This post is inspired by paradife-loft’s post. I’ve been trying to figure out how to say this for a long, long time, and it’s their post that finally gave me some context with which to put it into words.

I am a “straight” person.

I am a cis woman who is on the ace and aro spectrums and who is once in every other fucking blue moon sexually attracted to people who are men.

I am sorry.

I am sorry I am not “queer”.

I am sorry that, by virtue of being cis and that the gender of the TWO people I have ever been sexually attracted to, I am not “queer”.

I know how much straight privilege I have. I will acknowledge how much privilege I have until I am blue in the face.

I will acknowledge and apologize and apologize and apologize, and maybe if I do it enough times, maybe I’ll stop hating myself, maybe I’ll stop thinking about how much of a freak I am, maybe it won’t be so goddamn painful for me to even *think* of other people my age having sex because that’s something “normal” people do and are capable of doing and that I never fucking will.

How much do I have to apologize until this happens? How many times do I need to erase myself, make myself invisible, pretend that being ace and aro doesn’t count, doesn’t matter, doesn’t affect my life in any meaningful way, I’m practically straight anyway! Stop trying to pretend like you’re special, like you’re anything other than a straight girl, the fact that you’ve been questioning and agonizing over your sexuality since you were goddamn FOURTEEN YEARS OLD means nothing.

I am sorry. I am sorry I am too straight to deserve to call myself anything other than “straight.”

Can I stop hating myself now?
