These three terms collectively provide a framework for describing the orientation of nonbinary people without defaulting to binary-gendered orientation labels.
Lineage

The trixic flag draws on the nonbinary flag's purple palette to signal nonbinary identity, while adding pink (attraction to women) and orange (further nonbinary identity signaling). It forms a natural triad with the toric and enbian flags, which together provide an orientation vocabulary for nonbinary people. [1]
