yall see “love” and immediately go to “romantic love” if you translate “love is the whole point” to “romantic love is the whole point” you need to rethink everything because love is found in everything. in community, in friendships, in family, in food, in nature so actually love is the whole point and u can die mad about it. hope this helps <3

hey anon. what on earth are you talking about

Aplaroace lesbian culture is constantly getting asked How can you be a lesbian? How can you have a girlfriend? and not having an answer besides “idk either” because identity is complicated

Idk if it's just me but I hate when ppl in the aroace community are like "idk how allo people can do (insert thing many many aroace ppl can experence)" like... aroace experience of not having *any* sexual attraction is not univernal! many aroace people can experience attraction!!! it just makes me feel very very unwelcomed because I can indeed feel both and feel like I don't belong here. yakno?

shoutout to my autistic/mentally ill/people with trauma/etc who identify as aspec because of it, not in spite. we’re used as a talking point so much but never get any real recognition. reminder that you’re cool as hell and have a place in this community

[arofrog-moved]

hi hello can we please finally start applying attraction =/= action to aromantic people. i see a lot of stuff about how “ace people can still have sex and enjoy it” (which is true) but nothing that’s like, hey, aro people can do the same thing! i am 100% completely aromantic, but i still have a romantic partner. i enjoy dating the same way a sex positive ace person might enjoy sex, cause it’s just fun for me and that’s okay. it doesn’t make me a bad aro or mean i’m doing my partner a disservice by not being attracted to them

Lotussexual / Lotusromantic!

I wanted a asexual label that fit me so here is me coining that label!

Lotussexual: an asexual spectrum label where one still has desires, sexual fantasies, and/or sexual attraction due to their libido, hypersexuality, societal pressures, or something else entirely. But when attempting to have sexual intercourse, or sexual actions with someone in general, they do not feel attraction to them. They may feel like a 'doll' who cannot recuperate these feelings when having sex or receiving sexual things like touching.

This sexuality can be fluid or fluctuate depending on the person using this label. This label can also be described as being in between cupiosexual and orchidsexual. This label can be used with other aspec identities (Ex: Aceflux and Lotussexual)

Lotusromantic: an aromantic spectrum label where one still has desires, romantic fantasies, and/or romantic attraction due to ones romantic libido, being hyperromantic, societal pressures, or something else entirely. But when attempting to do romantic activities with someone in general, they do not feel attraction to them. They may feel like a 'doll' who cannot recuperate these feelings when on dates or receiving romantic actions like kissing or dates.

This romantic orientation can be fluid or fluctuate depending on the person using this label. This label can also be described as being in between cupioromantic and orchidromantic. This label can be used with other aspec identities (Ex: Aroflux and Lotusromantic.)

I cannot say this enough:

it isn’t creepy to experience sexual attraction but no romantic attraction

it isn’t leading someone on to be in a relationship with someone you don’t feel romantic attraction towards

there is nothing wrong with a healthy and consenting friends with benefits arrangement

fuck anyone who says otherwise

Introvert apl culture is meeting yet another person that wants to try and break you out of your supposed "bubble" and "help you make friends" and just groaning in frustration

.

[aroaceconfessions]

I feel really guilty sometimes, because I don't understand how being aplatonic would work, because I personally just value my friends a lot and don't understand why someone wouldn't want that, and then I realize that's the exact fucking same thing people say to ace people who don't want sex, and aro people who don't want romance, etc. And I just feel gross.

Which I guess that kind of explains it for myself anyways, even if I don't really get it? Like, I don't experience romance, but it's not like there's an empty void in myself where romance would be, there's just no romance,, part so to speak? I guess it would be the same for aplatonic people? I'm really sorry if this came out wrong I swear I'm not trying to be a jerk about anything.

Translunar: A trans person who has a feminine or woman related identity, is transitioning towards femininity or womanhood, etc., regardless of anything else about their identity. Can be shortened to translun.

-

Someone who might want to use this label includes...

Those whose womanhood or femininity is distinctly trans, but do not identify with being a trans woman or transfeminine.

Someone who is adfeminine and/or sensfeminine, and who feel that this identity is also trans.

People who do not want their AGAB assumed; only that they are trans, and aligned with femininity or womanhood in some way. This includes transfem and trans women who would rather not disclose being that identity for safety, comfort, or preference.

Identifying with your AGAB, while also feeling as though you're transitioning towards it or have an identity surrounding it in a trans way (such as experiencing a different kind of femininity or womanhood.)

Nonbinary, genderqueer, etc. women or feminine people who want a blanket term for their trans identity, or who feel as though they're transitioning to womanhood or femininity in their own way.

Those who are reclaiming their womanhood or femininity that was formerly upsetting or wrong for them, and thus feel as though they're transitioning to it or only just realizing their womanhood or feminine gender.

Someone who is simply trans and feminine and/or a woman, and likes the term translunar to describe that.

Plenty more I'm sure I'm forgetting.

The label comes from the astronomy term translunar, which describes a trajectory between the Earth and the Moon. This can just be a cool nod to astronomy, a tie to the moon, or it may be tied to how someone is transitioning from the "earth" to the "moon."

This is sort of my own take on a term like transfieldian. The masculine equivalent to this is called transtidal.
