#angled aroace

[lesbianpolls]

feel free to ignore this ask if its too off topic, this just seemed like a well informed blog and followers on my specific question:

how is someone aro and ace able to also be a lesbian? if they dont want to date or sleep with women, why label herself a lesbian instead of just ace?

sorry if the phrasing is weird i dont know how to ask another way!!! this is a genuine question

A few different ways:

aro and ace, while specific terms, are also umbrella labels. so one may still experience romantic or sexual attraction but use aro and ace as umbrella terms, so they label what the sexual and romantic attraction they do have while also still labeling as aro and ace

for those that don't experience romantic or sexual attraction, they may label themselves based on the attractions they do experience. there are attractions other than romantic or sexual, like platonic, familial, aesthetic, sensual, alterous, queerplatonic, and more.

for some, they may not experience attraction but are open to romantic or sexual relationships and label their attraction based on the genders they would be open to entering a relationship with

These are just a few examples, but I hope it answered your question!

hey. do whatever you want btw. it’s your identity. kiss people for fun. enjoy sex. nobody’s stopping you. being aro and/or ace doesn’t mean you have to be repulsed by romantic or sexual activities if you don’t want to.

and also! things only mean what you meant them to mean. you can have platonic sex and platonically make out with your friends. it’s true. just be sure to communicate so that everyone involved understands and you’re good.

If you're alloromantic and have ever said anything along the lines of "QPRs are literally just friendships, you guys are just friends stop trying to be special lol" then I am legally allowed to hunt you for sport

the progressive leaving people's body when they hear about mspec gays, he/him lesbians, she/her gays, multigender people, oriented aroaces, xenogenders or any other "weird" queer label:

y'all care so much about queer people until we aren't queer in a way that aligns with your binary world view

yknow. i’m actually not romance repulsed. i just think i was so uncomfortable with the idea of someone wanting something i can’t give. i want to love someone forever with undying devotion and engrave their likeness into marble. and i will. have. often. is it romantic? probably not. not based on what i’ve heard about what it’s supposed to feel like, physically and emotionally.

i think as long as whoever was into me in that way knew that my feelings were adjacent but not exactly matching, and they were cool with that, that i would be alright with being romantically or sexually desired.

i still have complicated feelings about sex, but that’s less about identity. i do think i’m not sex repulsed, either. it’s weird realizing these things, using other aroace experiences to try to understand my own and understanding that my story of self understanding is my own.

WHAT apparently the aro/ace tags are trending due to exclusionist bs!? I am seeing things like "hetero-aces/aros don't belong in our community" or "cishet ace/aro men dont belong"--

Look. It does not matter if you are heteroromantic or heterosexual, if you are a man, a woman, anything in-between, both, anything outside entirely, if you identify only with being ace while being heteroromantic, or only aro but heterosexual, or both or oriented or angled, you are ACE, you are ARO, you are valid and you have a place in the community as any body else. We are connected by our experiences regardless of origin and don't let anybody tell you you don't deserve to feel comfortable or be in this community just because you don't fit some worthless critera. Straight As are still As.

There is a reason we call it a spectrum, because it is diverse and there is nothing else quite like being this. It is unfathomable that this was ever a question.

#i cant believe it though what did aro/ace men ever do!? they are actually people who need a lot of support #because for some people it's unbelievable that they even exist #aromantic #asexual #aroace #aro #ace #angled aroace #oriented aroace #rant #straight As are real #and they are As #late to the party ig #but i am not happy as an oriented aroace #nomi writes
