Hello all! I was looking through my computer and found flags for a couple of terms I coined but never posted here! The exact etymologies and definitions have been lost, but I hope you enjoy them regardless!

Praetemeic - a label for when you simplify or hide one or more aspects of your identity for any reason, although this was coined with mogai in mind. One may use this as an umbrella term or specific label. Some circumstances that may cause someone to identify with this term include, but are not limited to:

Coming out as trans, but hiding your xenogender identity due to risk of exclusion

Having a very complicated sexuality, but using an umbrella term for the sake of convenience

Struggling with accepting your own identity due to internalized queerphobia

Dark Blue - Guilt, Shame

Navy Blue - Fear of Rejection

Additionally, I coined Praetemeicflux - a label for when your tendency to simplify or hide one or more aspects of your identity fluctuates. Some circumstances that may cause someone to identify with this term include, but are not limited to:

Discovering new labels, and experiencing an internal conflict as you try to unlearn internalized queerphobia with each moment of self-discovery

Using many labels and explaining all of them sometimes, but using a simple umbrella term other times
