Made some minor edits and added mention of otherkinian.
(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)) |

'''Medusan''' refers to someone who is alterhuman, nonhuman, or [[otherkin]] who is attracted to other alterhuman and/or sapient 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]] or [[otherkinian]].

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.
