heternary

"Heternary" - A combination of "heterosexual" and "ternary," implying a three-part classification. In this word, "hetero-" signifies heterosexual orientation, and "nary" suggests a categorical division. The suffix "-nary" is often used in English to denote sets of three, such as "ternary" in mathematics, which refers to a system based on three digits. The term "heternary" thus encapsulates both the sexual orientation and gender identity of heterosexual individuals.

"Emily proudly identifies as heternary, affirming both her heterosexual orientation and her gender identity as a woman."

Heterarchism

from "heteros" ("other") and "archon" ("power"): 1. A system that involves complex "nesting," or "strange loops" of relations of power, so that one node may be simultaneously above and below itself. Example: a is above b, b is above c, c is above a. Real life example: checks and balances in the United States government. The Judicial Branch, for example, is "above" the Executive, in that the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of constitutionality, and therefore can rule a Presidential Order unconstitutional and strike it down; but the Executive is "above" the Judicial, in that the President appoints Supreme Court Justices. No one node is at the top of the hierarchy, and therefore the system is heterarchical. 2. A movement whose purpose is to establish a heterarchy. 3. A movement that subverts, destabilizes, and seeks to abolish hierarchical relations, without (necessarily) believing in a utopian future where there will be no more power relations (in this sense, heterarchism is distinct from anarchism). 4. Any movement that seeks to empower those who are excluded from existing power elites - i.e. that seeks to empower "the others" (thus "other power" - heterarchy).

I'm not an anarchist, I'm a heterarchist. I'm pretty skeptical that there will ever be any kind of perfect society in which no one has power over anyone else, but I think that instead of focusing on this magical world in the future, we should focus on how we can fight oppression here and now. That's why I believe in heterarchism.

heterarchy

he-ter-ar-chy (hět'ə-r-är'kē)

1. a form of social organization in which the heterosexual is the supreme authority in society or in which homosexuals are placed at low value and lowly regarded.
2. a society, community, or country based on this social organization.
3. A family, community, or society based on this system or governed by heterosexuals and, usually homophobes.

With all these homophobes in the white house, our country feels like a complete heterarchy.

The new gay senator is bringing down the heterarchy.

Hibernary Sexual

One who hibernates from the world in the winter months and swears off all sex until the warmer springtime hits.

Identifying as a hibernary sexual combines my lack of intercourse in the colder months and my general distaste for humans in general.
