Ipsevague Flag (liomdog)

“Ipsevague/Numeipsevague

A label & flag created by myself and @katsukascarf!

Ipsevague/Numeipsevague is a term for when one identifies with a lot of labels, to the point there are too many to remember and one struggles to properly count them.

This term is specifically for more than just gender labels, and includes orientation, gender, pronoun, and alterhuman labels in addition to gender.

The flag colours are based on the supposed “four psychological colours”;

  • Red representing the physical body
  • Blue representing the mind
  • Yellow representing the emotions
  • Green represents the essential balance between the previous three
  • Dark Grey in the spiral representing uncertainty, forgetfulness, and/or being unable to find a single term that fits one accurately enough
  • The desaturated colours represent one’s labels being hard to remember/easily forgotten.

Collectively, the colours represent that the labels one identifies with aren’t limited to one “type” of label, inside or outside of the lgbtq+/mogai community – e.g. alterhuman/otherkin terms.

Etymology: “ipse-” from “ipseity” meaning ‘countable and uncountable’, “nume-” from “numerous”, “vague” meaning ‘unclear, imprecise’.

ID: a flag with a large red oval overlapping a flared yellow cone shape. where the red oval crosses the yellow cone, there is a smaller, green cone within the original shape of the yellow cone. the background is blue, and the left side of the flag has a grey spiral shape on it. ID OVER.”
