Aliqualterous is an a-spec orientation in which one only feels alterous attraction under certain circumstances. Aliqualterous can be considered an umbrella term, in which identities such as demialterous are included under it. However, aliqualterous can also be an identity on its own. For example, some individuals may only feel attraction to a very specific type of individual, or only when in a certain place or at a certain time.
The sexual counterpart to aliqualterous is aliquasexual.
The romantic counterpart to aliqualterous is aliquaromantic.
The queerplatonic counterpart to aliqualterous is aliquaqueerplatonic.
History
The term was coined by Tumblr user Drachenauge on November 8th, 2023.[1][2]
Flag
The flag was made by Tumblr user Drachenauge on November 8th, 2023.[3][4] It's based on the aliquasexual and aliquaromantic flags by Tumblr user @genderstarbucks.[5] The color blue, which is the same as in the demialterous flag, was chosen as it represents alterous attraction, and to match other alterous identity flags.
