Anesian is a term which describes someone who deep down knows their exact identity labels, but often feels more comfortable using a different, usually more broad, label. This could be done for various reasons, such as wanting to avoid confusion, avoid being questioned, not being comfortable with getting specific and so on.
The purpose of the anesian term is to:
- be inclusive to those who identify with multiple anesi- labels at the same time or feel like anesisexual/anesigender don't fit. Another example includes people who identify with both of these terms but don't want to specify or constantly mention both terms.
- be seen as an alternative to personasexual/personagender and similar labels.
- be a form of a catch-all for not wanting to specify any aspect of one's identity without getting too specific (e.g. anesiromantic individuals might want to use this term, but avoid specifying the 'romantic' part).
This doesn't mean that someone cannot use the above labels alongside this one; anesian can be used freely with any other term.
Any form of attraction, identities on the polyamorous spectrum, those who use multiple pronouns and others fall under this label.
Examples of usage:
- A transfeminine aroace pansensual person stating they are a pan trans woman.
- A person who identifies with multiple xenogenders and anthrogenders (multiple Miaspec and Mingenders, for example) saying that they are a xenic boy.
- A girlflux eclipsic individual who states they are both a girl and a lesbian.
- A person who uses a lot of a-spec labels calling themselves aroace.
- A person who is plurian and monoflexible stating that they are polyamorous.
- Someone who defaults to their AGAB when asked about their gender due to being unsure, unlabelled, closeted or simply not caring about gender. This can also include cisgenderless people.
- A person who uses multiple neopronoun and exipronoun sets only revealing one exipronoun.
