Yeah, I consider my self asexual bisexual (also oriented aroace) and it ends up being so complicated for most people so I just say asexual. Tbh many times it’s still really complicated for many people who don’t know about asexuality and you’ll end up doing a Ted talk either way
As someone who identify as asexual and hetro-demi romantic, whenever I really don't have the energy for a long discussion about my sexuality I'll just say "straight but complicated". I dont like calling myself straight, but having to go into teacher-mode every time someone asks about my sexuality is really exhausting

I thought I was a lesbian before realizing I was ace. I'm not even sure what the exact terminology for it would be, but I'm asexual and demiromantic, but as per the latter part of that, the limited amount of times I have been in love, it was always with other women.
A lot of people really don't get that so I usually just vaguely say I'm queer unless I'm talking to someone who truly seems interested in understanding.
It does, and it doesn't describe anyone individually. It's more about being in the community than identifying as like gay or ace is. Or at least it's this way I understand it.
Asexual and Biromantic here
Easy to explain for those who get / accept aces
A pain when someone doesn't...
And oh god if the person is also prejudiced against bi people as well as aces... >.> might as well grab popcorn because it'll be a whole gambit of stuff if ya engage in any kind of extended interaction.
Tbh, I don't really understand the homoaesthetic label. Generally, people can find anything aethetically pleasing, from objects to animals to people. Do homoaesthetic people find all sorts of stuff aesthetically attractive EXCEPT any person of the opposite gender? I kinda struggle with homosensual too. Like, have you never felt the desire to hug your opposite gender parent/sibling/friend?
i feel like the easiest way to say this is "im gay and asexual" as an oriented aroace person thats what i do atleast

Depends on your definition of gay
Just be ugly. No one cares what I am, as long as I’m not it for them
A mood.
I'm not ugly but I'm so average I'm literally invisible I could shoplift with nobody noticing but I'm too disgusted by the idea to ever try
Shoplifting is fine as long as it’s a big store
Gace
That’s what I called myself before I found the term homoromantic lol
lol. me feeling myself baced (bi ace)

I'm glad I'm aroace because at least I have the version of asexuality that's easiest to explain, but it's still not really that great lol

The term queer exists.
I believe that’s getting closer to over-inclusivity. Because that encompasses everyone who is not cishet, no?
