🎈 Transmasculine is a gender identity for those whose gender has a significant level of masculinity associated with it. Some individuals may feel 100% masculine, while others only feel a smaller percentage of masculinity within their gender (for me personally, my gender is primarily masculine, but not fully; i'd say it's around like 80-90% masculine?)🎈 Some people may use Transmasculine as a micro-label to better define their gender. In my case, I use the label itself.🎈 Sometimes, Transmasculine people are referred to as FtM- or Female to Male/Feminine to Masculine. However, since being assigned female at birth is not a requirement to identify as Transmasculine, this labelling is usually seen as inaccurate and- in some cases- exclusionary to those who were not AFAB.

A flag that has 3 horizontal stripes in hot pink, yellow, and sky blue.
A flag that has 3 horizontal stripes in pastel pink, light yellow, and baby blue. In the middle, overlaying the stripes, is a heart in hot pink, yellow, and sky blue.

🎈 Pansexual is a sexual orientation where a person has no preference towards their partner's gender. Since they hold no bias towards any gender in particular, they are- in a sense- attracted to all genders. Panromantic is the same thing, but applies to romantic situations instead of sexual ones (like with Pansexual.)🎈 Pansexuality is often compared to other multisexual orientations like Bisexual, Omnisexual, and Polysexual. However, each of these orientations have defining differences, and attempting to "invalidate" certain identities due to their perceived similarity to another sexuality is seen as offensive.🎈 While the label Pansexual was originally created to be a "non-transphobic" version of Bisexuality, the meaning of the label has changed over the years. Most consider both Bisexuality and Pansexuality as valid and different sexualities.

🎈 Demisexuality is when someone does not develop sexual feelings for someone until they develop a strong connection with that person. What counts as a strong connection may differ from person to person. Demiromanticism is the same, but for romantic attraction instead of sexual attraction.🎈 Unlike allosexuals- those who are not on the asexual or aromantic spectrum, who develop feelings for those they don't know well and simply choose not to act on them, demisexuals and demiromantics cannot feel sexual attraction until a relationship is established.

A flag with 3 horizontal stripes at the top/bottom/middle, and 2 thin stripes above/below the middle. The colors of these stripes are as follows- blue, dark blue, navy blue, black, dark red, crimson, and red. The Greek letter Alpha is in the center.

🎈 Ambiamorous people are capable of having both monogamous and polyamorous relationships, with little-to-no preference between the two. They are comfortable being in relationships with multiple people to the same degree as they would be dating only one person.🎈 While the "rules" differ from relationship to relationship, most couples that engage in polyamory require unanimous consent and knowledge of relationships from all parties involved. Failure to inform one's partners could be considered/akin to cheating.

A flag that has 5 vertical stripes in dull blue, light grey, white, delight yellow, and dusty purple. There is a white circle with a red outline in the center, which overlaps the three stripes in the middle.

🎈 Objectum is a byproduct of neurodivergency, where one feels an attraction to certain objects; this attraction can be emotional, romantic, sexual, or any other type of attraction one may experience. Some Objectum people may feel attraction only towards objects, while some may feel attraction to people as well (I am the latter.)🎈 The objects that one has an attraction are referred to as "beloved objects;" beloved objects can be a "private object" that one owns (cars, plushies, articles of clothing, etc.) or "public objects" that can't be owned in the same way (buildings, amusement park/water park rides, bridges, etc.) Beloved objects can also be non-tangible things, like logos or concepts.🎈 In my case, I have a sexual attraction to plushies and retro technology, and an emotional attraction to trees; I view these things as living in the same way humans are alive, and thus treat them as if they are human.

🏁Preferred Terms🏁

(GIF made by me. don't ask-)

🎈 When it comes to how I want to be referred to, I am comfortable with all masculine terms and most gender-neutral terms. However, there are a few that do not feel correct when used towards me.These terms include, but may not be limited to, the following:🎈 The prefix "Mx."🎈 The prefix "Mir."🎈 The nickname "Boo."🎈 The romantic term "Kissmate."If there is a word you want to refer to me as, but are unsure if I am comfortable with it, please ask me!🎈 Most feminine terms make me extremely uncomfortable, so please avoid using them towards me. If there is a term you want to ask me about, feel free to do so!Some feminine terms I'm okay with are:🎈 Being called "Pretty" as a compliment.🎈 Being called "Beautiful" as a compliment.🎈 Being referred to as my partner's "Wife."

🌈 Ooh, a secret! 🌈

I've made it a bit harder to access my Xenogenders, just in case I decide to share this carrd with people I'm not comfortable telling them too! With that said, here are my extra funky genders:

A flag with 7 horizontal stripes in purple, pink, pastel pink, light yellow, baby blue, light blue, and purple. In the center is a stylized cat head, with white fur, light yellow cheek marks shaped like circles, and closed eyes in purple.

🎈 Catgender is an xenogender where one's gender is connected to cats in some way. These ways very from person to person- some experience delusions where they believe they are a cat, while others feel such a strong connection between themselves and cats that the easiest/best way to convey this connection is to include cats into their gender expression/identity.🎈 While Catgender was made with autistic people in mind, anyone is allowed to identify as Catgender, including people with other neurodivergence such as ADHD/ADD, OCD, Anxiety, etc.🎈 Like with Transgender and Nonbinary, Catgender is both a label in of itself as well as an umbrella term for xenogenders related to cats. These micro-labels include but are not limited to: Meowgender, Felinegender, and Mewgender (I use Catgender as a standalone label and do not identify with any micro labels under the Catgender Umbrella.)

A flag with 7 horizontal stripes in blue, green, light blue, deep blue, yellow, dark dull green, and light dull green.

🎈 Objectshowgender is an xenogender related to object shows and can be used as an umbrella term for any other object show-related xenogenders. In my case, I'm connected to objectshows in general, so I use the main term.🎈 While the specifics on this xenogender are very vague, I identify as this because object shows are a core part of who I am. They have been a part of me since 2011 and still consume most of my waking thoughts today. Without object shows, I would be a completely different person! So, I use this xenogender to better express my deep connection to them.
