Mspec is an umbrella term used to refer to any sexuality or romanticism that involves attraction towards multiple genders. As with many identities used by the queer community, definitions can sometimes vary depending on age, region etc.

Fandom
In fanworks, bisexuality[1] appears to be more common than pansexuality,[2] reflecting the trend in more mainstream media. On Ao3, though both the Bisexual Character and Pansexual Character tags have been canonised, less common mspec identities such as Polysexual and Omnisexual have yet to be.
Events
- TMA Mspec Week was a week created 'to celebrate all canon and headcanons of Mspec characters in The Magnus Archives!'
