The ''' | The '''Galactian system''' is an alternative classification system for [[nonbinary]] people based on the alignment in relation to the binary genders. However, instead of ''male-aligned'' and ''female-aligned'', it uses concepts that are not related to the binarist system, such as the sun, the moon and the stars. It's worth noting that these words were not coined to describe genders, but a relation towards a binary gender - an alignment. For instance, an agender person may identify as lunarian because they have experiences in common with women, despite not being a woman themself.<ref>https://kinda-girls.tumblr.com/post/153284340413/describing-alignment</ref> In the 2018 Gender Census, 0.658% of respondents identified with a galactian alignment.<ref>[http://gendercensus.com/post/175116062675/gender-census-2018-the-identity-question Gender Census 2018 - the identity question]</ref> | ||
Galactian alignments are often used together with other gender identities, such as "solarian bigender" or "lunarian demigender". | |||
== Solarian == | == Solarian == | ||
The solarian identity | The solarian identity is used to express a similarity with masculine genders, alignments, or experiences. It's a replacement for "masculine-aligned". The name of this identity comes from the fact that in many cultures, the sun is associated with masculinity and male energy.<ref name="stellunarian">[https://stellunarian.tumblr.com/post/158086623900/whats-lunarian-stellarian-and-solarian What's lunarian, stellarian and solarian? - Stellarian (tumblr)]</ref> | ||
== Lunarian == | == Lunarian == | ||
The lunarian identity | The lunarian identity is used to express a similarity with feminine genders, alignments, or experiences. It's a replacement for "feminine-aligned". The reason is that, in many cultures, the moon is associated with femininity.<ref name="stellunarian"/> | ||
== Stellarian == | == Stellarian == | ||
The stellarian identity | The stellarian identity is used to express the rejection of a person towards the gender binary. It's used to express a nonbinary alignment, in contrast to feminine and masculine alignments. The reason for choosing the stars for this term is that there is a large number of different nonbinary identities and presentations, in the same way that there are many stars.<ref name="stellunarian"/> | ||
== | == Mixed alignments == | ||
A person can identify with more than one galactian identity, at the same time or in different situations. When this happens, they are can be called ''eclipsian'' (solarian and lunarian, also known as sollunarian), ''nebularian'' (lunarian and stellarian, also known as stellunarian), ''novarian'' (stellarian and solarian, also known as solstellarian) or ''galaxian'' (solarian, lunarian and stellarian, also known as solstellunarian). | |||
== | == Other alignments == | ||
There is another galactian identity, called ''singularian'', which rejects any kind of relation with the gender binary, and therefore the alignment system itself. This is in contrast to stellarian, which aligns with neither male nor female within the system. Perhaps the greatest difference between the terms is that a singularian person rejects alignment entirely, and so will never identify as lunarian or solarian, while a stellarian person may identify as lunarian or solarian at different times or in different ways.<ref>[https://stellunarian.tumblr.com/post/158086230565/since-this-very-good-system-is-comparing Singularian coining post]</ref> | |||
Additionally, the prefix ''demi'' can be added to any of the galactian identities in order to express a partial identification with one of these identities (e.g. demisolarian, demilunarian, demisingularian...). Demi- alignments also receive proper names: | Additionally, the prefix ''demi'' can be added to any of the galactian identities in order to express a partial identification with one of these identities (e.g. demisolarian, demilunarian, demisingularian...).
