Analterous Spectrum

The analterous spectrum (or analterous umbrella) is a group of alterous orientations that fall under the umbrella term of analterous. Individuals on this spectrum may completely lack alterous attraction or feel it so little that they relate more to the analterous experience. The common link between those on the analterous spectrum is that they do not feel the "standard" amount of alterous attraction or they don't feel it in the "standard" way. Those on the analterous spectrum, as well as the spectrum itself, are often referred to as "analt-spec" for short.

Flag
The analterous spectrum flag was created by genderfluid-ariel on or before August 5, 2019.

The analt-spec flag was created by Artillery Bombardment on July 8, 2021, and added on September 24, 2021. The black stripe represents suptilianalterous identities, the grayish blue represents mesi analterous identities and the three blue stripes represent the varying degrees of alterous attraction. It was inspired by the apl-spec and asen-spec flags' designs.
