Gender Wiki


Solarian, sometimes written as solar non-binary person,[1] is a gender alignment term in the galactian alignment system, referring to non-binary individuals whose gender is man-aligned and/or masculine-aligned.[1][3] A solarian is someone who has similarities in identity or experiences with men, in the same way some cultures consider the sun to possess masculine energy.[1] It can also refer to someone who has a complicated but existing relationship with masculine genders/alignment.[3] The term is meant to be a less easily abused form of "male-aligned."[1][3] Because there is no consistent definition of gender alignment, there is no consistent definition of solarian. Possible examples of solarian experiences include:

  • Someone who is partially a man.
  • Someone has some connection to manhood, without being a man.[1][3]
  • Someone who has a gender similar to, but not the same as a man.
  • Someone whose gender is masculine in nature/connected to masculinity while not being a man.
  • A non-binary person who presents masculinely (regardless of their actual gender).
  • Someone who is connected to manhood through their experience with society. They may be treated as and/or have experiences similar to that of a man.[1]

Some non-binary individuals may fit some of these experiences but not identify as solarian.

The feminine equivalent is lunarian. The neutral/unaligned equivalent is stellarian.[1]

Common Definitions[]

Solarian: In many cultures and religious systems, the sun is associated with masculinity, and male energy. As a result, a Solar Nonbinary Person, or Solarian, would be someone who has similarities in identity or experience with men. The term functions as a less easily abused form of “male aligned.”
