Nociswomasexual also called Syncoric is the attraction to all genders, except, either: A) One's attraction to women fades once it is known someone is a cisgender woman. B) One does not feel attraction to women until it is known that the woman in question is not cisgender, or C) One chooses not to date cisgender women/chooses not to date women unless they know the woman in question is not cis.
The term is used by transgender, non-binary, or otherwise non-cis people who are not attracted to cis women or are unwilling to date cis women. The unwillingness to date cis women is not because there’s any inherent difference between cis and trans women, rather it stems from issues of safety, trauma, oppression, or other personal reasons. One may not want to be vulnerable to misconceptions, misgendering, or oppression from their partner. One may also prefer a trans partner because one would relate to them more.
History
It's unknown when the term was coin or by whom, but it existed at least before November 2016.[1]
The alternate name, syncoric, was coined on February 8, 2018 by Tumblr user identity-workshop. It was named after a moon of Uranus, as it is considered a subtype of uranic.
Flag
The first nocismasexual flag was created on November 5, 2016 by beyond-mogai-pride-flags.[1] No meaning was given for the flag.
The second, and most commonly seen nocismasexual flag was created by Mod Hermy from pride-color-schemes on June 12, 2017.[2] The blue being at the bottom represents discomfort/unwillingness to have a relationship with a cis woman. The rest of the colors being represents how the person can be comfortable and fine with other genders/people.
An alternate flag was created by Asphyn Falwell (Oddlyasphyn) on June 28, 2020 on the LGBTA+ wiki. The light pink triangle represents cis women. The dark pinkish-grey outline around the triangle represents the separation and disconnection between cis women to any other identity. Finally, the greys represent the gender spectrum.
Another alternate flag, based on the design of the original, was created on July 30, 2020 by Tumblr user Rainbowcoric.[3] The black outer stripes, as well as the line striking through, represent the lack of attraction to cis women or the decision to not date cis women. The dark red represents cis women. The pink represent any kind of t4t (trans-for-trans) attraction. The white stripe represents the trans people using the label.
