This is a contribution to January 2020 Carnival of Aces “Conscious and Unconscious Difference.” Here I compare my difference in unconscious gender identity with what had happened before…

This is my contribution for the January 2020 edition of the Carnival of Aros. When I discovered aromanticism, it was new for me to learn that sexual and romantic orientations could be separate, and…

Esto afirma, citando a Bogaert, un reportaje reciente. En este post analizo cómo Bogaert no encuentra eso ni nada parecido.

I wrote a short piece about the difference between being disproved and being unproved. It is also available in Spanish.

A pesar de no haber dos asexuales iguales, incluso dentro de cada subcategoría, todavía percibo una gran división entre románticos y arrománticos. [...] No debemos reemplazar un estereotipo homogéneo de la asexualidad por un conjunto discreto de ellos, pues incurriríamos en el mismo error a otro nivel...

Ésta es una trducción de la anterior entrada, por sugerencia de la anfitriona de este mes del Carnival of Aces, @aceadvice.

Despite not being two similar asexuals, even within subcategories, I still notice a great divide between romantics and aromantics. [...] Despite, their usefulness at introductions, the aforesaid categories are not clear cut, [...]. We should not replace a homogeneous stereotype of asexuality with a discrete set of them, since it would be the same mistake at another level.

¿Sabes la palabra entonces puedo decir "aromantic" en español? Muchas gracias y me disculpo para algos errores, yo estoy una estudiante de español. :)

Hola, sí claro, en español sería aromántico o simplemente aro, cualquier persona española dentro de la comunidad te entenderá :)

[isaac-asexy]

Yo siempre he dicho y leído “arromántico” y “arro”.

Asocial: the final frontier?

In the short history of asexuality we have witnessed twice a reaction against which we should be cautious in order to avoid committing it a third time. I mean the denial of asexuality by the (allo)sexuals who, unable to conceive that someone may lack what they feel, deny that asexuality might exist arguing that sexual attraction is universal and lacking it would result in inhuman beings incapable of loving...

We have witnessed a cycle of discrimination twice in the short history of asexuality: the (allo)sexuals against the asexuals and the romantic asexuals against the aromantics. What happens with the platonic aromantics, will they discriminate against the aplatonics? Digging the attractions we find the following kinds: sexual, romantic, platonic and social. Is asocial the final frontier of human attraction? Does the classic notion of asocial agree with “lacking social attraction”? Will the cycle of discrimination repeat? I would like to get comments about the hypotheses discussed in this post, especially from aplatonics and from asocials.

Diversity: Pride in science

[isaac-asexy]

The sciences can be a sanctuary for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals, but biases may still discourage many from coming out.

It seems that Spain is one of the most LGBT-friendly countries according to the graphs shown in the article.

I’m not sure if I can see it catching on, but it is one possible way to refer to people who are attracted to multiple genders (bisexual, pansexual, etc.) without using negative definitions (non-x) and excluding non-monosexual but non-plurisexual people (like asexuals - we’re not [sexually] attracted to one, or many, we’re attracted to none, and it avoids being confiused with polyamory (which was the problem with polysexual).

It’s also convenient to [possibly] distinguish between “people not monosexual” (which includes both asexuals and pan/bi/etc. folks) and “people with multiple gender sexual attractions” (which is just pan/bi folks and not aces), since the two sets are a bit different.

It’s still a little hard to say, and pretty uncommon, so I don’t know if I’ll be using it much,  but it is something I hadn’t encountered til today and I think it was a cool thing to know.

[isaac-asexy]

I agree with these considerations, since "non-monosexual" technically includes asexuals.

The Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) is performing a large-scale survey.

We are looking for any respondents who are part of the asexual spectrum, as well as people who are not part of the asexual spectrum. This survey includes some sensitive questions about sexual topics. Please share this survey so we can get a larger sample and therefore a more accurate result.

The survey is open for some time. Later, statistical results will be published, providing crucial information about the demographics and needs of asexual-spectrum people.

The survey can be accessed here.

For any inquiries, please see our FAQ, or e-mail [email protected]

Please share widely!

“El juego da las primeras pistas del sexo que sienten”

Lo que tienen que hacer los padres cuando son pequeños es relajarse. Si no, van a sufrir ellos y hacerlo sus hijos , dice el experto.

“Landa no cree que haya una edad en la que el niño sepa por primera vez que es transexual. “Lo que nota es que no está a gusto, que quiere ser otra cosa.”“
