Common
Radqueer
(short for radical queer) is a fringe identity movement that promotes and supports a variety of controversial and harmful ideologies, including the normalization of all paraphilias, the belief in transitioning to another race or disability ("transracial" and "transabled"), and the trivialization of addiction and mental health conditions. Radqueers also advocate for identities based on harmful behaviors and concepts, such as "transpedophile," "transcannibal," and "transgroomed," which have been widely criticized for encouraging abuse and appropriation of marginalized identities. They are considered dangerous because they spread misinformation, trivialize genuine identities, and can foster harmful environments.
proship
pro shipping incest, pedophilia, abusive, or zoophilic ships. not inherently a radqueer thing, but I don't think it's inaccurate to say 100% of radqueers are also proship.
transid
placeholder for a transid definition.
xenosatanism
placeholder for xenosatanism here.
Blankqueer
Blankqueer definition here. Not all blankqueers (as they're called) are radqueer terms, but a large number of them are just radqueer subsets. Some blankqueer/radqueer subsets are particularly dangerous and openly list pornography of minors or minors in kink as something the term supports.
A
AHARQ xenomalady
a reclaiming of xenomalady for people that are anti-prat and identify with fictional illnesses. This was made with fictives, fictkins, coping people, atypically dysphoric people, roleplayers, and OCs in mind, but anyone can use. This term is against trying to become sick or harming oneself. This term also explicitly acknowledges that this is FICTIONAL, and identifying with a xenomalady does not make you disabled or neurodivergent. This is also anti-transabled.
altage
i was unable to find a proper definition, but this seems to be a pro-radqueer term synonymous with transage, and search results show pedophilia "themed" age terms.
AAM
adult-attracted-minor. this may be a minor who has a fleeting crush or someone older (which is natural/common) or someone suffering from
teleiophilia. in the radqueer community it's frequently used as a label for minors seeking relationships/in relationships with adults.
age of consent
The age of consent is the age determined by the state at which a person can legally have sexual intercourse. For someone above this age to have sexual relations with someone below is considered statuatory rape. Most countries set their age of consent between 16-18, but some in certain countries it is as low as 12, or as high as 25. Some radqueers and radqueer subset terms seek to abolish the age of consent.
alterhuman
An umbrella term that refers to a being who does not fit the common societal idea of what is considered human, like otherkin
atypical dysphoria
refers to someone who has uncommon, unusual, or strange dysphorias. This can be things like BIID/BID, species dysphoria, age dysphoria, xenic dysphoria, etc. These dysphorias are involuntary and can be very troubling to those who may struggle with it. Some may experience these dysphorias due to trauma, delusions, neurodiversity, being a headmate in a system, alterhuman (and it’s subtypes), an age regressor, chronosian, etc.
anti contact
(Of a paraphile) Against acting on their attractions.
abuse
the improper usage or treatment of a person or thing, often to unfairly or improperly gain benefit. Abuse can come in many forms, such as: physical or verbal maltreatment, injury, assault, violation, rape, unjust practices, crimes, or other types of aggression.

age dysphoria
dysphoria felt about one's age.
age regression
in therapy, a psycho-therapeutic process that aims to facilitate access to childhood memories, thoughts, and feelings. there's a large community of people online (especially on Tumblr) who age regress on their own to cope, relax, have fun, and/or process trauma.
age dreaming
someone who acts like a child, does childish things, etc. without actually mentally regressing into a younger age. rather than regressing, age dreamers simply ‘dream’ (pretend, imagine, etc.) of being a younger age while age dreaming. while age regression can happen involuntarily or voluntarily, age dreaming is a conscious decision, with the dreamer choosing to behave younger while dreaming. similar to positive age regression, age dreaming might be done for stress relief, as a coping mechanism, or simply to have fun reliving/participating in positive childhood activities. essentially, age regression is when one behaves and thinks like a child, while age dreaming is when one behaves like a child and thinks like an adult.
allions
An umbrella term for all orientations that do not feel like they fit under the “normal” stardards or expectations of what orientations can be. they may use concepts like space or plants to explain it, but this isn’t always the case. Based off the concept of xenogenders
altereffectis
i was unable to find a definition.
archetrope
an identity based on an archetype, trope or other role which is commonly present in literature and mythology. Examples of this include things like pirates, nobles, clowns, and rangers. This identity has a pervasive effect on the person who experiences it, and can be related to their personality, career, gender or personal values and beliefs. It is one example of an alterhuman identity which is not (necessarily) based in nonhumanity, however some people do see their nonhumanity through an archetropal lens.
altersex
a catch-all adjective to describe primary and secondary physical sex characteristics or a combination of that do not align with typical arrangements. some people don't like using this term because it was coined with furry ocs in mind.
aldernic
an umbrella term for individuals who have, or wish to have, a body that deviates from what is expected in society or typical human notions. Aldernic may refer to fictional characters who have a different type of body from humans, but it may also be used by people who desire a body that does not match any existing body or a body that is not possible by human standards. Usually this term will define people who desire an ambiguous, nonhuman, or other non-traditional body. It may refer to someone's “true” body, whether because of alterhumanity, gender nonconformity, xenic identity, or anything else. It can also define someone's physical body, internal identity, or both. Aldernic is not connected to being intersex, and does not make someone “between perisex and intersex”.

(synonym for allions) An umbrella term for all orientations that do not feel like they fit under the “normal” stardards or expectations of what orientations can be. they may use concepts like space or plants to explain it, but this isn’t always the case. Based off the concept of xenogenders
BPD
(borderline personality disorder) a personality disorder characterized by a pervasive, long-term pattern of significant interpersonal relationship instability, a distorted sense of self, and intense emotional responses. People diagnosed with BPD frequently exhibit self-harming behaviours and engage in risky activities, primarily due to challenges regulating emotional states to a healthy, stable baseline.
BID
Body integrity dysphoria (BID), also referred to as body integrity identity disorder (BIID), amputee identity disorder or xenomelia, and formerly called apotemnophilia, is a disorder characterized by a desire to have a sensory or physical disability or feeling discomfort with being able-bodied, beginning in early adolescence and resulting in harmful consequences. People with this condition may refer to themselves as transabled.
Blankqueer

C
cultural appropriation
the adoption of an element or elements of one culture or identity by members of another culture or identity in a manner perceived as inappropriate or unacknowledged. This can be especially controversial when members of a dominant culture appropriate from minority cultures. When cultural elements are copied from a minority culture by members of a dominant culture, and these elements are used outside of their original cultural context – sometimes even against the expressly stated wishes of members of the originating culture – the practice is often received negatively. Cultural appropriation can include the exploitation of another culture's religious and cultural traditions, customs, dance steps, fashion, symbols, language, history and music.
cult
a group requiring unwavering devotion to a set of beliefs and practices which are considered deviant outside the norms of society. Such groups are typically founded or led by a charismatic and self-appointed leader who tightly controls its members. It is in some contexts a pejorative term, also used for new religious movements and other social groups which are defined by their unusual religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs and rituals, or their common interest in a particular person, object, or goal.

contraumia
identities which one are not and/or cannot be, but find themselves drawn to due to traumatic experiences. This is a vague term, able to refer to identities one wishes that they had, identities one heavily connects to, identities one has shared symptoms with, identities one keeps intrusively thinking they have despite not, and more. Contraumia was created as a way to express these feelings without being forced under the transid label. People with contraumia do not actually believe they “should be” these things or want to transition into them. They acknowledge the feeling is a result of their trauma but still wish to identify with it.
chronosian
an umbrella term for those who perceive their age differently than what their body physically is, either all of of the time or periodically. This may include people who are neurodivergent in some sense, plural system members, age regressors, being trauma-stuck, and much more. It is generally synonymous with the term "chrono-peculiar." despite the fact that the original coining posts and all discussion from the coiner have been prefaced with the term being anti-pedophilia and anti chronological adults being inappropriate with children, many radqueers have "claimed" the term for their own and treat it like a subset of transID.
conceptkin
Identifies as or with a concept of some kind; This could be abstract and possibly (not limited) reasoned by spiritual belief that one's soul enveloped said concept, a coping mechanism, belief one isn't inherently human or due to strong connection

consent
when one person voluntarily agrees to the proposal or desires of another. It is a term of common speech, with specific definitions as used in such fields as the law, medicine, research, and sexual consent. Consent as understood in specific contexts may differ from its everyday meaning. For example, a person with a mental disorder, a low mental age, or under the legal age of sexual consent may willingly engage in a sexual act that still fails to meet the legal threshold for consent as defined by applicable law.
constelic
Someone who collects identities of animals, fictional characters, mythological beings, and otherwise; It is often done by choice, though it is not always, and constelic identities can be dropped, hoarded, and have priority over others. Constelic identities are often casual, “in the background”, or not very intensive, though this may not always be the case. Furthermore, there may be specific tiers of how much someone relates to said identities.
