Phoebian is a subset of solarian that describes someone who is masculine-aligned or has connection to masculinity in some way. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Someone who is mingender.
- Those who are partially mingender.
- Those who are connected to masculinity in some way.
Phoebian only specifies that one is masculine-aligned, one does not necessarily have to be man-aligned (helian) as well.
The feminine equivalent is artemian.
History
Phoebian was coined by Tumblr user Neopronouns on February 9, 2021.[1] The term was created because solarian encompasses a wide spectrum of identities, including both male-aligned identities and masculine-aligned identities. Phoebian was created as a subset of solarian for those who want to further specify that they are masculine-aligned (and may or may not be male-aligned).
Flag
The flag was created at the same time as the term. The flag has no confirmed meaning but is based off the appearance of other galacian alignment flag. It is also yellow, such that when combined with the helian flag (red) it would result in the solarian flag (orange). The symbol was added by Tumblr user genderstalgia on February 21, 2021.[2] It is meant to seen as looking at the sun from the perspective on Phobos (one of Mars’ moons). It makes use of a smaller version of solarian’s sun symbol.
