Gender-Loving-Gender

Gender-Loving-Gender is a format used to describe juvelic attractions or relationships. These terms are based on stating one's own gender and the gender(s) they are attracted to. Examples include mlm (man loving man) and wlnb (woman loving non-binary). This attraction does not have to be exclusive. These terms are commonly used to form a sense of community around a common attraction. For example, lesbians, bisexual women, and pansexual women all fall under the category of sapphic (wlw), 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 emphasizing or prioritizing their attraction to women over any other attractions that they may have.

Some people, such as multigender and/or multisexual people, 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).

How To Use

First Letter

The first letter indicates what gender you personally identify as. The most commonly used letters are:

• M: represents men, those who are partially men, those who are man-aligned, and those who are masculine-aligned.
• W: represents women, those who are partially women, those who are woman-aligned, and those who are feminine-aligned.
• NB or N: represents those who are non-binary, generally those who are neutral-aligned, unaligned, or abinary, but it may be used by any non-binary people.

Theoretically any gender can be abbreviated and represented here. Some other, lesser used letters include:

• A: sometimes represents agender people and sometimes represents abinary people. Occasionally AG is used for agender and AB is used for abinary. This is usually included under non-binary, but sometimes people want to specify this attraction.
• X: represents xenic people. X is also sometimes used to represent genderless people. This is usually included under non-binary, but sometimes people want to specify this attraction.

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, their attraction, and what they consider important to their gender and attraction. For example, a woman aligned non-binary person 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 always “L”, standing for "loving".

Third Letter

The third letter indicates who you are attracted to. It is most commonly “M”, “W”, or “NB”, but just like the first letter is could theoretically indicate any gender. One could experience that attraction and/or participate in those relationships exclusively or not.
