An ipseity centered around animals: when your entire sense of self is interwoven with animality. May or may not imply nonhumanity.
This flag is partially inspired by the alterhuman and transspecies flags. It begins with a white stripe in the middle that becomes an infinity symbol in the center of the flag representing all colors of visible light combined, a union of all species (including humans), wrapping around a yellow compass symbol that represents forging our own paths in a human-dominated world.
Black is for an absence of light, representing those without humanity. Crimson and purple represent ultraviolet and infrared, colors that are beyond the visible light spectrum and represent being beyond humanity.Magenta represents rebelling against the human-nonhuman binary, and blue represents self-acceptance.
ipseity (n.) – “personal identity, individuality, selfhood,” 1650s, from Latin ipse “self” + -ity “quality of being”
“I am proposing a category of identities called ipseities: labels that encompass the entire self, rather than solely referring to one’s gender, age, species, or other subidentities, though subidentities can easily be directly extrapolated from ipseities by changing the suffix.
Maybe you identify as a certain xenogender, for example, but you feel that its concept makes up more of your identity than just gender. Perhaps this would be better classified as an ipseity.
Ipseic terms, flags, and symbols are designed to be fluid, inclusive, and free-use. Individual labels are generally given the suffix “-seity,” though “-eity” or “-ity” can also be used.”
