Inclipsesexual
[edit]Inclipsesexual is a microlabel describing a form of multisexual attraction. It refers to individuals who are attracted to people of all genders, with a subtle inclination toward their own gender. It is part of the bisexual spectrum and aims to express nuances not fully captured by existing terms such as bisexual, pansexual, or omnisexual.
Definition
[edit]An inclipsesexual person experiences romantic or sexual attraction toward people of all gender identities, while maintaining a slight yet consistent preference for individuals who share their own gender. This preference does not override attraction to others, but influences emotional or romantic patterns.
The term offers a more specific identity option for those who feel broader labels are too vague or gender‑neutral.
Etymology
[edit]The term combines:
- Latin inclino ("to lean, incline") and
- Latin ipse/ipsa ("self, one’s own").
This fusion conveys the meaning “inclined toward oneself,” reflecting a gentle personal lean toward own‑gender attraction amid inclusive orientation.
Flag
[edit]The Inclipsesexual pride flag adopts the horizontal tri‑stripe format of the Bisexual flag:
- Top stripe: plum violet (#934DAB) – represents attraction to all genders, signifying fluidity and inclusivity
- Middle stripe: white (#FFFFFF) – signifies neutrality and openness to all identities
- Bottom stripe: blue‑grey (#4C7C9D) – symbolizes introspection and a slight preference for own‑gender attraction
Each stripe visually represents a key aspect of the orientation.
Recognition
[edit]As of 2025, inclipsesexual is not formally recognized by major LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations or academic literature. It appears primarily in self‑identification contexts within online queer communities, particularly on platforms like Reddit[1] and Mastodon.[2] Like many microlabels, it serves to facilitate personal clarity rather than act as a standardized classification.
