i try to keep things about all my OCs on a need to know basis, but i also feel strongly about visibility of minority characters! this page is for displaying all pride flags relevant to Silver. this is a lot of flags and though Silver is not very outspoken about many aspects of themself, they would at least privately claim all of these.

as also stated on my RP preferences page, i do allow for speculation of their gender and different pronouns in the speech of other characters,
but all non-speech must refer to Silver by their correct pronouns:
they / them

LGBTQ+

Though not everyone who can potentially consider themself a part of the greater LGBTQ+ community does so, Silver sees themself as part of the greater community and always strives to work in solidarity with all their LGBTQ+ siblings. As someone who has been forced to struggle for most of their life with being accepted as who they are, Silver's ire is quickly earned by all who attempt to divide the community or gatekeep who is and isn't considered "acceptable" or "(x) enough" to belong. Silver's feelings on the matter, and also for who belongs to any sublabels within the LGBTQ+ community, are Not everyone who can be a part of this wants to be, no; but anyone who feels spurned by society, anyone who feels like they've truly come home when they find this community is welcome and accepted by me, and I will defend to the death your safety and acceptance here.

agender

Silver considers themself to be wholly outside the sphere of gender and, by extension, are completely genderless. If prompted for more information, Silver will elaborate along these lines: Imagine a form, with a field for gender, that everyone has marked male or female, or written in something that suits them better. My form has no gender field. I'm not genderless as in a checkbox marked 'other/no gender'; I'm genderless as in that entire section has been forcefully removed or was never allowed to existed there in the first place.
Silver is not particularly attached to agender specifically, so much as the term is a widely accepted descriptor of genderlessness and ascribes a sense of being more 'official' that others tend to be more likely to accept, and they find community with others like them under agender.

amasculine

While Silver does exist entirely outside of gender and feels no connection or belonging to either binary gender, they are still most comfortable in neutral-to-masculine presentation and will always choose clothes considered to be "masculine" if forced to choose between only gendered clothes. Though they only rarely correct others' perceptions of themself, they are also privately far less bothered being perceived as male than female.

diamoric

As a nonbinary person who has never felt either 'straight' or 'gay' properly encapsulates their relationships and attraction to others, Silver naturally falls under being diamoric.

genderqueer

A gender-specific variant of the wide umbrella term queer, which Silver feels an affinity for as they do queer itself.

greyrose

Very few have ever found themselves to be the object of attraction from Silver, romantic or carnal, and even for those few Silver's interest in following through on those desires is rare.

nonbinary

Silver has never felt any gender they've been forcefully ascribed fit them at all, and as many others like them falls under the umbrella of nonbinary.

pansexual + panromantic

Silver finds themself attracted to many different kinds of people both throughout and outside the gender spectrum, with no particular preference. This coexists with their being greyrose; rare as their attraction to others is, it is always lacking preference for any particular gender.

queer

As someone who is quite reserved and, privately, deeply distrustful of most other people for a large variety of reasons, Silver has a particular affinity for queer. Queer easily communicates one's deviance from, or outright rejection of, societal norms and expectations around gender, presentation and sexuality, and has deep ties to rebellion against all oppressive social structures. These are all things Silver appreciates deeply, though maybe none more so than these are the only things that define queer; queer tells no secrets, allowing those who use it the power to be as forthcoming or quiet about the finer details of themselves as they choose.

queerian

While Silver isn't exclusively attracted to other queer people, they are particulary drawn to queerness in others.

sensualarian

Though their attraction to others is rare, when it occurs Silver often struggles to distinguish whether said attraction is aesthetic, romantic, sexual, any combination of these, or a general strong desire for some unlabeled connection. This can leave them in a somewhat confusing state for others, as for example when asked if they have a crush on someone they may respond with I... don't know. They don't seem to actively seek out connections that aren't purely friendship, and can take a long while to sort out their feelings.
Silver is easily as capable of being happy in multiple relationships as they are one, though they do slightly prefer being in just one, and have never felt words like polyamory were quite... right for them, as such things imply to others a dislike or spurning of single-person partnerships when Silver is simply open to the possibility. As someone with nebulous and difficult to define feelings, they feel most at home in a nebulous word with many possible individual meanings... like sensularian.

stellarian

A nonbinary identity unaligned with either binary gender, with a cosmic affiliation. Silver may be overheard jokingly describing their gender as being "space" or "stars" to people they seem comfortable with, but perhaps it's a little less joking than may first seem.

transgender

Transgender is for all who come to find they are not the gender they were assigned at birth, regardless of what gender they actually turn out to be, and though not all who can claim trans choose to do so Silver certainly does.

i'm sure to at least some people this is "too many" flags and identities, but for others – like this character and myself – there are never too many of such things. either way, coming to a page labeled "pride" and expecting anything less than this is hilarious and quite silly.

(also, i would hope things never come to this, but i don't tolerate harassment and harassing me about this page in any way will just earn an immediate block.
if you don't understand someone harmlessly different from you, either try to learn from them or just let them be.)
