Hyperqueer/+HYQ+

Or Hyperlabeled / +HYL+

User of multiple microlabels. Using many labels because you feel like your identity is just broad and it’s important to you to be specific. This label can be a way to shorten your identity, to show that there is more to your queer identity

-repost with slightly updated def / flag design-

[redtail-lol]

"labels are so limiting" to you

"labels are just boxes" to you

"labels are useless and unnecessary" to you

"love doesn't need a label" maybe yours doesn't

Unlabeled people are valid and so are hyperlabelers

[bilesproblems]

People say they love complex queer identities and all they mean is trans lesbian, omnisexual, or nonbinary asexual biromantic (both very valid identities but really simple.) On occasion they'll like someone who identifies as bipan or bipoly or panomni or all 4 main mspec labels.

They can't handle aroallos, you're right, and aroallos aren't even complex. They can handle alloaces by infantalizing them as being pure but our weird culture views sex without love as inherently wrong.

They can't handle bi lesbians, even when their lesbian definition is completely compatible with the mspec label

They can't handle non-aspec split attraction model users any better than they handle aspec SAM users.

They can't handle lesboys or turigirls or enbian men and women

They can't handle nonbinary men and nonbinary women

They can't handle xenogenders or xenoboys nor xenogirls

They can't handle non-binary people who aren't in between the binary genders but have a gender. It's either man, woman, both/mixed, or nothing, and everyone like me ruins that

None of them can even handle multigender people, even if they can handle the label, and don't even get me started on accepting the way we label ourselves in terms of orientation. This goes for genderfluid people too.

They can't handle cistrans people

They definitely can't handle straight gays/lesbians or mspec straights. They can't handle nonbinary straights.

Termcollectors can just go to hell we're way too complex for them to even begin to fathom.

I can only imagine how much worse it is for the aroallos who are these things.

The pan lesbian aroallos, who "don't have the 'excuse' of the SAM" to use the labels that feel right.

The lesboy aroallo who's just called a heartless straight man

The aroallo who identifies as a nonbinary woman

The stargender xenoboy aroallo

The maverique aroallo

The cistrans bigender boygirl who's a straight veldian and aroallo

The aroallo who finds solace in hyperlabeling their gender or their sexual and tertiary attractions

If you're an aroallo who's following this blog know I think you're so cool and if you have complex identity I hope you know that you're awesome

"i love complex queer identities" you guys can't even handle aroallos.

"you know you dont have to have such specific labels right? you know its only going to alienate you right?" i use hyperspecific labels because i have NEVER had a solid identity. i literally have a disorder that prevents me from forming one solid identity. hyperlabels help me understand myself because i can look at them and go "ah yes, thats me!" without them i spiral trying to figure out who i am. not to mention posts like these just assume if you use hyperlabels you arent going to be using more broad labels, too. maybe hyperlabels arent for you but that doesnt mean you get to just say everyone who uses them is going to be negatively affected

Oh boy I love writing essays. Btw... THIS is the guy you've got a crush on? Really? You need better taste in friends let alone love interests smh /teasing /silly anyway this essay will be informative but take an angry tone

To Dickhead:

You may find someone's large list of labels stupid, but that is only because you do not know the joy of them. Queer labels, like all labels, are ways to quickly describe someone else that would otherwise require an explanation. Queer labels give us, as queer people, a name, symbol, and community for people who are like us. However, labels are often simple and only describe so much of a person. The human condition is varying, and includes many experiences. That, and the fact that many labels have overlapping definitions, is why some of us like having many labels. Yes, some are fine with just 1 or 2, and may be uncomfortable with others, but some others enjoy hyperlabeling or even need to use several just to really convey properly what they experience. Finding new labels is a fun way queer people can explore their identity, and find more people like them. You shouldn't ridicule someone because their experience can be described in more than one label, or because one label won't fully capture their human experience.

Besides, it's extra insensitive because I know you're not just obliviously sharing your opinion. You found someone like me and are telling me they're stupid so you can indirectly imply you think I'm stupid. You do it to get a rise out of me. You just wanna be upsetting and I don't see why you'd want to do that to me if we're supposed to be friends. Honestly if you really, truly believe this person is stupid for their labels I don't think we can be friends anymore. I don't want to be friends with someone who is just judgemental of others, and judgemental of me. You judging cringey queers for having more than 5 labels is no better than judging queer people for being queer. It's just as bigoted and it's just as much your business what labels someone uses as it is your business who someone wants to be or wants to be with.

I hope you do some serious reflecting of the kind of person that you are. I hope you can learn tolerance, and to not judge others because you think they're weird and dumb. Maybe you should try to explore your own identity and realize that there is joy in having many labels. For now, please don't speak to me until you have changed your way of thinking and can keep your mind open. Live and let live.

My friend showed me a tiktok of a persons discord account that had been screenshotted, and their profile had lots of roles with lots of queer labels. Many of them being gender related and trans labels. He was like "wow isn't that stupid" once it was over. And its like. He knows I'm bigender, and go by a multitude of queer labels. And it beyond pisses me of that he has the fucking audacity to do that. And when he saw mg face and how pissed I was he was like "what's wrong?" And I said "Oh, sorry, I just don't like it when I see queer people being made fun of, since yk, I fucking am one" and he got mad at me and said I was having a bitch fit.

Anyways all this being said if anyone want to help me type up an essay on why he is dickhead feel free bc this is genuinely going to be the straw that breaks the camels back for me. I'm already so beyond stressed, I do not fucking need his ass to be acting like this and I will fucking set him straight or I just won't be his friend anymore and I mean this. Is is coming from cyris, btw, the person who has a crush on this guy. Not oblivion. So, yk, if anyone cared.

So is it wrong to feel like you are pansexual rather than bisexual for what ever reason? Like maybe you are non-binary and don’t like gender labels in any way and feel pansexual was fluid in a way that bisexual lay seemed more rigid. I’m just asking because navigating through all this is a lot and seems like some one is offended either way. Is it inherently wrong to expand the queer identities into smaller subcategories that make people feel more known?

No, your feeling isn't wrong. My point is your identity isn't wrong.

The words you're using to describe the feeling are not 'wrong' they are harmful. The ideas you may have can be wrong.

For instance, the idea that you feel inherently different than anyone who is bisexual is incorrect. What you feel- the openness of your attraction- is already part of bisexuality and it has a long history and it deserves credit for that rather than people saying 'unlike all those other bisexuals, my gender/attraction is broad and complex'. Like...do you get me? That's what being bisexual is and anyone saying that it's narrower or more binary than that is just wrong.

Also I think a lot of ppl do not understand how root words work bc something can have the same root word but that root is not being used to denote the same thing. So again, the bi in bisexual doesn't mean men/women.

Also also, again, let's not talk about what's 'wrong' or not bc THAT is a a binary itself. Stop. thinking. in. binaries. Especially 'good/evil' ones. Come on! :shakes you:

Now listen.

I don't know how to tell you this: but you and microlabels aren't expanding anything.

Y'all are not the first people to be this way.

Making more labels only makes more divisions ESPECIALLY- and this is very important: because these labels are not inherently more accurate. It is not helpful to mince yourself up into the most accurate hyperlabel you can because no label is actually meant to account for every possible complexity of human experience and there is no meaningful way to compare your internal experience to others.

You don't feel exactly like another LGBT person? No shit! Welcome to having a unique internal experience! That's life.

It's soooo presumptuous to also assume that the labels people have been using all this time don't have value, or that the people who came before you just don't know what they're talking about, or they were not capable of the ~complexity~ of your internal experience. Almost the entire concept of gender as you know it is a colonial construct no more than 500 years old. We’ve been around for millenia longer than that. Your internal experience of gender is not new, the words and ideas around it are.

These labels are already umbrellas. That's the point. If you want to be more accurate just use a fucking sentence. Like sorry to be so terse about this but it's driving us up a wall seeing y'all create new separations and labels to accuately describe every minutae of your attraction when your gender expression and attraction are likely to shift and evolve over time ANYWAY and just telling people "I'm bisexual; generally I'm more attracted to gnc people" or whatever works very well.

You can just TALK to people you literally do not need a label for every facet of your attraction when 90% of the people you come across aren't even tryna get that close to you in the first place. Being able to navigate and express your attraction in a nuanced way is something you ned to learn to do, idk why y'all are so desperate to find the smallest possible box to fit in- and make no mistake- that's exactly what a microlabel is.

Lastly and this is just fact: bisexual 'seemed' more rigid to you because there were things about bisexuality you didn't know. Now you do. You say you're fluid? Then adjust accordingly.

Hyperlabelling and orientations that tack your mental illnesses onto sexual orientation are beyond horrible with the implications being 1. Orientation is comparable to mental illness (rhetoric that the LGBT+ community has been fighting against for years) 2. Mental illness and its symptoms are as unchangable as sexuality

You dont need a sexual orientation prefix for ‘mental illness gets in the way of my experiences’ that’s called 'Having A Mental Illness’ you fucks.

i dont believe in structuring expressions of love as love languages bc ive come to hate the hyperlabeling americans get into and also i think its reductive but if i had to pick a love language that doesnt apply to me its affirmation. i really fucking hate being affirmed. it feels like my friends and lovers are trying to smooth ruffled feathers that i dont have or assuage fears i dont have or boost my confidence when i dont need it. im completely sure of myself, my thoughts, and feelings. im never not "valid" and i dont think feelings should be placed on the axis of validity. i know my feelings are real and that they come from somewhere with cause. and i know how to examine them critically. idc abt "validity".

i literally dont need you to tell me its okay that i might not like an author's writing style. stop it. im not some teary mess we're just having a discussion abt books.

[redtail-lol]

i just found your blog through your post about the validity of hyperlabelers and as an unlabeled/someone with limited labels i say hello labels are so unneccessary. to me. not to you. and thats okay. YOU collect the labels and YOU can keep collecting the labels because you can. and everyone else can shut the fuck up about it because your labels are YOUR labels. YOU can never have too many labels protecting you from the gatekeepers. stay safe and goodbye

You are so real for this anon. Being unlabeled can be a huge comfort for some people and collecting is a huge comfort for me. It's a very fun hobby too. And I feel like most actually unlabeled people fully understand this point, and don't try and make fun of people with too many labels. It's mostly those with only a few labels (esp fucking monoallocishets my sister is the worst about it she talks shit about people with 50 labels and is mad about me apparently being obsessed with labels when she only knows about 5 of them, she has no idea I'm a proud owner of 200+ and its still too much for her to handle) who throw fits about the weird queers and our many labels.

Personal theory monoallocishets are the worst because they're assumed to be monosexual, monogendered, monogamous, allosexual, alloromantic, cisgender, heterosexual, and heteromantic, so they don't ever have to put thought into who they are. They're not unlabeled because they don't reject labels, they just don't have to have an identity journey because they're "normal."

Label collector and unlabeled solidarity forever. We're both breaking what is 'normal' for labels by having too many or too few for others. We don't have a conflict of interest, but we do have a common enemy (people who will expect everyone to choose one gender, one orientation, one amorous orientation, and few aspec terms.) You are incredibly valid for choosing to define yourself without regards to attraction, gender, or amory, and not slap a sticker on it, just as I am valid for putting so many stickers all you can see are the stickers. Nothing beneath. I think unlabeled people and their attitudes on identity are so cool. I think label cops suck.

[ID: tags reading "so true dear i love you. like it really just shows how the community cares more about hyperlabeling EVERY part of yourself that the one month thats dedicated to COMMUNITY PRIDE as in PRIDE FOR THE COMMUNITY. people started splitting it up so that they could care more about the labels. whatever idk if this makes sense. like. labels can be very helpful and nice (bisexuality my best friend) but maybe more of us need to take a step back and see the big picture" /end id]

YES EXACTLY i couldnt get my thoughts across more clearly earlier but a lot of it boils down to putting too much emphasis on labels and finding a label that perfectly suits you instead of like, feeling united as one community. which is where shit like thinking the rainbow flag is obsolete comes from.

remember when people would make calendars for pride month so each day was reserved for one specific sexuality or gender

[blackwoolncrown]

Real talk, hyperlabeling is really subjective and I’m not about to let anyone parrot the idea that hyper labeling = freedom because it can just as equally lead to mental binding and an artificial/external sense of identity.

The more names you give yourself, the more things you’re bound by. This becomes important when you’re giving yourself names based on things that don’t intrinsically exist.

hate2breakittoya's mhd tag is filled with 1290 (and counting) personal stories from lgbt people regarding IDing as ace or related labels because of internalized crap:(

I knew a bunch of LGBT people and allies hated MOGAI tumblr but I never really really knew how bad it was, I really saw it as more of a ‘ace discourse sucks’ and ‘stop forcing a sexual identity on minors’ and ‘stop hyperlabeling’ thing but this is like...I was actually really viscerally sad in my stomach last night reading the replies I got.I don’t ever follow anti- blogs for things I don’t like because that’s exposing myself to negativity and entrenching myself even more in a concept and creating an even bigger confirmation bias/tumblr bubble which is why I just..I guess I never knew. I never get too involved in MOGAI/anti-aceness, I just say what *I’m* thinking. I just hate ace discourse and I find so little of it actually logical and after thinking on it and interacting with it a while it doesn’t take long to see how this is actually really harmful.

It’s so fucked up because in a roundabout way a lot of ace-ness is inadvertently LGBT in the sense that a lot of ‘aces’ are actually just LGBT people dealing with this fucked up society, but like, it doesn’t work to ‘include’ that as an identity when it is, fundamentally presenting itself as something separate and inherently singular. I know this sounds crazy but people are going to have to realize that aceness is very often not like LGBT identities in that you are BORN gay, you’re BORN a lesbian, you’re BORN bi, you’re BORN trans or nb. And it may take you some time to learn that about yourself but it is natural and cannot be ‘reversed’ or cured.

Whereas, time and time again it’s looking like aceness is just a symptom of the psychological stress that repression, trauma, depression, sex anxiety, internalized homophobia and social or gender dysphoria cause in a person. Which brings me back to... it’s just not the same. It’s not an identity. It’s a side-effect. Because more than just LGBT-to-be people have it, people talk about being depressed and thinking ‘oh am I ace’ and then getting better and realizing ‘no, I just had no libido or desire for anything, including sex’. Like, there’s ...Idk I find this really sick and upsetting idk.I don’t know...this is more than a little heartbreaking. People deserve better than having this whole fucking identity shoved on them brainwash-like. I mean, that’s what was happening to them already!!!! fuck
