Aroboy, Arogirl, and Aroenby!

Aroboy: A masculine aro-spec gender for those who feel as if their aromantic identity impacts their male identity or vice versa. Can also be called aroman or aromasc.

Arogirl: A feminine aro-spec gender for those who feel as if their aromantic identity impacts their female identity or vice versa. Can also be called arowoman or arofem(me).

Aroenby: A nonbinary aro-spec gender for those who feel as if their aromantic identity impacts their nonbinary identity or vice versa. Can also be called arononbinary.

These flags and labels are arospec exclusive. Please read my pinned DNI before interacting!

Is it just me or are mspec gays and lesbians always framed as “invaders of the gay/lesbian community” and never “invaders of the bi/pan community”? Why does this happen?

I've thought about this too and rlly it's the biphobia. This fear of "corruption" from mspec identities because we date and have sex in a manner that could be considered "straight." (Which is a Whole Other Topic and also doesn't necessarily describe all mspec identities but I digress). Multisexuality is seen as corruption of the Pureness of monosexuality, particularly when dealing with radfeminism and a hatred of men, but also exists in gay male spaces especially paired with transphobia and exclusionism towards trans men and mascs.

That being said I have seen some exclusionist bisexuals who say these labels are themselves biphobic but it's a far, far less common thing.

[a-romantic--aromantic]

Lovesick:

A punk term coined in relation to aro to describe both an affinity and rejection for “love” and its associated concepts ; love, romanticism, or otherwise assumed “romantic” actions or feelings, pushed past it’s limit, often to to the point of repulsion or it feeling sickening ; traditional lovesickness experienced in an unconventional or transversive way [Term was made with romance repulsed romo aros and aros who got torn between loveless and arolovic in mind, but it isn’t exclusive to aros. Lovesick is a punk term and may apply to anyone, the definition is descriptive for the people already using it. If you feel it applies you can use it.]

-Lexic flag

[plaidos]

the thing is about trans women is that even in ostensibly “pro trans women” spaces, it is socially unacceptable to be attracted to trans women. like for example, on this website, if cis women talk about how they like trans women with stubble, or broad shoulders, or deep voices, or even just that they like girls with dicks, they are treated like chasers. and like, no, actually, a chaser means somebody who specifically objectifies trans women in a degrading way and refuses to integrate their trans girlfriends into their lives like introduce her to their parents etc. and just uses her as a sexual object. you can’t just moralise being physically attracted to trans women as wrong and objectifying and fetishistic. we are attractive, we are sexy; why are you so afraid of people expressing that?

[plaidos]

and the thing is, if you think open and enthusiastic attraction to trans women is fetishistic then it’s actually you who is objectifying us by seeing attraction to us as a kink.

[aurpiment]

#that's kind of the issue with trying to talk about raw sexual attraction in online queer spaces #normal horny behavior gets pathologized as fetishization and objectification #now obviously you need be respectful in how you express sexual feelings. but having sexual feelings isn't fucking pathological (via fluorescentbrains)

Stop shitting on multigender mens manhood Stop fucking say we arent real men or men-men or whatever bullshit to downplay our manhood Im just as much a man as any other man who isnt multigender

To Aro Boys

to asexual aro boys: society says that you have to want sex and romance, but it’s okay if that’s not something that you’re into. you don’t have to give in to pressure. you deserve to be comfortable with who you are. you aren’t missing out.

to gray-aro boys: your identity is real. if you find that your labels help you define yourself and your attraction, use them. you’re not hurting anyone, and you are welcome in the aro community.

to gay aro boys: you are not contributing to the sexualisation of gay relationships. you are not to blame for harmful stereotypes. your love is wonderful just the way it is. 

to bi/pan/polysexual aro boys: likewise, you are not responsible for stereotypes that say bi/pan/polysexual people are promiscuous. it’s okay if you just want casual sex, and it’s okay if you want intimate, non-romantic relationships (or if you don’t). they matter, just like you.

to heterosexual aro boys: your identity does not make you a raging misogynist who just uses women for sex. you are a person with thoughts and feelings just like everybody else, and others are wrong for making assumptions. your identity is important, even if others try to convince you otherwise.

to trans and nonbinary aro boys: you are not any less of a boy for being aro. you know yourself better than anyone else, and no aspect of your identity invalidates another. 

to neurodivergent aro boys: it’s okay if your aro identity is influenced by your neurodivergence. it’s also okay if it’s not. it deserves recognition either way.

to aro boys: your identity is beautiful and valid. you don’t need to change for anybody.

I got SHAMED (gently) into making robotkin-themed merch after complaining that there wasn't much around that I liked the look of.

So if you like any of these designs I've stuck them on Redbubble.

Have a gander! Or don't, you're a free robot.

querkmachine is an independent artist creating amazing designs for great products such as t-shirts, stickers, posters, and phone cases.

u can just wake up & be transsexual. BTW

[sweatermuppet]

this is abt how transgenderism exists without diagnosis but also abt how transgenderism can be about continuing & continuing (sometimes an endurance, sometimes as a blessing)

[sweatermuppet]

wishing all the transsexuals of the world achieve both bravery & time to rest

y’all will be like “fuck terfs but also lesbians can’t be bi, trans men are just trying to escape misogyny so they’re traitors, men are inherently evil, there should be no a in LGBT, men can’t be butch or femme, trans women are women though <3” and not see how utterly fucking stupid you sound
