind #just shut the fuck up
