Definitions and Usage
The galactican system of gender alignment was made as an alternative to the -aligned system. The criticisms of the -aligned system came from the ease at which one could reduce a nonbinary person to the binary gender they were aligned towards, so the galactican system used terms unrelated to the gender binary to convey alignment. The original terms (solarian, lunarian, and stellarian) were coined by several people on a discord server, including @moonbian on tumblr.com, and they were posted to tumblr by user @nonbinary-sapphic. Later, these terms were combined to form novarian (originally called solstellarian), nebularian (originally called stellunarian), eclipsian (originally called sollunarian), and galaxian (originally called solstellunarian). Another term was coined later by @stellunarian on tumblr.com, singularian. "Demi-" versions were then created for each existing term by @system-lgbt on tumblr.com. The term "galactican" was not used when the system was first created, but it is now a widely accepted name.
