Definitions and Usage
Someone who is asteroidian (or adonic) is a man who is attracted to nonbinary people. Some usages of this term imply that the attraction is exclusive, but others use it as a synonym for men loving nonbinary people. The term was created in 2018 by orbisian-prinxess on tumblr.com, who has since deactivated their blog. According to the creator, the meaning behind the name is as follows: "Astroid comes from the greek word for star. As non-binaries are often represented by stars (hence stellarian) as there are countless billions of stars completely seperate from the influence of our human gender binary (unlike the sun and moon, having been gendered in religions and cultures through time), loving nb people as a man is known as being an astroidian, especially as men are represented by squares, and the shape of an [sic] astroid is square-like yet also star like, representing the union of men and nbs." It is possible that in the last sentence instead of "astroid", referring to the Greek word for a star, the creator meant "asteroid". The term stellarian, which orbisian-prinxess mentions, refers to someone who is nonbinary in nature, or unaligned.
