Lifestyle Identity

An Identity lifestyle is similar to a gender or sexual identity, but for one's lifestyle. Is typically something the 'common' person doesn't engage in as a lifestyle and is not considered or accepted as a culture by the masses (this does NOT include harmful or illegal hobbies, interests, etc). It becomes an identity when you decide to embrace it as a part of who you are and how you live. It can be something you decide to be as (one or more of) your identity lifestyle(s), or something you feel you were called to/born for/etc. Examples of things that could/should be considered under the identity lifestyle umbrella can be: The furry community, Witchcraft/Wicca community, Kin community, Age regression community, and so forth.

Kelly: Hey Sam, I heard from your boyfriend that you came out with your lifestyle identity last week.

Sam: Yeah, recently I discovered that my lifestyle identity is Wicca.

Kelly: I'm happy for you! I discovered my lifestyle identity last year, I've never felt so in touch with myself.
