ipseity (n.) - “personal identity, individuality, selfhood,” 1650s, from Latin ipse “self” + -ity “quality of being”

An ipseity (plural ipseities) is a label that encompasses 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. It’s entirely up to you, of course.

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.

Here are a few examples! You can find a full list of currently existing terms and flags on the official carrd.

Zooseity / Therioseity (Zooseic / Therioseic) An ipseity centered around animals: when your entire sense of self is interwoven with animality. May or may not imply nonhumanity.

Hyperseity / n-seity (Hyperseic / n-seic) An ipseity centered around higher dimensions. One may feel as though they belong in a higher dimension, that they originally came from a higher dimension, or that their sense of self is influenced by forces that reside in higher dimensions, among many other possibilities.

Puelluseity (Puelluseic) An ipseity centered around being a young boy: when your entire sense of self is interwoven with boyhood.

Feel free to request flags/terms or go ahead and make your own! There aren’t really any rules. :)
