I was looking up the aro/ace flag, and there were different ones, like oriented and non-oriented. I was just wondering what it means to be an oriented aro/ace? I know the definition is probably different for everyone, but I'm still figuring my orientation out for myself, so it would be helpful to know a broad definition. If you don't know that's fine. Thanks :)
Non oriented is just AroAce. You’re aromantic + asexual.
Oriented AroAce is when you’re Aromantic + Asexual but you have another Orientation attached. Like myself, I am Bi AroAce. And it means you have no sexual or romantic attraction, but have another form that’s means a lot, like aesthetic or platonic.
Aligned (or is it slanted) AroAce is when you’re ArospecAcespec and have another identity, similar to oriented but it’s any Aspec. Such as Pan Lithromantic Greyromantic.
That’s the definitions for the terms coined, as well known, I’ve talked about it before and I think if you search the blog the original posts are somewhere here.
