Terms pt.6

COMPHET

Comphet stands for "compulsory heterosexuality".

Comphet is a term for a gay individual whom is led to think that they are attracted to the opposite gender. This can manifest in them also knowing they are into the same gender, and thinking they're bi, or them potentiomally not even recognizing they are attracted to the same gender, therefor thinking they are straight. Comphet is a societal nudge that pushes folks into opting into heterosexual relationships regardless of their actual sexuality.

CUSPER

There is no known meaning for the colours.

Cusper is an LGBTQ+ identity defined by feeling like one is on the "cusp" between being transgender and a gender non-conforming "cis" person.

One might not feel like either label solely defines them and their experiences, like both identities are important to them and inseparable to eachother, like their identity encompasses elements of the traditional definition of both labels, or like their identity exists at the intersection of both experiences.

FUTCH

It was made using colours from the butch and femme flags (unclear which versions).

The top colour came from mixing the heavy femme and stone butch colours.

Futch is a term use to describe a lesbian, bisexual, or otherwise sapphic woman (or feminine-aligned non-binary person) who presents with a mix of feminine (femme) and masculine (butch) traits. They typically dress and present themselves in a way that is gender neutral or androgynous, not going too far towards masculine or feminine, or they may present more strongly femme sometimes and more strongly butch other times. Futch people can be cisgender or transgender.

FUTCH OTTER

There is no known meaning for the colours.

Futch otter, also known as otter futch or fottcher, is a term used by some non-binary people to describe their relationship with gender or gender expression, and sometimes one's sexual orientation as well. It is a combination of the terms futch and otter. This can sometimes be used as a gender identity and/or sexual orientation on its own.

Examples of futch otter experiences may include:

•Having a non-normative gender expression/being gender non-conforming. One may present androgynously, and have connections to both femininity and masculinity, or be lingender. One may want to be perceived as both an androgynous man and an androgynous woman, or otherwise have the characteristics of both a futch and an otter. They may also be pronoun non-conforming.

•Having connection to both womanhood and manhood, either through being liaspec, being multigender, being genderfluid, being cusper, being both girlprox and boyprox, or some other way.

•Relating to or identifying with both achillean and sapphic communities, labels, and/or culture. This could be because one is multisexual, omnigay, gai, or other identities.

GENDER DISCONNECT

There is no known meaning for the colours.

Gender disconnected is when one feels a disconnect between their gender identity and their assigned gender at birth. It is different from dysphoria as one can have a disconnect without feeling distressed and/or dysphoric from it.

GENDERHOARDER

The colours represent gold and amethyst, to represent precious stones that a dragon would collect/hoard.

Genderhoarder, also known as gendercollector and hoardgender, is an identity in which one's gender is fluid or fluctuating, but one can't find just a few terms to describe what their fluctuating gender is, so they "hoard" gender terms that fit them.

Anyone who collects genders may identify as a gendercollector; genderhoarder, hoardgender and similar -hoarder terms are often considered exclusive to those who experience their term collecting as a form of hoarding.

Gendervast and jackdawhoarder could be classed as the non fluid/flux versions of genderhoarder.

GENDER NON-CONFORMING

Gender non-conforming (GNC) people do not follow gender stereotypes; they differ from their society's conventional binary expectations of masculine or feminine presentation. Gender non-conformity can encompass many things, such as gender expression or gender roles. It is typically apparent in people whose gender identity is a binary gender such as male or female, whether they are cisgender or transgender; for instance, a feminine trans man and a feminine cis man are both non-conforming with expectations of masculinity.

The term is not equivalent to non-binary or trans, but some trans or non-binary people also identify as gender non-conforming.

INCLUSIONIST

Purple represents xenogenders, xenic identities, xeninity, queerness, variorientation, m-spec identities, and non-conformity.

Blue represents tertiary attraction, fluidity, fluctuations, tranquility, and freedom.

Yellow represents non-binary identities and intersex people.

Orange represents microlabels, pocket identities, individuality, and diversity.

Red represents love, energy, compassion, strength, and ethical non-monogamy.

Black and grey represent identities on the asexual, aromantic, and agender spectrums. It also represents ambiguity, mystery, questioning, and identities that have yet to be discovered.

White represents inclusivity, unity, and solidarity.

The symbol is a flower formed with heart petals and a star in the center. It represents growth, progress, open-mindedness, and community. The symbol can be added to any LGBTQIA+ flag to signify inclusivity.

An Inclusionist, or Inclus, is any person who is inclusive to all identities within the LGBTQIA+ community. This includes xenogenders, neopronouns, a-specs, m-specs, and any other identity. Inclusionists know the difference between valid, good-faith terminology and troll terminology that has not been reclaimed. Inclusionists work together to make the community a safer place to live and be in.

The opposite of an inclusionist would be an exclusionist.
