Microlabels - Blog Posts

HELLO! I’m making a massive list of EVERY single lgbtqia+ flag (and then posting them wherever I can put them)

This is mostly to spread more YO, THERE ARE SO MANY LABELS FOR YOU GUYS WHO WANNA USE THEM, and also cause I find it fun for character creation!

If you have a Flag I can add to my list that isn’t seen much anywhere then please do either:

Reblog or send it to my inbox, with the flag, name of the sexuality, romanticality, and identity and then it’s meaning!

Microlabels are VERY MUCH ACCEPTED

what I currently have:

(I understand that I can go hunting for more but I find it nice for people to get to express themselves by showing their labels to other people)

All different kinds of the pride flags

Trans flag (will add trans masc and trans femme)

Intersex

Asexual (will grab aromantic and aro/ace)

Bisexual

Pansexual

Lesbian

AND THATS ALL I CAN ADD FROM MOBILE

But do please send in your flags for me to add! :D

(Reblogs appreciated but not forced)

coining a gender identity.

I don’t personally identify with this, but some people I know and a character of mine with L O R E do.

✨Paradox Gender/Gender Paradoxical✨

a gender that has a contradictory description (EX: all encompassing, yet non existent)

Two (or more) gender identities at once that should be mutually exclusive, yet are both present (EX: agender + pangender)

Flag:

Shamrock green: creation, life, all encompassing, etc

Pastel/baby Pink: affection, self love, acceptance, peace, etc

Black: nothingness, unknown, confusion, imperceptible, etc

I used an impossible triangle to represent the conflicting nature & hard to describe feelings of the gender.

(if microlabels. contradictory labels, xenogender, etc. are something you have issue with, then dni please)

my hot take is that i side-eye this whole intellectualisation of queerness sometimes. like, i'm all for discussing and critically examining our identities (bc oh boy wouldn't it be ironic if i wasn't), but i just get the ick with how often we'll explain an identity with a paragraph of text behind it

like, okay, take for example the current discourse around the whole afab transfem/amab transmasc stuff; while, sure, i think explaining *why* someone might feel like that label represents them is helpful, i also feel like we shouldn't *have* to

like, if someone wants to call themselves something, then they can. i do not think there should be an expectation to explain, justify, or defend their reason; the sentence "i feel that this label genuinely represents how i feel" is sufficient

i suppose the reason it bothers me is that i see it disproportionately directed towards people who use microlabels or contradictory labels, and it often tends to imply that the use of such label is not enough, that it must be proven 'legitimate' before it can be accepted

idk, i haven't fully sifted through my thoughts on this (and obv there is a lot of nuance i'm skipping over here), it's just something i've been clocking lately
