Well the mercury symbol โ˜ฟ is literally used for intersex people. They also have โšฅ which in my mind implies a catastrophic crashing of planets.

Non-binary people use ๐Ÿœฌ, neutral non-binary use โšฒ, and agender uses โ—‹ (Source: Wikipedia).

Literally I wish mercury was used as a symbol for trans women. Literally the symbol for change and the unseen, for esoteric knowledge. Can you tell hermeticism is a special interest of mine

You aren't limited to just these. There are also โ™‡ Pluto, the asteroid belt minor planets (โšณ Ceres, โšด Pallas, โšต Juno, โšถ Vesta, etc), heck, even the numbering of individual asteroids are technically stand-ins for symbols

Fun fact: Ceres is considered a dwarf planet like Pluto. The only one in the inner solar system, though I believe they are still evaluating Vesta for dwarf classification.

I'm taking Uranus

EDIT: Ok, I'm reading that back and I see how it sounds

Uranus is โ›ข and โ™…, but I assume you are not talking about the planet. Although even for that โ›ข goes strong

To my understanding, the points at the top represent the wings that the god Mercury/Hermes had on his helmet.

The planet Mercury, being the closest to the sun, appeared to travel quickly as it went about its orbit (only taking roughly 88 days to go around the sun once.) As such, the ancients associated it with a god known for traveling swiftly - Mercury (known as Hermes in Greek mythology), the messenger of the gods.

If the drop down list on websites and forms just had these as options, that'd be pretty dope.

  • Uranus โ›ข - Gay, for obvious (and immature) reasons.
  • Mercury โ˜ฟ - looks like Venus but extra horny, so I'd say Lesbian.
  • Moon โ˜ฝ - Trans Woman. This is canon. Very canon.
  • Sun โ˜‰ - since Luna is a trans woman, symmetry dictates that Sol is Trans Man.
  • Jupiter โ™ƒ - Furry. Jupiter is the Roman version of Zeus - which prefers to be an animal during sex.
  • Saturn โ™„ - Polygamy. Married many spouses, and got a ring for each one.
  • Neptune โ™† - Gender Fluid. Like the sea.
  • Pluto โ™‡ - Super Straight. Not a gender.

Neptune is obviously a very closeted Alpha male who is deeply entrenched in the manosphere while furiously masterbating in secret to the most the most heinous gay porn ever created

You'd think that, but she's a femme lesbian with a passion for the arts, and is in a committed relationship with the more butch lesbian, Uranus.

Saturn should be the symbol for our dear multigender people, because uhhh quantummechanics, uhh superposition, uhhhh trust me it makes complete sense.

Oof.

Thinking about Jupiter sexually always made me uncomfortable. Zeus does some really bad things.

Earth people making symbols for others celestial bodies, forget that all planets and moon get a crescent shape when looked from the sides.

But think the moon is special for that.

Also, image upload hasn't been working for me on blahaj piefed, but does in blahaj lemmy.

I like Jupiter because it's the Retcon 4 from a 2, and I like when that happens
