EXACTLY. like i don’t feel like i fit in with lgbtqa+ and i don’t feel like i fit in with straight people either, let alone where i fit in within the ace spectrum to begin with, and it’s rough
i’m sorry i didn’t answer this last night, i went to bed haha
but yeah I mean, I’ve never felt like i was apart of the lgbtqa+ community because I’m not “gay enough”. which is stupid because by being graysexual I should be a part of the community, but because the few instances where i’ve experienced sexual attraction have only been towards men, I feel like it’s easier to fit into the straight community than the other. But at the same time, I’m technically not straight because of how rare it is that I feel sexual attraction, so it’s like I don’t 100% fit in there either.
And to be quite honest, the majority of the time if someone asks about my sexuality, I just say I’m straight because unless you’re on tumblr, chances are you’ve never heard of the term graysexual (let alone asexual). even if i try to explain it some people still might not understand it because there are a lot of misconceptions that surround the ace community (like a lot of people think that if you’re asexual you can’t be sexually aroused/like sex which isn’t true. it’s literally only about whether or not you feel sexual attraction).
idk man. it’s tough, but this is who we are. it is at least nice to know that there’s a reason why i’m like this because when i was going through high school i honestly thought something was wrong with me. knowing more about sexuality gives you some comfort at least.
