Iteration Three - First Public Iteration


This is the first version to be publicly available, so I thought I should start my devlogs here.

This device is built to standardize sexuality, but thanks to how fickle the human mind is, there will always be something more to one's sexuality than any string of numbers that is easily stated, so this device is a rough measurement, rather than a fine, precise tool.

Given that this is the first version, I will go over every feature.

In the Expressed Gender section, one will find two single axis fields and one double axis field. These, from left to right, are 'gender fluidity,' a measure of how frequently one's gender changes, 'gender fluxity,' a measure of how much a person's gender fluctuates, and the Gender Expression Chart. The GEC has two axes, one of which is femininity vs masculinity, while the  other axis is binary gender alignment, which ranges from androgynous, where one aligns with both binary genders, and nonbinary, where one is outside the binary gender system. Nonbinarity, in this case, indicates being traditional nonbinary, agender, xenogender, and anything else that cannot be described as male or female.

In the Bio Gender section, there is a t-shaped arrow indicating birth gender assignment. AMAB and AFAB are self-explanatory, while AIAB is short for Assigned Intersex At Birth.

In the Sexualities section, there is an adapted Kinsey scale with attraction intensity, along with no less than five single axis fields. The scale ranges from attraction to one or another binary gender on one axis, and from allosexual to asexual on the other. One of the five other fields is the sex favorability field. This indicates how enjoyable one finds sex. Another is the gender importancy field, which indicates how important gender is when gauging attraction. To the right of that, there is fluxity and fluidity fields, which indicate if (and how much) one's attraction changes in intensity and in gender preference, respectively. Finally, there is the Enby attraction field. This is whether one is attracted to nonbinary people. Bear in mind that all of these responses are not binary, and range from either 0 to 10 or -5 to 5.

A near-perfect clone of the Sexuality section is also found, which is the Romantic section, with the appropriate words changed. This is exactly the same as the sexuality section, but applying to romantic relationships.

The final section is the Stance section, which goes over several stances, including sex positivity, gender optimism, polyamory, and preference importance.
