Galactian Alignments

The galactian alignment system was created for non-binary people to describe their gender without having to use binary terms such as 'masculine' or 'woman-aligned'. Not all non-binary people use the galactian alignment system.

The theme of space used in the galactian system is because space is genderless, but aspects of it are often personified to have gender for artistic, religious, or cultural reasons. Non-binary people have also historically been associated with space. This is not to be confused with the celestial system or xenogenders, as the theme is a metaphor.

The Galactian Genders

 * Lunarian - functions as a less easily abused form of “female aligned.”
 * Solarian - functions as a less easily abused form of “male aligned.”
 * Stellarian - someone who does not experience strong alignment with either binary gender, or who rejects such alignment, with as many possible identities and presentations as there are stars in the sky.

Combination Alignments:

 * Nebularian - identifying partially with female-aligned, and partially with non-binary alignment.
 * Novarian - identifying partially with male-aligned, and partially with non-binary alignment.
 * Eclipsian - identifying partially with female-aligned, and partially with male-aligned.
 * Galaxian - identifying partially with female-aligned, partially male-aligned, and partially with non-binary alignment.

Demi-Alignments:

 * Celestian - identifying partially with non-binary alignment, and partially something else.
 * Duskian - identifying partially with female-aligned, and partially something else.
 * Dawnian - identifying partially with male-aligned, and partially something else.


 * Equinoxian - identifying partially with female-aligned, partially with non-binary alignment, and partially with something else.
 * Solstian -  identifying partially with male-aligned, partially with non-binary alignment, and partially with something else.
 * Twilightian - identifying partially with female-aligned, partially with male-aligned, and partially with something else.
 * Constellian - identifying partially with female-aligned, partially male-aligned, partially with non-binary alignment, and partially something else.

Other Alignments:

 * Aurorian -  fluid between alignments.
 * Singularian - rejecting any and all ties to binary genders without exception.

History
The terms used in the galactian alignment system were coined in August and September of 2016 on a Discord server with several Tumblr users. Around the same time Tumblr users Nonbinary-sapphic and Vergess made a post explaining the galactian system. The combinations of the main three terms, stellarian, solarian, and lunarian, were soon coined after that.

The term singularian was later coined in March, 2017 by Tumblr user Stellunarian.

The system was later expanded by System-Lgbt on July 25, 2018, to include more demigender versions of the alignments. Terms added include: twilightian, equinoxian, solstian, constellian and aurorian. They also created updated flags for dawnian, duskian, and celestian.
