(The term medusan was created with intention to be inclusive of all nonhuman identities, calling it "otherkinian" would defeat a lot of purpose of that. It might be good for another page and as a similar term, but don't erase other nonhuman identiites. Undo revision 78358 by TheIcarusSystem (talk)) |
(Made some minor edits and added mention of otherkinian.) |

'''Medusan''' refers to someone who is alterhuman, nonhuman, or [[otherkin]] who is attracted to other alterhuman and/or nonhuman beings. This includes attraction to sapient monsters, aliens, and mythical creatures. This attraction can be exclusive, or one can be attracted to humans as well. A similar term to this is [[Anuafsexual]]. |

The term and the flag were created by Tumblr user Queer-Buccaneers on December 26, 2017.<ref>https://queer-buccaneers.tumblr.com/post/168973295337/medusan</ref> The flag's meanings are as follows: Purple represents alterhumanity. The bright purple was chosen to reference ultraviolet- a color beyond human perception- to represent the unseen nature of alterhumanity, an identity beyond normal human boundaries. Green represents nonhuman creatures, as many nonhuman creatures at portrayed as being green, such as dragons, zombies, and aliens. Green also references the snakes in Medusa’s hair. Salmon represents love. It is an off-color from both pink and red, traditional love colors, to represent the uniqueness of medusan attraction and how it differs from human attraction to monsters. The triskelion is a symbol that has been used lots in heraldry as a symbol for medusa. |
