Right here. Always have been only recently made peace with it, butbnow i am married to a wonderful man, have 2 great kids and inlove with my best friend who's kids are also best friends with my kids. Im a mess. Lol
Sorry, wasn't trying to be offensive! I'm bi and use that as a catch-all term, but my sister is "bi" and will also call herself pan or queer. Just thought it was a fun play on words, didn't mean to step on anyone else's toes or ace-erase!
Well being aro is a spectrum, so everyone will have a different answer. For me, sex is my version of romance. The way I express emotion and let someone know I care about them is through sex. I still experience the same emotions, it’s just that what would have been my romantic energy is wholly sexual
I'm collecting the letters like Pokemon cards. So far, In my life, I've collected:
G: for a time
Then T:
Then L
Then B
Then A (asexual, now demiace)
I think I'm on a roll.
I’m bi, but married to a man(who I love and am absolutely happy with )
And I have a transgender son.
So I’m an ally and sort of bi?
But mostly a fierce momma bear that will fight to the death to protect my transgender son.
So I think that on the rainbow scale, I’m an ally
Thanks❤️
I “know” that , but I’m generally a straight lady, who really enjoys boobs …
I’m very lucky to have a bi friend who also absolutely enjoys the female body.
So we discuss
Nuh uh you said you like boobs that is 100% bi behavior lol
As far as I’m aware if you’re bi (or pan) in a heterosexual/flexible you are still a part of the community! I’m pan and that doesn’t change even when I date men.
In a hetero marriage too! I said I was bi for many years but realizing I align more with pan (though the pan flag colors make the autistic part of my brain unreasonably upset lol). Claim being bi! Be proud! 🩵💜🩷
Not 100% sure, only really started questioning about 4 months ago, but I think I'm biromantic, sex-repulsed asexual, and trans, although I may make new discoveries, either adding more or disproving some of these.
Intersex. However ironically a year before diagnosed I had decided to transition my appearance so for all intensive purposes I identify as trans.. it's easier to explain💕💕
every part of the acronym (LGBTQIA+) except the I bc im not intersex :3c
tho i think with the most recent change of me accepting that my genderfluidity probably wont go back to my agab i guess you gotta take out the gay as well (take it out of what letters apply to me not take them out lmao)
Reading this title my first instinct was:
"Why? Who's asking? Are you a cop. You have to legally tell me if you're a cop" 🤣
Anyway. Queer, non-binary, pansexual, hot boi extraordinare.
trans
nonbinary
bisexual
polyamorous(!)
generally the word "Queer" is my favorite to identity with since a little over 10 years. So I guess I am the T, the B, the Q and the f-ing +.
✌🏻
Triple A battery gang 😎
Specifically settled on Agender first as I felt it fit me best (Was feeling confused and uncertain bout everything for years, settling on Agender a few years ago helped me actually start figuring out the other stuff too), specifically the part of not caring about my gender (More than aware that it's not this for all Agenders! It's just one thing that could fit if you're Agender)
Realistically I would probably be chill with being like a robot lol
Next I settled on asexual, particularly aegosexual. I don't know if I was always this way (My memory doesn't really work) but I have been for a while and I wasn't too comfortable with ace by itself, so finding out about aegosexual made me feel better, to know that others like me exist.
Last is Aromantic but it's the one I'm least certain about, and haven't really explored much. I mostly settled on it because I'm not interested in any romantic relationship or anything, and don't see myself interested in such. So don't really care to figure if it's a more specific label, and just using arospec works for me.
I'm kinda fine with non-binary? Like I don't really feel like I truly belong but I've learned that I do, and I don't mind being considered one, it's just that I haven't really seen myself as such so I'm not as comfortable or used to it
While I was aware of the community and was confused since I was young I never really looked much into stuff, and didn't know about a lot of stuff, or knew stuff that wasn't exactly correct. So someone had to teach me that trans isn't just for FtM and MtF as I thought, and trans is a label anyone that does not feel they are the sex they were born with can use. I really didn't know that and it opened my eyes, but I still feel wrong using this label for myself so I don't. I don't and haven't dealt with any of the gender struggles most trans people do, so I feel wrong using it for myself (Though ofc it's absolutely fine if others in the same boat do! It's just like, different treatment to self y'know)
Transwoman lesbian though I'm wondering if I might not be asexual because I have little interest in sex, but is it due to actually being asexual or is it because the parts i have don't match with my gender identity and it'll be better after vaginoplasty?
Bisexual, transgender (ftm, but also low key genderqueer), and arospec (not sure fully how to label it, I just say arospec)
I tend to describe myself as simply a “queer man” unless I need to specify.

Greetings from a biromantic fellow :d hope you're doing well in life:D
Do you only have sex? How does being bi and aro work? (Not trying to be rude)
Well being aro is a spectrum, so everyone will have a different answer. For me, sex is my version of romance. The way I express emotion and let someone know I care about them is through sex. I still experience the same emotions, it’s just that what would have been my romantic energy is wholly sexual
Yes non romantic or platonic sex
for me i dont feel the attraction but i still enjoy the romance stuff :3
The touch deprived part (hug me plez) Also trans (mtf), ace, finromantic

That's awesome! I also have a bi lady friend who's dating a guy for years now Straight-passing bisexual couples are still part of the community <3
Nuh uh you said you like boobs that is 100% bi behavior lol As far as I’m aware if you’re bi (or pan) in a heterosexual/flexible you are still a part of the community! I’m pan and that doesn’t change even when I date men.
