wanted shadowlesboy for myself and figured i'd also coin shadoveldigirl! the top three stripes of the flags are from the shadowlesbian and shadowveldian flags and the bottom stripes are from the lesboy and veldigirl flags. i recommend checking the shadow- posts for more info on the terms, since i condensed the definitions pretty heavily!

flag id: two flags with 6 stripes. the left flag's stripes, in order, are black, very dark purple, pink-red, very light blue, soft indigo, and dark blue. the right flag's stripes, in order, are black, very dark cyan, green, very light red, light orangish-red, and bright pinkish-red. end id.

banner id: a 1600x200 teal banner with the words ‘please read my dni before interacting. those on my / dni may still use my terms, so do not recoin them.’ in large white text in the center. the text takes up two lines, split at the slash. end id.

Shadowlesbian

Official Flag (left), Original Flag (right)

An orientation term where your lesbian identity is affected by the fact:

One is transmasculine, a trans man, transneutral, nonbinary, or just not a woman (includes multigender and genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux individuals), as one is either too dysphoric about being called a woman, experience a disconnection from traditional womanhood, and/or simply doesn’t identify as a woman or with womanhood. They may describe their attraction as any of the following: MLW; MLNB; MLX; NBLW; NBLNB; NBLX, etc – but they don’t identify their labels as WLW; WLNB; or WLX due to reasons listed above. With a multigender and/or genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux identity, one feels not straight when with a woman and/or has a fluctuating level of dysphoria when they sometimes view their attraction as sapphic/lesbian in nature, or as WLW; WLNB; WLX. To express that disconnection, the prefix shadow- is used.

This term also includes those whose orientation is fluid and/or flux, who may not 100% identify with the label of lesbian; due to barely ever experiencing attraction to women (or attraction period), having an attraction to women that feels lesbian but also not, having an attraction to women that’s fluid between being queer and queern’t, and/or experiencing attractions under a lesbian/sapphic lens.

In simpler terms, a shadowlesbian may be defined as the following:

Being multigender and/or genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux but never WLW, yet feeling like their attraction to women is gai/queer.

Being m-spec and not WLW, yet feeling a connection to the label.

Being too dysphoric about being called a woman/girl/being thought of as one, yet being either NBLW, MLW or XLW with a connection to the lesbian label.

Having a fluid/flux orientation where one’s not 100% a lesbian due to any reason, but retaining a connection to the lesbian label.

Simply feeling as if one’s lesbian, but also not.

.

This term was originally reposted on June 27th, 2022.

So years (July 19th 2020) ago I coined the Shadow- terms on my original mogai blog. Since then I’ve deleted that blog and one-half of the Shadow- terms do not have rebloggable posts out there, so I decided I’d repost the terms.

A while after (February 27th 2021) another tumblr user (@/thepokedexisgay) decided to make simpler alternate flags to these terms. I’ll be posting a link to their flags at the bottom of these posts.

I made the original flags based off of my original all inclusive lesbian/gay/vincian/etc. flags, and since I’ve remade those and posted them, I figured I’d remake the Shadow- flags as well, simplifying them and following the color schemes of my new flags. So yeah, some “official” flags for these terms.

That being said, I made the new Shadowlesbian flag based off of my Flowerbed Lesbian flag, so along with that if you ID as Shadowsapphic/ShadowQ4W or whoever else I mentioned could use the Flowerbed Lesbian flag, you can also use this flag if you feel your orientation is Shadow-.

(I’d prefer people use these flags as the official versions versus the originals, however if u personally like the other flags whether it’s Alois’s (thepokedexisgay) or the original ones, or feel like making your own based on an alternate lesbian/veldian/enbian/etc. flag, feel free to go on ahead.)

Yes, most of the definition in this post is ripped directly from the LGBTA wiki, with some changes to it due to my current knowledge of labels.

Here is the link to the Shadowlesbian flag made by @/thepokedexisgay, and here is the [link] to the Shadowlesbian page on the LGBTA wiki.

I know i talk about ShadowLesbians on here all the time but Duck Savage and that Doe lady in Lemuria had SOMETHING going on

[thepokedexisgay]

I wasn’t a huge fan of the existing shadow- flags due to the number of stripes and the black to white gradient. I also didn’t think some of the colors really... fit the identities (at least not with my synesthesia), so I thought I’d make some newer ones.

From left to right: Shadowenbian, shadowfloric/shadowturian, shadowlesbian

I’d be willing to make the others in the original post if there is demand for them. I have a concept for shadowgay already.

Question about -connec terms, what exactly does it mean to be connected to a label but to not identify as it?

Idk something about the definition of -connec terms is really confusing to me! The first explanation that comes to my mind is having experiences similar to that of people under a specific label but not identifying as said label yourself, therefore being connected to the label but not identifying as it?? Or maybe just like,, vibing with the label even though you don’t technically fall under it?

Any input here would be really helpful! I love to expand my view of gender/orientation whenever possible :)

(Everything genuine/positive)

both of the potential experiences you listed would fit! here's a variety of reasons one might connect with a label without identifying as it:

they used to use the label, but now do not (ex: i identified as a lesbian for several of my formative years and still feel a connection to that label, but i am not a lesbian)

they feel connected to the experiences of those who use that label or to people who use that label

they would identify as the label if not for some particular reason (ex: i feel connected to the veldigirl label because i like its genderfuckery but i am not female and can't comfortably label myself as a girl in any capacity due to dysphoria)

they have some connection to the label due to others assuming they are it (ex: i'm often assumed to be a masc/butch woman irl due to my presentation and feel a connection to the azurgirl label because of that)

they have a deep appreciation for the label while not fitting under it (again, me with veldigirl)

the same reasons someone might use a shadow- label (ex: a shadowlesbian might also be lesbianconnec)

in the case of orientation labels, not being a certain orientation but often having one's relationship labeled as such, causing a connection (ex: a bi man in a relationship with a man might be veldianconnec)

using a label for oneself in certain spaces for simplicity while not actually identifying as such (ex: a person with a very niche/specific gender label calling themselves nonbinary in irl spaces)

and probably more than i can't think of!

Shadow Astral Alignments

Shadowsolian (left), Shadowstellian (middle), Shadowlunian (right)

In a similar vein to my other shadow terms, these terms are to denote identifying as Solain, Stellian, or Lunian under certain circumstances or conditions. For reference one can look at the other Shadow terms such as Shadowgay [link] or Shadowenbian [link].

For these one specifically however, these terms can be used to describe being either:

Having one's experience as a solian/stellian/lunian underneath the shadow term or definition. Not fully or completely 100% IDing as those terms. Basically being a shadow mspec gay.

Being an mspec shadowveldian, shadowenbian, or shadowlesbian.

dissidenaligned/dissialigned

This is a term for attraction that isn’t “correctly aligned,” in terms of gender. 

For example, one’s gender may be unrelated to masculinity, maleness, manhood, and anything derived from or related to that, but still think of their attraction to men as mlm

Terms related to or similar to this example/definition: shadow- (e.g., shadowlesbian, shadowstraight, shadowvincian)

Another example would be attraction to two+ genders, but the attraction to those genders are differently aligned. For example, if someone felt like they were nblnb and wlw, but not nblw or wlnb.

This could be an adjective for attraction labels, so you could put it in front of a glg label, or any other label that specifies both the gender/gender alignment of the one experiencing attraction, and the gender/gender alignment of the one on the recieving end (e.g. dissialigned sapphic, dissidensaligned vincian and enbian, etc.)

Dissiden/Dissi comes from Latin for dissident.

It was originally called aliumaligned/alialigned, coming from Latin for different
