The following text is a repost of my Tumblr post.
Radeviant
Radeviant is an identity related to the concept of deviance - non normative and marginalized identities and behaviors, such as queerness, transids, body modifications, and many others.
It is being suggested as an alternative to the radqueer identity, but unambiguously equally inclusive of queerness and other stigmatized features. While the original coiner of "radqueer" included other experiences under "queersexuality" and "queer behavior" labels, the term re-coiners removed this part of the definition, and the position of other identities became unclear. Whether they "count" as a type of queerness is a topic of debate, and instead of continuing this debate, I offer radeviant as an umbrella term, a bigger group that includes both radqueer and everything else.
This term was co-created by me and an anon during a conversation on August 10-11 of 2023.
The flag was made by @paraphilia-flags-and-more. According to their explanation, the flag shape is inspired by the concept of radiance, and the colors are related to particular non-normative identities: lavender for queer, pink for transid, gold for neurodivergent or disabled, teal for para, meanwhile black symbolizes potential inclusion of someone additional and grey may be used as a field to put symbols of identities we mean to highlight.#
