Can I ask for a hyperspecific microlabel?
If so, I'd like a narcissistic loveless aro flag, since I believe I am aromantic and incapable of/uninterested in any sort of traditional love due to my narcissism and the stereotypes surrounding it. The loveless aro flag would do just fine for me, but I feel like my experience is made very different because of my NPD.
Thx in advance!!

I completely understand this.
The flag is a mash of the NPD flag by npdsafe, and the loveless aro flag by aro-punkwave, the symbol is from a alt flag with no known creator.
Made a term for myself!
Deminymboycreaturething - a gender that's a combination of demiboy, nymboy, boyvoid, boything, boycreature & neoboy. A term for someone who uses all of these labels!
[Terms in order from left to right]
Demiboy - being partially but not fully male
Neoboy - being connected to masculinity, but different from how boys are connected to masculinity
Neomasculine - being connected to masculinity, but not in a traditional way; being completely separated and incomparable to manhood
Boything - being male/masc-aligned but also a disconnection from personhood
Boycreature - being a boy but in a creature way
Nymboy - being a boy but entirely disconnected from the gender binary
Boyvoid - being partially male and partially gendervoid
I just wanted to drop in with some links to some now-deleted but still very good articles on Transmasc Comphet (which is a term I think needs to be spread around more when discussing Transmlm social pressures)

I think a lot of it is stuff you and others who discuss anti-transmasculinity already touch on but I think it's another piece of language we really should be using (even though I know someone is going to find some reason to hate us more over it). Thanks so much for everything you do on the blog my guy
Every gay trans man on the planet needs to read this.
In all my many years of being alive, there has not ever been one other article that I have read that has resonated with me even close to the way that these two have. I used to think I was either a lesbian or a bi woman and would pretend to myself that I'm attracted to women when I am now, and also was at the time, repulsed by the idea of being romantically involved with women. I remember for a while I called myself a butch lesbian because it felt like the closest thing to what I thought I was (a masculine woman).
But something still wasn't right, because I'm not a masculine woman, and it didn't feel correct even at the time. I brushed it off and kept going on with my life as one does. For a long time after that, I thought I just had a fetish of myself as a man. But I think that accepting myself as a gay trans man was inevitable after I got really invested in the FOB fandom. Now, I am a gay trans man, and I feel so much better than when I identified as bi or a lesbian because this is who I really am.
Talking to a lot of other transmasc MLM has made me realize that my story is not unique. So many baby trans men identify as bi or straight for this reason before realizing that they are actually gay. And that's not to invalidate straight trans men—they exist—but I am saying that so many of us are convinced that we're straight because as men, that's what society pushes onto us. And even before we know that we're men, we subconsciously know that we are in some sort of societal role where we should love women, which is why, I think, so many gay transmascs identify as lesbian or bi before even realizing that we're trans.
One other thing that I resonate with that Klein brought up is the fact that it's impossible to separate my homosexuality from my transness because sexuality and gender don't exist in a void separate from each other. This is the main reason that I identify as nonbinary and am uncomfortable describing my gender as a man unless I'm making it clear that I'm oversimplifying my actual experience. By saying that my gender is male without elaborating, what I'm saying is that I'm like other men in some way, and that my experience of gender is similar to other men.
But that just isn't the case for me. I tend to think of myself internally as a third gender, separate from male and female, largely due to my experiences with being gay. In the framework of maleness, I'm GNC, femme, or whatever else you want to call me that basically means the same thing. The simplest way to describe my gender identity, and in my opinion the most accurate, is that I'm gay. I am like others who are gay, and I fit into that community. My expression, then, is built around a framework of being gay.
Often when cis people talk about people like me, they tend to put our transness first, and think of our homosexuality as being something that exists because of our transness while in my experience transness and homosexuality are equally important parts of my identity that can't be separated. I am not me if I am not trans and gay. To put it in simpler terms, there might be an alternate universe where I am female due to my transness being something innate to my being that I feel would still exist even if I was amab, but there is no universe in which I am not exclusively attracted to men.

more revamps of old terms and flags of mine! i both didn’t fully express the definition of the terms and didn’t like my flags, so i wanted to refresh them.
the flags use the top stripe of the recipro- flags to represent the fabricated attraction, white/grey/black to represent the grey areas of these orientations and the confusion they cause, and the bottom stripe (or two stripes) represents the actual lack of attraction being experienced.
the prefix ‘lusi-’ is a reference to the word ‘illusion’, since the attraction a lusi- person believes they feel is not real. also, for me, the experience of this term is inherently linked to my anxiety, but i decided to leave mentions of mental health out of the definitions because i don’t feel that these should be exclusive to mentally ill or neurodivergent people.
