Stellate Orientation System

The stellate orientation system is a group of terms to describe the genders one is attracted to. All terms in this system are non-exclusive (meaning that one may or may not experience attraction to genders other than the ones they refer to). They do not inherently indicate that one's orientation involves any form of stacity or preference, and does not describe any information about one's own gender - simply that one experiences an attraction to a certain gender or group of genders in some form.

The -stellic suffix is taken from the word "stellate", which refers to something that resembles a star in shape (derived from the Latin word "stellatus", meaning "star"). This theme is used simply as a naming device, to distinguish the terms from others (similarly to the terms in the galactian alignment system), though the multiple points of a star shape may be seen to represent the many aspects of one's identity.

Usage
These terms may be used to refer to any type of attraction. This includes (but is not limited to): any split attractions, angled or oriented a-spec identities, and fluid or fluctuating attractions. They may be used as adjectives to describe aspects of one's attraction, or as identities - whether combined with other identities or used on their own. They may also be used general terms, encompassing anyone who experiences, or any identities that involve attraction to a certain gender or group of genders.

These terms may be combined with other identities in any way one feels is accurate. One may add prefixes and suffixes, such as "demi-" "-flux" "-fluid" and "-spike", to indicate a specific experience of attraction if one wishes, for example: "demitrixstellic" or "trixstellicflux". One may also add suffixes specifying a type of attraction, for example: "trixstellic-sexual" or "trixstellic-romantic".
