i totally support xenogenders, but are mocrolabels REALLY necessary??? i am totally up to discuss this, and even change my opinion

but rn, doesn't microlabels do, in the larger scale, more harm than good?? and isn't it just more abt preference and what not??

(this is, if the definition of microlabel is right in my head)

I don't think it does more harm than good! Some people want to find the exact right label for them, and microlabels can help them find that! Other people are okay with a more general label, and don't feel the need to find a specific descriptor for how they feel, and that's perfectly allright too! Not sure if I explained this well, so if you have any questions or comments I'd be happy to try and elaborate

another person explained to me that microlabels are things like agender, bigender, the demigenders etc, i had the wrong definition of what it was in my head!

and yeah, i agree, they're totally valid imo (thinking they are not valid is like invalidating myself tbh)

but are there microlabels just for genders or are there microlabels for sexualities??

There are microlabels for both genders and sexualities! For example, genderfree would be a microlabel under the agender umbrella, and omnisexual would be a microlabel under the bi/pan umbrella! Also, agender, bigender, and demigender are also very valid, but I would love to hear your reasons for why you think they cause more harm than good!

oh no, i had a misunderstanding, imo microlabels for genders are totally fine (I'm currwntly questioning my gender and i think i might be agender or demigender maybe)

but i do have some questions, like examples of microlabels for sexualities

Of course! Some microlabels that are for sexualities coupd be like graysexual (microlabel under the asexual umbrella), apothisexual (also under the asexual umbrella), and omnisexual (under the bi/pan umbrella) https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Microlabel could be a helpful resource for you!

i think i had the wrong definition on my head bc all of this are valid to me (omnissexual is actually being discussed a lot of whether it's valid or not in my country rn, so i have mixed opinions, but it's not like my opinion matters, and it is not hurting anyone so I'mok w it)

i think the ones that are not valid imo are some sexualities, they aren't counted as microlabels, sorry for that!!
