Does anyone know what the nongendered sign for partner / lover / boyfriend / girlfriend is? I've heard the middle of the face is used for nonbinary people sometimes (rather than the forehead for male signs and the chin for female signs) but I don't know the specific hand motion.

Thanks!

I've read that some nonbinary members of the deaf community are currently working to establish gender-neutral signs. I'm not sure otherwise.
