Mestellic

Mestellic is a term from the stellate orientation system referring to an attraction to liaspec (androgyne, partially androgyne or androgyne-aligned) and/or lingender (androgynous in nature) genders. This may also include fluid and fluctuating genders that sometimes align with these identities, or genders that partially align with these identities, such as some multigenders, though this term refers specifically to an attraction to the liaspec or lingender part(s) of such genders.

One may or may not experience mestellic attraction exclusively (one may or may not experience attraction to genders other than the ones the term refers to). It does not inherently indicate that one's orientation is static or involves any form of preference, and does not describe any information about one's own gender - simply that one experiences an attraction to liaspec and/or lingender genders in some form.

Usage
Mestellic 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. It may be used as an adjective to describe an aspect of one's attraction, or as an identity - whether combined with other identities or used on its own. It may also be used as a general term, encompassing anyone who experiences, or any identities that involve, an attraction to liaspec and/or lingender genders.

Mestellic may be seen as a non-exclusive counterpart to terms such as linsexual, androgynesexual and andrsexual.
