The '''Galactian system''' is an alternative classification system for [[nonbinary]] | 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. 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> | ||

A person can identify with more than one galactian identity at the same time. 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) | A person can identify with more than one galactian identity, at the same time or in different situations.

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. | ||
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: | |||
