Aspecs With Complex Orientations/Identities
“Are you really gay? I’ve never actually seen you date someone before.” “For the simplicity of this conversation: yes, I am.”
“Yes, I’m aromantic. Yes, I want to be in a romantic relationship. What about it?”
“Sex is gross.” “Don’t you write and read erotica?” “That doesn’t make it any less gross.”
“Wait so how are you straight? Didn’t you say you’re attracted to yourself?” “Yeah but my sensual attraction to women is more important than my aesthetic to myself. Plus, you can be anything when you have no gender.”
Making an entire presentation with animations and all to explain it to that one person who will genuinely listen
Being uniattractional in all attraction types that they experience and looking for a partner for each one
Meeting someone cool and really wanting to tell them about their orientation so they don’t get the wrong idea but also being afraid of being mocked for it. Turns out this new person also has a similar orientation
“We’re gonna handle this like men.” “Speak for yourself, this ain’t really a man day for me. I’m feeling more genderless today.”
