The '''stellate orientation system''' is a group of terms 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 involves any form of stacity or preference, and does not describe any information about one's own gender - simply that one experiences an attraction to a certain gender or groups of genders in some form. |
