Solarian is a non-binary gender / gender alignment from the galactian alignment system. In many cultures around the world, the sun is personified as a man, or is associated with masculine energy, so solarian is used to refer to non-binary people who are man-aligned and/or masculine-aligned. A solarian is someone who has similarities in identity or experience with men. Possible examples of solarian experiences include:
- Someone who is partially a man.
- Someone who has some connection to manhood, without being a man.
- Someone who has a gender similar to, but not the same as a man.
- Someone who is mingender/connected to masculinity while not being a man or having a connection to manhood.
- A non-binary person who presents masculinely (regardless of their actual gender).
- Someone connected to manhood through their experience with society. They may be treated as and/or have experiences similar to that of a man.
The term is meant to be a less easily abused form of "male aligned". Since there is no consistent definition of gender alignment, there is no consistent definition of solarian. Some non-binary people may fit some of these experiences but do not identify as solarian.
The feminine equivalent is lunarian. The neutral/unaligned equivalent is stellarian.
