being not straight: NOT being heteromantic and/or heterosexual
being aspec: NOT being heteromantic and/or heterosexual
HUH GEE WIZ SCOOBY-DO, THE MYSTERY IS FUCKIN SOLVED
Hi, I’m really sorry but terms are confusing for me. Could someone tell me what an Aspec is?
that’s perfectly ok to ask- being aspec is being a form of aromantic or asexual- there’s are a wide spectrum as to the specifics for everyone’s experience of course
being aromantic is not experiencing romantic attraction, and being asexual is not experiencing sexual attraction
being aspec is basically just an umbrella term for aro and ace people :))
aspecs are valid and lgbtq and everyone should respect them
ok listen up people tryin to start some ace discourse in the comments—
first of all, we are lgbtq+, because the ‘a’ in lgbtqia is for us, the aspecs
also, we are not heteromantic and/or heterosexual, we are not cis, that means us aspecs are inherently lgbtq. you cannot say we are hetero if we don’t experience romantic and/or sexual attraction to the opposite gender !!! (or anyone)
also,,, we are oppressed- sure, maybe not as much as some identities i won’t deny it- but there are still many aphobic comments and hate that we all face, particularly from exclusionists and people who don’t understand our identities, so they decide to hate on it !!
so aspecs are lgbtq+, we are a part of the community, and no matter how much hate we get for our identies, that doesn’t change shit.
disclaimer: if you are aspec and don’t identify as part of the community because of some of the hate we receive or other reasons, that’s ok, it’s your choice- not someone else’s
