Polyaspec is used when someone is a-spec for multiple, but not all forms of attraction. For example, someone who identifies as both greysexual and aroflux could identify as polyaspec. Polyaspec also includes tertiary attraction. It is not to be confused with panaspec, which is when someone is a-spec with all forms of attraction. It also shouldn't be confused with monospec, which is when someone is a-spec with all forms of attraction except one.
History
The term was coined by Ember-like-a-fire on August 15, 2021, because there were two labels for describing people on all a-spectrums, but there was no label for people who were on multiple, but not all a-spectrums.
The flag was created two days after the label.
Flag
There are 11 stripes, from bottom to top: black, grey, green, white, purple, blue, purple, white, green, grey, black.
The meaning of the flag:
- Black represents those who are almost allo, but are just inside the aspec.
- Grey represents those who are aspec, 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.
- Blue represents tertiary attraction.
- The fact that there are two black, grey and white stripes represents multiple types of attraction.
