Phosial System

The Phosial System is a gender system that envelops genders that are related to the kind(s) of light the gender(s) is in.

Identities in the Phosial System will often use the word part "phosial" somewhere in the name, in some form. For example, phoshroomial is a combination of the words 'phosial' ("pho-" at the beginning and "-ial" at the end) and 'mushroom' ("shroom" in the middle of the word).

Identities in the Phosial System may be referred to as being phosial, in the form of a descriptive word (similarly to masculine, feminine, or xenine for exmaple).

Common Definitions

“	╰┈➤ a label system related to the kind of light a gender is in. may be aligned towards a certain gender, but doesn’t have to be. ╰┈➤ subtypes can be combined in any order! ie ; phosviriflame for a gender in the light of a green fire. or phosdimial phoscrimsial phosmunial mingender for a masculine in nature gender in the dim red light of the moon.	”

“	the original definition of phosial - a term to describe what light one's gender (which is seperate from the phosial term itself) is lit by. someone could be a phoslunial man, meaning their gender (man) is lit by the moon. their gender may or may not be related to the moon or moonlight, but that is the light that it is in. additionally! because this definition of phosial is more of a modifier for genders than as genders themselves, phosial can also apply to other types of labels! the example above could also be a phoslunial werewolf kin, or their whole identity could be lit by the moon (& thus be phoslunial) ! its really up to the user how they use it.	”

“	(Another definition:) the definition of the gender itself is that it is lit by some light. to use the same example, a phoslunial man could be both phoslunial & a man, and their gender may or may not be related to the moon. some people use phosials to just mean a gender connection to a certain kind of light - that's fine too. & there may be people who use phosial in another way, and that's fine also!	”
