Why does everyone always have an opinion on everything in here? Can we just agree as a community to stop debating OTHER people’s identities and try listening to actual people you’re talking about 🫠

for those wondering, “varioriented” is the group under which all non-aroace aspec people fall, along with others who experience varying alignment of sexual/romantic orientation… I know plenty of aspecs irl, perhaps since I know people outside of discord…

#2 commented here then reposted claiming this is “discourse” as if they aren’t the one arguing about the existence of an actual identity 💀 surprise surprise, they were #3 on that post. resorting to insults because there’s no logic behind their “opinion” lmao

it’s just someone who’s sexual attraction doesn’t align with their romantic attraction. like an asexual lesbian

if you want to look more into it, it’s pretty cool to see our diversity of queer experience; the LGBTQIA+ Wiki site has concise explanations on variosexuality & the Split Attraction Model it’s based on

ultimately tho, it’s just someone experiencing sexual attraction to (n)one group & romantic to none/another. if you don’t know the Split Attraction Model, it can be a bit confusing tho. a lot of people use that model, so I recc looking into it to understand other’s experiences (especially those of aspecs)

I understand it for aromantic and asexual people but I don’t understand it for ppl who aren’t on the asexual spectrum. Like I just don’t understand how if you are for example a pansexual heteroromantic (last person I met who used SAM irl identifies this way) is that not just someone who is sexually attracted to everyone but only wants to date the opposite sex. Like should that person wonder if it is internalized homophobia that keeps them heteroromantic

if i were to go back to the SAM id probably be homosexual and like biromantic or something? i am fully asexual towards women and for years didnt realize i liked men bc my attraction to women couldn't reach men. i'm sure there are people that are just uncomfortable with being gay, but im honestly the other way and j think that does serve as evidence that it isnt just internalized homophobia
