All tertiary orientations (orientations for forms of attraction other than [[Romantic Attraction|romantic]] and [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]]) are nequent because there is no "standard" for tertiary attraction forms due to them being only newly named and discussed. There is no standard for orientations like [[Sensual Attraction|sensual]], [[Queerplatonic Attraction|queerplatonic]], [[Aesthetic Attraction|aesthetic]], [[Alterous Attraction|alterous]], and other [[Tertiary Attraction|tertiary orientations]], so having one of those orientations neither meets nor breaks a standard because a standard doesn't exist- so all tertiary orientations (i.e things like [[pansensual]], omni[[Queerplatonic Attraction|queerplatonic]], etc.). |

Similarly, all tertiary [[Anattractional Spectrum|anattractional spectrums]] are nequent. Just as there is no standard for tertiary orientation, there is no standard for the amount of tertiary attraction one feels, so identities like [[aplatonic]], [[demisensual]], etc. are nequent identities. |

Nequent refers to genders, presentations, orientations, sexes, relationship categories, and other related identities which are neither variant nor conformant. They are not the "standard" for their category, but also are not strictly variant either.
The most common reason for a terms being nequent is that they fit into a category that is either too new or not well known enough to have a "standard" for it. For example, the idea of tertiary attraction has only recently begun to be more explored, so there's no societal "standard" for things like tertiary attractions (sensual, queerplatonic, etc.). There is no "standard" for the amount of tertiary attraction one feels, or the genders one feels it towards. Tertiary identities generally neither live up to nor break a standard, as there is no existing standard to conform to.
Other reasons an identity may fall into this category include, but are not limited to: being both conformant and variant simultaneously, such as ambiamorous or demicisgender, or the term may be a non-LGBTQ+ identity but may still be in the general vicinity of those categories such as cis-genderless, meliusgender, kaitasexual, alterhumans, and some xenogenders.
History
Nequent was coined by Reign of the breadsticcs on May 15, 2021 and was inspired by an idea from the now-controversial FANDOM user Ariathatsme (who was a syskeeper, transmed, exclusionist, and faked systemhood due to finding it interesting.) Reign of the breadsticcs designed the two flags the same day.
Etymology
Nequent comes from the Latin word for neither, "neque", describing how identities in this category are neither variant nor conformant.
