The term mestellic is non-exclusive (meaning that one may or may not experience attraction to genders other than the ones it refers to). It does not inherently indicate that one's orientation involves any form of stacity or preference, and does not describe any information about one's own gender - simply that one experiences an attraction to liaspec and/or lingender genders in some form. |

Mestellic is a term from the stellic orientation system referring to an attraction to liaspec (androgyne, partially androgyne or androgyne-aligned) and/or lingender (androgynous in nature) genders. This may also include fluid and fluctuating genders that sometimes align with these identities, or genders that partially align with these identities, such as some multigenders, though this term refers specifically to an attraction to the liaspec or lingender part(s) of such genders. It may also include an attraction to androgynous gender presentation, regardless of gender identity or alignment.
The term mestellic is non-exclusive (meaning that one may or may not experience attraction to genders other than the ones it refers to). It does not inherently indicate that one's orientation involves any form of stacity or preference, and does not describe any information about one's own gender - simply that one experiences an attraction to liaspec and/or lingender genders in some form.
Usage
Mestellic may be used to refer to any type of attraction. This includes (but is not limited to): any split attractions, angled or oriented a-spec identities, and fluid or fluctuating attractions. It may be used as an adjective to describe an aspect of one's attraction, or as an identity - whether combined with other identities or used on its own. It may also be used as a general term, encompassing anyone who experiences, or any identities that involve, an attraction to liaspec and/or lingender genders.
This term may be combined with other identities in any way one feels is accurate. One may add prefixes and suffixes, such as "demi-" "-flux" "-fluid" and "-spike", to indicate a specific experience of attraction if one wishes, for example: "demimestellic" or "mestellicflux". One may also add suffixes specifying a type of attraction, for example: "mestellic-sexual" or "mestellic-romantic".
Mestellic may be seen as a non-exclusive counterpart to terms such as linsexual, androgynesexual and andrsexual.
