Identity of the Day

Acemid

Type: Sexuality

Definition: Acemid is a label used by those who are Asexual, as well as being on the Aromantic spectrum. The identity was created to have an option aside from AroAce or AlloAce, for those who feel neither fit properly.

Flag(s):

This is the Acemid flag made by star-allos in November 2019. The flag is taken from the Aroace flag with the yellow stripes replaced with purple for Asexuality.

Aroaces do not speak for everyone in the Acommunity.

Aroaces are not the most marginalized group. Pushing this narrative of inclusion has reached the extent of erasure for more marginalized aspec identities.

Pushing this narrative of “lithromantic is included under aro” or “aro includes lithromantic” makes me feel like I’m not being heard as a lithro, who uses the lithro label + flag and doesn’t feel included. I feel like aroaces are trying to erase my identity and replace it with the aro label. “Aro awareness”-only doesn’t result in more awareness or visibility for my lithro label. Infact, “speaking over” lithros/arospecs/aspecs who don’t use the aro/aroace label, is a problem. It invalidates people and results in more exclusive awareness for the aro + aroace labels, and none for labels that desperately need awareness, like lithromantic, frayromantic, and fraysexual.

In today’s news: i have been declared Demi by a bottle cap.

As someone who considers themself somewhere around quoiro/nebula or Aego, i am ok with this.

Disclaimer: do not go around saying this to Ace/Aro ppl.

Amorous Aro

An aro-spec individual who desires some form of intimate, long term partnership(s) and/or considers themself to be Amorous in some way.

Amory here is defined as a relationship style that includes intimate, long-term partnerships, or an individual's definition of one. The opposite term is Nonamorous.

Made by combining this Amorous flag with the Aro flag.

Yo, is there a term under the aro umbrella for someone who only experiences romantic attraction until they acknowledge it fully and/or consider acting up on it? *Totally* asking for a friend/s

Hey! I'm doing some research to write a book and I'd like to talk to ace people (preferably romantic but if you're aro please let's talk, I could use the extra info), in my mind, one of the characters is asexual and I'd really like to represent the community right because, as bi, I know how awful it is to get misrepresented but having to accept it because bad representation is still representation.

So, if you're ace/aro/aroace and would like to talk about your experience inside and outside of the lgbtqia community please hit me up so I can get things right.

I'm using ace and aro as umbrella terms, because I also think I may be graysexual but since I don't know enough about what it really means, I could really use talking about it with someone who already knows how it goes.

Hope you have a lovely day 💕
