This term may be combined with other identities in any way one feels is accurate. One may add prefixes and suffixes, such as "demi-" "-flux" "-fluid" and "-spike", to indicate a specific experience of attraction if one wishes, for example: "demitorstellic" or "torstellicflux". One may also add suffixes specifying a type of attraction, for example: "torstellic-sexual" or "torstellic-romantic". |

Torstellic is a term from the stellate orientation system referring to an attraction to miaspec (male/man/boy, partially male/man/boy or male/man/boy-aligned/related) and/or mingender (masculine in nature) genders. This may also include fluid and fluctuating genders that sometimes align with these identities, or genders that partially align with these identities, such as some multigenders, though this term refers specifically to an attraction to the miaspec or mingender part(s) of such genders.
One may or may not experience torstellic attraction exclusively (one may or may not experience attraction to genders other than the ones the term refers to). It does not inherently indicate that one's orientation is static or involves any form of preference, and does not describe any information about one's own gender - simply that one experiences an attraction to miaspec and/or mingender genders in some form.
Usage
Torstellic may be used to refer to any type of attraction. This includes (but is not limited to): any split attractions, angled or oriented a-spec identities, and fluid or fluctuating attractions. It may be used as an adjective to describe an aspect of one's attraction, or as an identity - whether combined with other identities or used on its own. It may also be used as a general term, encompassing anyone who experiences, or any identities that involve, an attraction to miaspec and/or mingender genders.
Torstellic may be seen as a non-exclusive counterpart to terms such as minsexual, androsexual, solaric, masexual, mascusexual and mascsexual, and includes heterosexual women (identifying with terms from the stellate orientation system does not inherently make one LGBTQIA2+ or queer since heterosexual women, by definition, may experience non-queer attraction to miaspec and/or mingender people).
