'''Gender alignment''' is an aspect of [[gender]] referring to the way an individual's gender may intersect with the [[gender binary]]. This concept is often used by [[non-binary]] individuals who do not identify with the gender binary, but may also be used by binary individuals who experience an alignment with a gender that is not expressed by their [[gender identity]].
Gender alignment may be described using terms such as [[female]]-aligned ([[selenian]]) and [[male]]-aligned ([[helian]]), [[neutral]]-aligned ([[stellarian]]), [[Xenic|xeno-aligned]] ([[spacialian]]), and [[Abinary|unaligned]] ([[singularian]]). An individual may also identify with multiple alignments at the same time or their alignment may be fluid and change over time.
The terms [[feminine]] aligned and [[masculine]] aligned are also sometimes used but these are not interchangeable with woman/man aligned. Someone with a feminine gender is not necessarily a woman or related to women, and someone with a masculine gender is not necessarily a man or related to men. Additionally some non-binary people feel a connection to womanhood/manhood but their gender does not feel feminine/masculine. ▼
▲The terms [[feminine]]
Some folks use the term woman-aligned to include [[binary]] [[women]] together with [[fiaspec]] non-binary individuals, and man-aligned to include binary [[men]] with [[miaspec]] non-binary individuals.
*Someone who is partially a man/woman ([[demigender]]).▼
*Someone who is a man/woman in addition to other genders ([[bigender]], [[trigender]], or otherwise [[multigender]].)▼
*A [[genderfluid]] or [[genderflux]] person who is only sometimes sometimes a man/woman or sometimes partially a man/woman.▼
* Someone who connects to manhood/womanhood through experiencing man/woman specific attraction. For example, someone may be woman aligned because they are a [[lesbian]]/feel attraction to women as a woman.▼
*Someone with a gender similar to, but not the same as a man/woman ([[proxvir]]/[[juxera]]).▼
*Someone with a vague or partial connection to masculinity/femininity without being a man/woman.▼
* A non-binary person who [[Gender Presentation|presents]] masculinely/femininely (regardless of their actual gender).▼
*Someone who has experiences similar to that of a man/woman.▼
* Someone who is treated as/seen as a man/woman in society, or someone who interacts with society in a way similar to men/women. This includes interacting with the patriarchy as a man/woman.▼
The term gender alignment is intentionally vague and it can be used to describe several different things. Possible meanings can include:<ref>http://archive.today/2022.09.05-174553/https://wedontcareaboutyourbinary.tumblr.com/post/169860045173/what-the-fuck-do-people-mean-by-male-aligned</ref>
Gender alignment is something that one may identify as, but not all non-binary people use gender alignment. Just because someone identifies themself as a certain alignment doesn't mean that someone with a similar gender and/or experience will also identify with the same alignment or even identify with alignment at all.▼
Terms such as masculine aligned and feminine aligned as often misused and misunderstood by people who are not non-binary, and are sometimes use to imply that non-binary people are actually men or women. They are also misused as a way to try and associate or categorize non-binary people using the [[Binary Genders|gender binary]]. The [[Galactian Alignments|galactian alignment system]] was created as less easily misunderstood alternative to alignments based language.▼
