The Alloy Alignment System is a system coined to describe one's gender using metals from the periodic table. It was made to help explain complex genders in a simpler way. The system doesn't describe their alignment on our outside the binary, but rather describes its feeling ([[masculine]], [[feminine]], [[Gender neutral|neutral]], etc.), completely independent of any alignment or presentation. A person can have any alignment or presentation, and their gender element will not change. | The '''Alloy Alignment System''' is a system coined to describe one's gender using metals from the periodic table.

The system doesn't elaborate on how these types of traits might appear, as each person experiences masculinity, femininity, etc, differently. The alloy alignment system doesn’t define what these genders are supposed to be or act like, just describes the aspects that make up a person's gender. It expresses these aspects (masculinity, femininity, etc.) as "linities." | The system doesn't elaborate on how these types of traits might appear, as each person experiences masculinity, femininity, etc, differently.
