Polyamorous relationships are not for everyone. Monogamous relationships are not for everyone. Romantic relationships are not for everyone!!! We are all different people with different needs, maybe just stop trying to condense the human experience into a homogenous gray monolith!!! aaaaaaaa

The AUREA team is excited to announce that the 2023 Aro Census is open!

The Aro Census is a community run survey that helps collect data on the demographics, identities, and experiences of the aromantic community. Participation is encouraged for people identifying on/with the aromantic spectrum and those who are questioning whether they are on the aromantic spectrum.

If you would like to participate in the Aro Census you can find links to different language versions below. There are instructions on how to complete the survey in each form. Please complete only one form in one language.

We will be accepting responses from September 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

Reblogs appreciated! If you have a unique experience with this subject, feel free to tell me about it in the tags if you're comfortable. Also, feel free to let me know if you are arospec and/or acespec, and whether or not you knew when you were in school, or if you found out because of school 💚💜

romancerepulsed

i keep seeing misinformation about this, so: queerplatonic relationships do not have a set definition. the name comes from the idea that it's "queering" the platonic relationship, tailoring it to the individual relationships' own desires. it isn't necessarily romance lite, but it also isn't necessarily whatever definition you want to impose on it. the point of queering the platonic relationship is to break away from strict allonormative views on friendship, romance, and sex, not to make a new categorical box to fit in.

the answer to "what is a qpr?" is "whatever you want it to be." sometimes that is romance lite. sometimes it's a deeply committed friendship. sometimes it's friends who have a sexual relationship. sometimes it's based on an entirely different mode of attraction. sometimes it's fluid and impossible to put into words. it's whatever you want it to be. it's queer.

angleofmusings

this might be controversial but i think it needs acknowledging.

on balance, i feel far more comfortable talking openly about aromanticism (and being aroallo) with cis guys than cis girls. both from a “what conversation topics are most frequent” perspective and a “how quickly/easily aro experiences are understood when brought up” perspective, it takes far less energy to exist as an aromantic person in predominantly masculine groups

poll: does this align with your experiences? (elaborate in tags)

i’m aroallo, and yes

aroallo; it’s the opposite

aroace; yes

aroace; opposite

alloace; yes

alloace; opposite

i’m aspec but don’t identify strongly with any of those categories; yes

aspec; opposite

i’m aroallo, and it’s complicated (tags!)

i’m aroace; it’s complicated (tags!)

i’m alloace; it’s complicated (tags!)

i’m aspec but not any of those specific categories; it’s complicated (tags!)

please pick the answer that feels most accurate, even if it isn’t 100% aligned with your experiences!

non-aspecs please feel free to share your experiences, but if you can wait a week to see the results, i encourage you not to vote.

if you’d like to be tagged when the poll ends, let me know in the notes

hungry-skeleton

Genuinely so mad that cuddling is seen as a strictly romantic thing that's so stupid cuddling is awesome and two consenting platonic pals should be allowed to cuddle as much as they want

autistic-yuri

We, as a society, need more aro 4 aro in our lives.

thelightfluxtastic

To all the people whose gender changes:

If you’re genderflux, genderfluid, or any other identity (or no label at all)- if you’re gender feelings/identity change over time, this is for you.

The sun rises and falls.

The moon has phases.

The tide comes and goes.

Seasons turn.

The only thing that does not change is change itself.

Do not let anyone convince you that you are unnatural.

You are as the universe is.
