contradictory label culture is agonizing over how to label myself because i identify strongly with the aroallo community because im an aro that experiences sexual attraction but im technically acespec so i didn't feel like im allowed to call myself aroallo but then i remembered seeing someone awhile back who was both aroallo and alloace and realizing i can do whatever i want forever <2
contradictory culture is forgetting that not every website is as "woke" as tumblr and many websites want my head on a stick for being an outesboy (does this count as contradictory? cause its like identifying as a lesboy w/o identifying w the lesbian part)
Honestly same?? Like this is a lil different but with animal packers, I found out what they were on Tumblr from people talking about how hated it is and then I got a video on TikTok where everyone in the comments was saying animal packers were "basically zoophilia" (?????) and also Mspec lesbians? Even when I was a little younger, I totally got how S.A.M bi romantic lesbian(sexual) /lesbian romantic and bisexual would work together, I just didn't know about the whole Mspec lesbian thing.
And there was a sapphilean video on TikTok and there was one person who thought sapphic = lesbian and Achillean = gay?? Like wtf?? Like complaining about it, not genuinely curious about it, and honestly that person would freak out if they heard about lesgays/Gaybians.
Hopping onto TikTok to Tumblr is like a rollercoaster.
contradictory label culture is *pulls out red string and comically large pinboard* OK SO- technically on account of being intersex and multigender, I am both MtF and FtM, but I'm also completely genderless yet full of thousands of different genders both xenic and non-xenic, my genders are completely static and never changing but also constantly fluctuating and fluid, i experience attraction to everyone but also to noone, my attraction to fem aligned folks is both straight, gay and neither at the same time but my attraction to masc aligned folks is always sapphic, but my attraction to neutral aligned folks is always achillean & straight, but im also both polyamorous and monoamorous but also neither and completely anattractional.
holy fuck i didn't mean to yap this much LMAOOO-
Having multiple contradictory labels culture is saying all your labels and it's like casting a spell upon saying all of them that vaporizes an exclus on impact
I'm aroace and polyamorous and a butch lesbian and a gay man and also bi and secret other things! All at once! And that's just my sexuality! My gender is another fun blend :3
I've been coming to terms with how complicated and contradictory my identity is and it's so freeing. My existence is complicated and I love it 💖
It's scary, cause people are mean these days about contradicting labels and I don't want to put up with people arguing with me about my identity like they know me better than I do 🙄 feeling like I'm in the closet again is so isolating. I'm scared of being attacked or losing friends if I'm open about all my identities. But if I lose a friend cause they can't comprehend my identities, they aren't someone I wanna be around anyway
I'm trying to coin a gender, but I can't figure out what to name it. How do you come up with names?
i think i've answered this question before, but i can't find the post, so i'll just answer it again!
i typically first decide what words i might like to include in the term. for example, while coining floracornic, i knew i'd want to include 'flowers' and 'unicorns' in the term itself. from there, i determine whether i'll be using the english word, as i did with '-corn' for 'unicorn', or a related word or root word, as i did with 'flora-' for 'flowers' ('flora' meaning 'flower' in latin and being used in english to refer to the plants of a region). i might also choose a translation of the word into another language, a synonym, a scientific name, etc. i usually list a handful of options to use for each word.
then i determine whether the words i've chosen will be best as a '-gender' term or a monolexic term ('monolexic' refers to genders that don't use the prefix or suffix 'gender'). for example, if you're coining an aesthetigender, you might go with the suffix '-aesic'; if you're coining a gender that you feel needs three or so words included in it, you might go with a monolexic term to avoid the term being too long; if you've only got one word you need to include in your term, you might go with the '-gender' suffix. i recommend checking out pupyzu's suffixes carrd if you aren't sure what suffix to use!
i just start combining things in various ways until i come up with something that i feel looks best, rolls off the tongue nicely, etc. i might drop a word i want to include if i feel like it's not feasible (such as my term 'plushlichten', where the only root words included are 'plush' and 'licht', meaning 'light'), or maybe i'll find a way to combine two words into one (such as my term 'lepidere', where 'lepid' refers to both butterflies and moths). your term doesn't have to include every relevant word if you don't like how it looks/sounds when it does!
i also always do a preliminary check to see if the term i've come up with exists elsewhere using my guide to finding terms by name. i usually just use step 2, the googling step, since it's the most comprehensive! you don't want to accidentally use the same name as someone else if you can help it.
this looks like a lot, but honestly, explaining it in-depth makes it look less fun than it is. just go for it! grab a few root words and combine them randomly until you've got something you like.
