#toric straight

[noxwithoutstars]

I'm nonbinary girl and romantically like guys (wlm & nblm). Idk what term to use? I want a term that is an exclusive attraction to guys (not including masc-alligned nonbinary). Sometimes I feel like straight works well, but other times toric works better. I kinda thought of toric straight? Or straight toric? I haven't seen people combine those terms together. ~~~ Do you have another term I might like? Or maybe could you make an aesthetically pleasing toric straight flag? I'd appreciate it a lot!

Toric straight sounds cool! I found a few terms that you might like, Torion (first embed), Strayt (second embed), and Rubian (third embed).

Torion is a term for straight/strayt nlm (nlm is the same as nblm); someone who's non-binary, attracted to men, and straight or strayt. Strayt is a term for being straight but in a "uniquely non-binary way." Rubian is the term for someone who's nlm and wlm; a non-binary woman attracted to men.

You could also use Diamoric as a modifier for your attraction, as one of its definitions is attraction that is felt only in a non-binary way. Toric, Strayt, and Rubian are also all under the Diamoric umbrella.

I'm also queueing a Toric, Trixic, Tiric, and Tercic straight/strayt flags. Hope that helps :)

I wanna hold a boy close and hum for him while he falls asleep in my arms. I'm gently rocking him while he's in my lap and humming a soft song and he just falls asleep instantly and peacefully while I'm holding him

BOY KISSES. I NEED BOY KISSES

Do y’all have that friend that makes you really happy with just their presence that you can’t help but be a little gay for?

[our-abinary-experience]

"abinary people can be gay, lesbian, veldian & straight" & "orientations that are explicitly inclusive of abinary people need more visibility and to be taken more seriously" are two statements that can and should coexist.

i see way too much "abinary people can be lesbian etc." and not nearly enough people lifting up orientations that are more explicit in our genders or in people's attraction to us. tbh, this is true for midbinary genders too. there's way more "nonbinary people can use [orientation with binary connotations]" and not enough "look at these orientations that honour us".

trixic, toric, enbian and other mestric labels for specific genders deserve as much love as lesbian, sapphic, gay, achillean, veldian.

not to forget there are many people who are both! for some people, "gay" just doesn't tell the full story and they might identify as a toric gay specifically.

all abinary experiences of orientation deserve visibility.

*Specifically what you use most, not just what you prefer. For example, if you usually call yourself gay, but prefer to call yourself toric, choose gay.

this is a bit of a rushed post so i'm just gonna put the numbers, refer to the ask for what it means

[mestric-diaries]

so, what is mestric?

the term mestric was coined here and in short, it describes any attraction or partnership involving at least one nonbinary person.

in other words, mestric is anything that isn't binary-loving binary.

in other other words, mestric describes attraction, partnerships and more that don't fit the binary view of either gay or straight, due to the involvement of one or more nonbinary people.

in other other other words, mestric unites people whose orientation, attraction, partnerships etc. are erased due to the erasure of nonbinary people. mestricism opposes the idea that all attraction, partnerships etc. involving nonbinary people can be easily put into a gay or straight box, as specific mestric labels and identities are often erased or rebinarised, although gay and straight mestric of course exist.

mestric can be a specific identity, a descriptor for attraction, partnership and action and an umbrella term for an entire community and set of experiences.

the term mestric functions similarly to the word gay in that it can describe all of these things.

mestric as an identity/orientation label: nonbinary people attracted to nonbinary people, nonbinary people attracted to binary people and binary people attracted to nonbinary people can all claim a mestric identity. the label mestric may be used alongside other orientation labels. examples: a binary woman attracted to nonbinary people may identify as mestric. a nonbinary achillean might also identify as mestric. an enby who is attracted to other enbies might identify as both mestric and enbian.

mestric as a descriptor for attraction: attraction can be considered mestric regardless of whether someone actively identifies as mestric or not. examples: a panromantic nonbinary person may not claim a mestric identity, but their attraction to binary people is mestric. any attraction to nonbinary people is mestric, regardless of what orientation label someone uses.

mestric as a descriptor for action: mestric can describe actions, regardless of orientational label used. examples: two nonbinary men having sex with each other is mestric sex. a woman kissing a nonbinary person is a mestric kiss.

mestric as a descriptor for partnerships: mestric can describe partnerships, even if none of the partners identify as mestric. examples: a woman married to an agender person is in a mestric marriage. a maverique, a bigender person and a man dating are in a mestric polycule.

here are some of the most common mestric orientations:

enbian: nonbinary people attracted to nonbinary people

toric: nonbinary people attracted to men

trixic: nonbinary people attracted to women

astroidian: men attracted to nonbinary people

maedic: women attracted to nonbinary people

now you might be asking: "isn't that the same as diamoric?" well spotted, it is quite similar, however with an important distinction: the coiner of diamoric said that while binary people can participate in diamoric activities, they cannot identify as diamoric. with mestric, binary people are free to call their orientation mestric. the person who coined diamoric also said that diamoric specifically centres nonbinary people attracted to nonbinary people as the only group who should use diamoric as an orientation label. mestric does not specifically centre enbians, it doesn't centre any specific mestric experience but rather unites all experiences of alienation from the binary view of gayness vs. straightness. nonbinary people attracted to binary people and binary people attracted to nonbinary people are just as welcome to call their orientation mestric as enbians. this means that, in some ways, diamoric is similar to mestric, but overall it's more specific than mestric and more similar to enbian.

[transenbyconfessions]

I’m afab and even though I semi-pass as male, I consider myself agender. Even though I get homophobic reactions and remarks from strangers when I’m out with my husband, I don’t consider myself gay. I use Toric to describe my sexuality, but overall see my relationship as straight.

My marriage is (consensually) traditional. He makes the money and I stay home and take care of the house and cats. I even want to have children and live a basic, boring, hetero life.

Idk if I should use the term transhet to describe myself, but I don’t feel all that queer, just like many transhets do.
