The Galactian Alignment System or Galactian Alignments is a gender system created for non-binary individuals to describe their gender without having to use binary terms such as “masculine” or “feminine aligned”.

The theme being space was chosen largely due to the fact that space is genderless, but aspects of it are often personified to have/symbolise/be related to gender or qualities associated with gender in some way for artistic, religious, or cultural reasons.[1]

History

The terms used in the galactian alignment system were coined in August and September of 2016 on a Discord server with several Tumblr users. Around the same time Tumblr users Nonbinary-sapphic and Vergess made a post explaining the galactian system.[1] The combinations of the main three terms, stellarian, solarian, and lunarian, were coined soon afterward.
