Vermil

Vermil describes non-binary people who present in a traditionally masculine way. They do not necessarily have to be masculine-aligned or solarian.

Vermil is a term from the pallet system of non-binary gender presentation. It's used to describe non-binary people's gender presentation without having to use the binary language like "masculine" or "woman-aligned" (fiaspec). It is similar to the lesbian terms "butch" and "femme". The term was designed to be used along side the galactian alignment system, but can be used by any non-binary person. For example, a masculine-presenting feminine-aligned non-binary person could call themself "vermil lunarian".

The feminine and androgynous counterparts to vermil are cerul and pewt.

Flag and Other Symbols[]

The flag was designed by Tumblr user Elfiot, the coiner of the term.^[1]

The flag was meant to replicate the solarian flag’s warm colors. It has the alchemical symbol for fire in the center, as fire considered a masculine element.

Other vermil symbols include, the sun, fire, and "masculine" energies.
