    The unlabeled flag.

    Unlabeled or No Label is the umbrella term for those who do not want to identify under specific label(s) for their identity or sexuality. The label was made to be able to be used by anyone who feels like they should. By definition it is similar to the Queer identity, but more suited for those who may not be as happy trying to specify their identity under a movement. People can say that their unlabeled in terms of their attraction, gender, identity, a mixture of those, or all.

    Youtuber Jasxcii described it as "...You dress how you want, you like what you like, and you do what you do, and that's just you."[1]

    As an identity on its own it is often found useful by, but is not exclusive to:

    • People who don't feel comfortable identifying as lesser known sexualities/genders.
    • People who are transitioning that may not fully see themselves as their chosen gender.
    • Peoples who's attractions are changing through gender transition.
    • Non-Binary people who feel as if their attraction is too complicated to classify through existing labels.
    • People who are unsure of their identity, but are fairly sure they aren't Straight and/or Cisgender.
