Definitions and Usage
The galactian system of gender alignment was made as an alternative to the -aligned system. The -aligned system was criticized because of how easy it was for one to reduce a nonbinary person to the binary gender they were aligned towards. To fix this problem, the galactian 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 (now deactivated) on tumblr.com, and they were posted to tumblr by user @nonbinary-sapphic. Currently, a post by @pride-color-schemes on tumblr.com has the most extensive history. Later, these terms were combined to form novarian (also called solstellarian), nebularian (also called stellunarian), eclipsian (also called sollunarian), and galaxian (also 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. Many other terms have been coined since then, related to other alignments such as xenic. Terms in the galactian system were coined for nonbinary people to use, but complex gender alignments are not limited to nonbinary people. The name "galactian" was not given to the system by its creators, but it is widely used by the community.
