  1. Oh, this is a topic near and dear to me! I spent a long time in the aroace community, in my teen years, because I genuinely didn't feel sexual attraction (which was possibly influenced by my gender dysphoria!) - and then, around the time I started questioning my gender as something not-feminine, I started feeling sexually attracted to people. But I didn't feel romantic attraction, and because of that, I felt like my attraction was the "wrong" sort of attraction, like I was objectifying others by thinking they were hot. Which I realize now is kinda nonsensical, but it did make me really scared of my own sexuality for a while - especially coming out after saying I was ace, and that I didn't like sex, and then realizing that I thought people were hot and wanted to do things with them? It scared me a lot. And the way sex was treated in the ace community as a taboo topic didn't help me feel more comfortable - the community that had once been a place of safety for me felt stifling and anxiety-provoking. I don't blame the ace community for my internalized sex negativity and bi antagonism, really, but it's not a space I feel comfortable in anymore.
  2. Hey, I'm Max! I'm a 20smth trans guy (he/they/it) and aromantic bisexual! Apparently I was on this forum a long time ago, like several years, and by now I've completely forgotten what's happened then, so this is a whole new intro! I was given the link by someone in my local aspec club's discord, because I had been venting about so-called aspec spaces being extremely biased towards the comfort of sex-repulsed asexuals, to the point where I felt very uncomfortable and alienated as an aro bi who's very much a sexual person and wants to express how that intersects with my aromanticism without hurting and being hurt by other people - Arocalypse was recced because y'all have a pretty good number of aroallos talking about their experiences, which sounds like a place I need in my life!
  3. I thought I was straight. I didn't really like girls (probably because I was projecting my dysphoria all over them) so I thought "huh, guess I have to be straight!" (And this was also back when I thought I was a girl because "huh, I don't feel like a guy, must be a girl!") I really like the looks of gender-neutral-presenting people, so I just figured I just had a thing for pretty boys.
  4. "You're just being another stupid attention-whore speshul snowflak!! You are horrible!" Sure this may just be on the internet but it always infuriates me. (Honestly Tumblr is one of the few places where I can find people who actually believe aros exist and it's really sad...)
  5. Yippee kai-yay. ...I am so sorry, I HAD to do it!!
  6. Pottermore placed me in Hufflepuff and, on a second shot different account, I got Ravenclaw because I toned down my niceness and went for my intellect. Both are cool, Hufflepuffs are kind and accepting of all (YES), Raven is intellectual (yes)! The aptitude test for factions placed me in Amity first and Abnegation second, very correct, but I'm also lowest at Erudite. Hey, I can be damned smart while being a decent human being, thank you! My lowest score this school year was 84% in Foreign Languages! As for the camp quiz... Hermes? Come on, that quiz had really weird questions! Well, Hermes seemed to care a lot about his kids in the books, that's nice. EDIT: Did the Buzzfeed Combo house quiz and got Huffleclaw, yes this fits me to a tee.
