Polyaspec is used when one is a-spec for multiple, but not all, forms of attraction. For example, one who identifies as both greysexual and aroflux could identify as polyaspec. Polyaspec also includes tertiary attraction. It is separate from panaspec, which is when one is a-spec in all forms of attraction. It also shouldn't be confused with mono-spec, which is when one is a-spec in all forms of attraction except one.
History
Ember-like-a-fire coined the term on August 15th, 2021, because there were two labels for describing people on all a-spectrums and all but one a-spectrums, but there was no label for people who were on multiple, but not all a-spectrums.
Flag
Ember-like-a-fire created the flag on August 17th, 2021. There are 11 stripes:
- Two black stripes
- Two grey stripes
- Two green stripes
- Two white stripes
- Two purple stripes
- One blue stripe
Black represents those who are almost allo but are just inside the a-spec; grey represents those who are a-spec but near the middle of the a-spectrum; green represents romantic attraction; white represents those who are a-(attraction) or almost a-(attraction); purple represents sexual attraction, and blue represents tertiary attraction. The fact that there are two black, grey, and white stripes represents multiple types of attraction.
