    '''Gender-Loving-Gender''' ('''GLG''') is a format used to describe attractionsome [[Juvelic Orientations|juvelic]] attractions or relationships. These terms are based on stating one's own [[gender]] and the gender(s) one is attracted to. Examples include mlm (man loving man) and wlnb (woman loving non-binary). TheseFor terms arethat based on one's own gender anduse the gender-loving-gender they are attracted to. Thisformat attraction does not have to be excludeexclusive.
     
    These terms are umbrella identities, and typically aren'tcommonly used as orientations on their own, however they can if one wants to. Rather, they're mostlyumbrella useterms to form a sense of community around a common identityattraction. For example, [[Lesbian|lesbians]], [[bisexual]] women, and [[pansexual]] women all fall under the category orof women loving women (wlw)/[[sapphic]], (wlw).because Becausethey are all attracted to women and these attractions don't have to be exclusive. someIn people,this suchcase aby thoseidentifying attractedas tosapphic [[Plutaric|multiplethey genders]],are andusually [[multigender]]emphasizing people,or mayprioritizing falltheir underattraction multipleto ofwomen categoriesover any other attractions that they may have.

You could experience that attraction[[multigender]] and/or participate[[Pluralian|multisexual]] inindividuals, thosemay relationshipsfall exclusivelyunder ormultiple of notthese categories. One may identify withas anymultiple of these terms or anysome combination of them, all dependent upon how one views themself and how one views their relationships/attraction(s).
     
    == How To Use ==
    The first letter indicates what you personally identify as. "M" represents men, those who are male-aligned, or are partially men, “W” represents those who are women, female-aligned, or are partially women, or “NB” or sometimes just "N" represents those who are [[Non-Binary|non-binary]]. One can fall under multiple of the gender categories at once. For example, one could be [[genderfluid]], or one could be non-binary but still have a strong connection to masculinity or femininity, or one could be [[bigender]] or [[multigender]], experiencing multiple different genders at the same time.
     
    === First Letter ===
    The second letter, “L”, is for loving.
    The first letter indicates what gender one personally identifies as. The most commonly used letters are:
    * M: represents men, those who are [[Demiboy|partially men]], those who are [[Miaspec|man-aligned]], those who are [[Man-Related|man-related]], and those who are [[masculine]]-aligned.
    * W: represents women, those who are [[Demigirl|partially women]], those who are [[Fiaspec|woman-aligned]], those who are [[Woman-Related|woman-related]], and those who are [[feminine]]-aligned.
    * NB or N: represents those who are [[Non-Binary|non-binary]], generally those who are [[Niaspec|neutral-aligned]], unaligned, or [[abinary]], but it may be used by any non-binary individual.
     
    Theoretically any gender can be abbreviated and represented here. Some lesser used letters include:
    The third letter indicates who you are attracted to, either “M”, “W”, or “N”, meaning the same as above. You could experience that attraction and/or participate in those relationships exclusively or not. One may identify with any of these terms or any combination of them, all dependent upon how one views themself and how one views their relationships/attraction(s).
     
    * A: represents [[agender]], [[abinary]], [[androgyne]] or [[aporagender]] individuals. Occasionally AG is used for agender, AB is used for abinary and AN is used for androgyne. This is usually included under non-binary, but sometimes individuals want to specify this attraction.
    *D: represents [[demigender]] individuals and forms combinations with other letters (for example, DG is a [[demigirl]] and DB is a [[demiboy]]).
    *GF: represents [[genderfluid]], [[genderflux]], or [[Fluidflux|genderfluix]] individuals.
    * I: stands for [[intergender]], [[intersex]], [[ipsogender]], or [[Assigned Gender|indeterminate]].
    *T: stands for [[Transgender|trans]], used for [[Trans Loving Trans|trans-loving-trans]] identities. It can also be used to modify existing letters such TW for [[Transfeminine|trans woman]] or TM for [[Transmasculine|trans man]].
    *MG: represents [[multigender]] people.
    *X: represents [[xenic]] individuals. X is also sometimes used to represent [[genderless]] individuals. This is usually included under non-binary, but sometimes individuals want to specify this attraction. XE is sometimes used to represent [[xenogender]] individuals.
     
    One can fall under multiple of the gender categories at once. The category(s) one falls under is based entirely on one's own perception of their gender and what aspects of their gender they consider important in regards to their attraction. For example, a woman aligned non-binary individual may identify only in the W category, or they may identify only in the NB category, or they may identify as being in both categories.
     
    === Second Letter ===
    The second letter is almost always “L”, standing for "loving". It is rarely replaced by a "4", meaning "for". An example using 4 is [[Riverian|T4T]] (Trans For Trans).
     
    === Third Letter ===
    The third letter indicates the gender one is attracted to. Just like the first letter, the most common are “M”, “W”, or “NB”, but theoretically any gender could be put here. One could experience attraction to that gender and/or participate in relationships with that gender exclusively or not.

    [[Category:Terminology]]

    Revision as of 02:25, 11 May 2023

    Gender-Loving-Gender (GLG) is a format used to describe some juvelic attractions or relationships. These terms are based on stating one's own gender and the gender(s) one is attracted to. Examples include mlm (man loving man) and wlnb (woman loving non-binary). For terms that use the gender-loving-gender format attraction does not have to be exclusive.

    These terms are commonly used as umbrella terms to form a sense of community around a common attraction. For example, lesbians, bisexual women, and pansexual women all fall under the category of women loving women (wlw)/sapphic, because they are all attracted to women and these attractions don't have to be exclusive. In this case by identifying as sapphic they are usually emphasizing or prioritizing their attraction to women over any other attractions that they may have.

    Some individuals, such as multigender and/or multisexual individuals, may fall under multiple of these categories. One may identify as multiple of these terms or some combination of them, all dependent upon how one views themself and how one views their relationships/attraction(s).
