#intrusisexual

What is the flag in your banner :0

Oh it’s the intrusexual flag! It’s for aces with intrusive thoughts (and more specifically ones that bounce off their asexuality)

For example I use it because I am ace and often deal with rumination and intrusive thoughts over my identity, and my identity as an ace bounces off my already preexisting sexual intrusive thoughts (ie “if you’re asexual how would you know your not attracted to your family members” and “if you have constant sexual obsession and intrusive thoughts can you call yourself asexual” are both ideas that can loop in my head.)

There’s also a intruromantic and intruaroace flags on the person I cited’s profile on Pinterest! So give em love!

intrusisexual | intrusiromantic

intrusisexual: being unable to tell if one is ace(spec) or not due to heavy and constant intrusive thoughts

intrusiromantic: being unable to tell if one is aro(spec) or not due to heavy and constant intrusive thoughts

for anon! these can also be called ‘intrusiace’ and ‘intrusiaro’ if one prefers. the outer two stripes represent intrusive thoughts and are inspired by the genderintrusive flag, the second and fifth stripes are grey to represent confusion and the way one’s intrusive thoughts interfere with their perception/understanding/etc. of their orientation, the third stripes represent allosexuality and alloromanticism respectively, and the fourth represent asexuality and aromanticism respectively.

i figure it goes without saying, but these terms are only for those who experience intrusive thoughts.
