| ⚫ | The '''stellate orientation system''' is a group of terms that may be used to describe the genders one is attracted to. All terms in this system are non-exclusive (meaning that one may or may not experience attraction to genders other than the ones they refer to). They do not inherently indicate that one's orientation is static or involves any form of preference, and they do not describe any information about one's own gender - simply that one experiences an attraction to a certain gender or group of genders in some form. |

The -stellic suffix is taken from the word "stellate", which refers to something that resembles a star in shape (derived from the Latin word "stellatus", meaning "star"). This theme is used simply as a naming device, to distinguish the terms from others (similarly to the terms in the [[Galactian Alignments|galactian alignment system]]), though the multiple points of a star shape may be seen to represent the many aspects of one's identity. |

It is possible that a heterosexual person may not feel that any -stellic term, or combination of terms, sufficiently or accurately describes their orientation. This may be due to the broader nature of the terms (e.g., binary men who are attracted exclusively to binary women rather than to fiaspec people in general may not feel that fiastellic describes them adequately - though such people could still identify more generally with the fiastellic label, and would be included when one refers to fiastellic attraction in general, since binary women are fiaspec). |

Latest revision as of 22:54, 22 September 2021
The stellate orientation system is a group of terms that may be used to describe the genders one is attracted to. All terms in this system are non-exclusive (meaning that one may or may not experience attraction to genders other than the ones they refer to). They do not inherently indicate that one's orientation is static or involves any form of preference, and they do not describe any information about one's own gender - simply that one experiences an attraction to a certain gender or group of genders in some form.
The -stellic suffix is taken from the word "stellate", which refers to something that resembles a star in shape (derived from the Latin word "stellatus", meaning "star"). This theme is used simply as a naming device, to distinguish the terms from others (similarly to the terms in the galactian alignment system), though the multiple points of a star shape may be seen to represent the many aspects of one's identity.
Usage
Forms of Attraction
These terms may be used to refer to any type of attraction. This includes (but is not limited to): any split attractions, angled or oriented a-spec identities, and fluid or fluctuating attractions. They may be used as adjectives to describe aspects of one's attraction, or as identities - whether combined with other identities or used on their own. They may also be used general terms, encompassing anyone who experiences, or any identities that involve attraction to a certain gender or group of genders. These terms may be combined with other identities in any way one feels is accurate.
Combination Identities
These terms may be combined with other identities in any way one feels is accurate. One may add prefixes and suffixes, such as "demi-" "-flux" "-fluid" and "-spike", to indicate a specific experience of attraction if one wishes, for example: "demitrixstellic" or "xenstellicflux". One may also add suffixes specifying a type of attraction, for example: "miastellic-sexual" or "enstellic-romantic".
Inclusion of Non-Queer Attraction
Though these terms were made with queer people in mind, identifying with a term/ terms in the stellate orientation system does not inherently make one LGBTQIA2+ or queer. Heterosexual people will, by definition, likely identify with at least one -stellic term, and heterosexual attraction may be included when a -stellic attraction is referred to more generally.
It is possible that a heterosexual person may not feel that any -stellic term, or combination of terms, sufficiently or accurately describes their orientation. This may be due to the broader nature of the terms (e.g., binary men who are attracted exclusively to binary women rather than to fiaspec people in general may not feel that fiastellic describes them adequately - though such people could still identify more generally with the fiastellic label, and would be included when one refers to fiastellic attraction in general, since binary women are fiaspec).
