It's a replacement for "feminine-aligned", "fem-aligned," or "female-aligned." <ref name="stellunarian" /> Lunarian is an identity from the [[galactian system]], which is an alternative classification system for nonbinary people based on the alignment in relation to the binary genders. 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 name="vergess describing alignment" /> | * '''Meaning:''' The lunarian identity expresses a similarity with feminine genders, alignments, or experiences.
