A screenshot of InkFoundry's glossary entry for the Amphekis classes It reads, quote, Standard Amphēkis Classes: M/M: a relationship between male characters. F/F : a relationship between female characters. F/M: a relationship between female and male characters. NB/NB:  a relationship between non-binary characters. X/X: A broader amphēkis indicating a central queer relationship, where the specific genders are secondary to the queer nature of the bond. Gender Inclusivity & Specification: A foundational principle of this tag is that gender identity is paramount. The letters M and F refer to a character's gender, not their sex assigned at birth. This ensures the taxonomy is respectful, accurate, and aligned with the lived reality of the characters it describes.  Trans Women are Women: A character tagged with a narrative infix such as trans!woman is identified as F within an amphēkis. A relationship involving a trans woman and a cis man is categorized under the F/M amphēkis. Trans Men are Men: Similarly, a trans!man is identified as M. A story about a trans man and a non-binary character would be categorized under an M/NB amphēkis. End Quote.
