Ply lesbian flag

(+ more multi-spec lesbian flags below!)

I'm a ply lesbian, so I decided to make a flag, just for fun! Also known as polysbian or poly-lesbian. It's based on the polysexual flag and the five stripe/community lesbian flag. There are already a few ply lesbian flags that exist, but I felt like trying to make one myself. Additionally, while the flag is polyam-inclusive, it doesn't represent polyamory. Ply and polyam are not the same thing.

Also, while this account is ply-centric, I decided to make some other multi-spec flags as well, in solidarity with other multi-spec lesbians. You're free to use them if you want to ^^

[ID: a peach background with three signs that read, "ply pride", "pan pride", and "omni pride" in black, each with their flag colors. Black text above them reads, "happy pride to ply, pan, and omni people! your identities get debated and hated, but you are a historic, important part of the community, and you deserve to take pride in that and yourselves." End ID.]

happy pride to the mspec folks who are constantly getting hated or erased by the community!!!! 💗💚💛💙

polysexual, polyromantic, polyplatonic, polyaesthetic, uhh what's more attraction terms

oh yea alterous

i love that multiple is unspecific

like polygender

how many genders? multiple isn't five or three

it's probably more than that but it could even just be two

although for me it's probably at least seven

there's infinite genders so multiple attraction just fits best

not super sure what type of attraction i experience though :/

maybe grayromantic or demi or polyrom

maybe it's alterous which is like platonic+/romantic? i think

although aesthetic attraction i've definitely experienced a lot

[mogai-headcanons]

Beezlebub from good omens is Aromantic, Polyaesthetic, polyaffectionate, and uses Ze/Zir, Rot/Rots, It/Its and They/Them. Ze is in a QPR with Crowley a Panromantic, Pansexual demon who uses any pronouns and Gabriel an Aromantic, Pansexual angel who uses any pronouns but mainly he/they.

sorry, but i can’t find transparents of beelzebub or gabriel!

One combo flag of these 4 attractions if thats possible I’m not sure my sexuality confuses me. 😂 bisexual in which I am male leaning, bisensual, omniromantic, and polyaesthetic in which I am female and male leaning or gender-binary leaning-

This is what I got when combining all the flags and tweaking it a bit. Poly didnt show up super well? But hopefully its alright anon! If not, you can request! ♡♡

hellos! thanks so much for checking out my little blog! :) my name is basil and i use it/its/itself pronouns.

here's a little bit about me! :3

» i play ukelele and i sing! (but not in public i have such bad anxiety) hehe

»i'm polyaesthetic femplatonic trisensual skolioromantic pomoasexual! but i'm also queer and genderqueer. my gender is very hard to explain and i've found that i don't like most pronouns. i usually call myself "gai" because it's easier :)

»i'm assigned female at birth but i choose to believe i'm actually intersex because my body can be quite masculine.

»i support anyone's gender and anyone's orientation! no buts! you can't help who you're attracted to.

»cis boys and men can be quite scary and triggering for me. the last time one touched me i relapsed ·~·

»no diagnosis? no problem. my mom thinks i'm just attention seeking so she won't let me get diagnosed :/ but that's okie! because i know me best.

» sometimes i have d.i.d. but only when i'm with lots of people. i also have bipolar disorder, anxiety, bulimia and anorexia. :(

» looking for a xirlfriend 😳

»i really like to draw and paint! and i do my makeup sometimes. only with glitter though hehe.

» i usually don't have dysphoria but sometimes i hate my body even though i'm trying hard to learn to love it!

»i loooove bunnies!

»i'm a little

»i'm a feminine enby deal with it

»i'm homeschooled

»tucute side of the debate btw, ik it's probably not obvious

»g*rl and b*y are triggering words for me.

»i'm from minnesota but now i live in iowa. frick trump tho.

»thats all for now!! if i can think of anything else i'll add it hehe.

Polysexual culture is being tired of explaining what it means, because everyone thinks it's the same thing as polyamory or polyerosy...

I don't see these slogans used as often as I used to, but I still want to talk about it, especially as a polysexual trans person. Be it as a retrospective, or as commentary aimed towards anyone who might still use these slogans today.

"[Bi/pan/mspec people] fall in love with a person, not a gender" and "[Bi/pan/mspec people care about] hearts, not parts!" are really bad slogans. Here's why.

"[Bi/pan/mspec people] fall in love with a person, not a gender" invalidates the love experienced by those whose attraction is impacted by gender, and erases many aromantic mspec folk who don't fall in love.

Falling in love with a whole person is not unique to those who experience attraction to all genders, or regardless of gender. This slogan implies that if you aren't attracted to all genders, or aren't attracted to people regardless of gender, it's impossible to love people for their entire being... "You just love the gender they have."

I'm a polysexual lesbian. I experience physical and emotional attraction to many genders, but I am not attracted to binary men. Gender impacts who I'm attracted to, who I'm comfortable being physically intimate with, and who I'm comfortable being partners with... But that doesn't mean my love is just about gender.

I identified as bi/pan for years, largely in part because of this rhetoric. I struggled to accept who I am and how I really feel, and a lot of it was fueled by slogans like this one. I felt like I had to give all genders a chance, because if I didn't, that would invalidate my love. I felt like I owed it to binary men to try... and to try... and to try again. Because, how could I really love someone if I wasn't willing to set gender aside?

(Among other reasons, because it was a very complex issue.)

And not only does this slogan invalidate the gendered love that many people experience, but it also erases mspecs who don't fall in love to begin with. Bi/pan/mspec people who are aromantic (or on the aromantic spectrum) exist too, including those who never fall in love.

Please don't devalue or invalidate gendered love by implying that it's less about the person than non-gendered love. Slogans like these harm mono-spec LG+ people, multi-spec people who don't fall in love, multi-spec people who aren't attracted to all genders, and even multi-spec people who are attracted to all genders in different ways.

Please don't use this slogan.

"Hearts, not parts" as a bi/pan/mspec slogan is not only dismissive of other sexualities/orientations, but also carries cissexist and endosexist connotations.

Using this as a bi/pan/mspec slogan implies that a person's "parts" are inherently relevant to other orientations. It implies that gender and "parts" are inherently linked. It implies that transgender and intersex people with certain genitals are inherently excluded from certain orientations, even if those orientations include their gender.

Genital preferences are not an inherent aspect of any orientation. In addition to that, some bi/pan/mspec people have genital preferences themselves. Because, ultimately, none of these orientations are defined by genital preferences or lack thereof; they're defined by how gender does or does not factor into one's attraction.

Not only that, but this slogan can also be alienating to bi/pan/mspec people who are romance-averse/repulsed, loveless aros, and heartless aros, for reasons that are probably obvious. Sometimes, it just isn't even about "hearts" to begin with, and that's okay.

The "hearts, not parts" slogan only works if used to explain the experiences of sex-averse/repulsed love-favorable people, because then "parts" refers to genitals in general, rather than associating specific genitals with specific genders.

Please only use "hearts, not parts" to explain how a person can be in love without having sex involved. Please don't use it as a bi/pan/mspec slogan. It originated during a time when transgender, intersex, and aromantic awareness was even less common, and it shows.

These are just my personal thoughts, but I hope that you take them to heart (no pun intended) and consider dropping these slogans if you haven't already.

Recently was told that being attracted to women and enbies "doesn't count as attraction to multiple genders," and that if you're attracted to women and enbies, you "should just identify as lesbian or straight."

As if nonbinary people are just an extension of women. As if nonbinary genders aren't real genders. As if enbian attraction is just an extension of sapphic or romeric attraction instead of a valid and beautiful experience in its own right.

And the person who told me this shit was also nonbinary.

I'm so tired.
