Lavenian

Definitions and Usage
"[A] Lavenian is a turian who is gender non-conforming. The word originates from “lavender”, a flower that is historically attributed to both GNC and vincian/mlm men. It is similar to the term lavender boy, but is specifically for those who identify as gay. Not all gnc turians need to use lavenian if they do not want to," says the creator of the term, @pride-wiki on tumblr.com. Note that "mlm" refers to men loving men, and that "gnc" refers to the term gender non-conforming. Lavenian was created in conjunction with the term turian, and both terms were defined in the same post, which was shared on November 13th, 2020, on tumblr.com. Later in the post, he notes that lavenian as a term is "all inclusive", and that anybody who feels they fit the term may use it.
