Galactian Alignment System

## Intro

The Galactian Alignment System is a gender system coined for non-binary people to express their alignment without using terms like “feminine” or “masculine”.

## History

The three root terms of the system, Solarian, Lunarian, and Stellarian were coined in either August or September 2016 in a Discord server by a number of Tumblr users, including user Moonbian.

The three terms were combined to create midpoint terms, including purely mixing the words together, rather than coming up with original terms (though that did happen later). This resulted in the creation of Solstellarian, Stellunarian, Sollunarian, and Solstellunarian. What terms were combined to create the new terms are fairly obvious based off the names. They were eventually given distinct and non-word combination names- Novarian, Nebularian, Eclipsian, and Galaxian.

At some point, all of these terms ended up being referred to by something similar to their current name, the Galactian Alignments.

Singularian was then coined as a term to describe people who reject the entire alignment system and, thus, cannot be combined with any of the genders/alignments within the system.

Later, a number of demi terms were coined alongside the already existing Galactian terms, seemingly coined by the same group from the original group. Two other demi terms, also falling within the system, were also coined- Neularian (Demi-Lunarian) was coined by Momma-Mogai-Sphinx (now mogaimom) on February 6, 2019 and Soleilian (Demi-Solarian) was coined by System-Mogai and Kalliepride on October 18, 2018.

## Charts

Two charts were made by System-Mogai to show the relations between the terms. The original, thought it had some misinformation- Solarian + Lunarian actually creates Novarian and Solarian + Stellarian actually creates Eclipsian- is the most easily readable, as it has the names listed in their categories. The second chart, which contains most, if not all, of the current Galactian terms, has the symbols used on the flag to represent which term goes where and how they're related to each other.

## Their Terms and Flags

### Stellunarian/Nebularian

Stellunarian or Nebularian: Either simultaneously unaligned/rejecting binary alignment and female/woman-aligned, or sometimes one or the other or both.

### Neularian

Nebularian: Neularian refers to a gender alignment which is feminine in nature, but does not have any ties to femaleness or womanhood whatsoever. What it means to have a FIN alignment can be different to different people; but if your gender feels in someway tied to or resembling femininity or your experiences with and understanding of your identity (whether it would be considered feminine or not) are shared with or mirror those who would define themselves as feminine, you may be feminine-aligned.

The term was originally “neufem lunarian”; the use of “neufem” was meant to signify femininity irrespective of gender identity (femininity as it exists outside of genderedness). The use of the term lunarian signifies that it is a subcategory of lunarian alignment, which some define as being either woman-aligned or feminine-aligned (this term being specific to the latter). A person whose gender alignment is feminine may or may not present/express femininely.

The flag is a combination of the Femineutral flag and one of the Lunarian flags.

### Duskian

Duskian: Duskian is like lunarian, except it’s like having a partial connection to lunarian.

### Soleilian (Demi-solarian)

Soleilian: Soleilian is a combo of stellarian and dawnian.

### Solstellarian/Novarian

Solstellarian or Novarian: Either simultaneously unaligned/rejecting binary alignment and male/man-aligned, or sometimes one or the other or both.

### Demi-solstellarian/Solstian (Optional: Solstacian)

Demi-solstellarian or Solstian: Solstian is to identify partially with male-aligned, partially identify with non-binary alignment, and partially identify with something else.

### Dawnian

Dawnian: A partially masculine gender alignment; being partially solarian.

### Stellarian

Stellarian: Unaligned or rejecting binary alignment.

### Sollunarian/Eclipsian

Sollunarian or Eclipsian: Either simultaneously male/man-aligned and female/woman-aligned, or sometimes one or the other or both.
