A '''microlabel''' or '''subcategory''' is an identity that falls under the umbrella of a larger identity and cannot stand on its own. For example, an [[apothisexual]] individual is someone who is [[asexual]] and [[sex-repulsed]]. If someone says they are apothisexual, it is also implied that they are asexual, because apothisexual is a modifier, making it a specific sub category of asexuality. Microlabels are most often used to describe more specific feelings, and to create a sense of community for individuals who also experience those feelings. A microlabel is designed to be like a stand to someones identity: it is needed, but it cannot stand on its own. |
