I'm agender and aro. My gender hasn't affected my romantic or sexual orientation so much as it affected what I call it. I'm attracted to women but "lesbian" doesn't feel right because I don't identify as a woman, so I used to say "gay" but people would question it because I, again, don't identify as a woman. So I settled on nblw, less people know about it but it sums me up. As for my aromanticism, not at all. Label doesn't change and feelings don't change.
NB Aros?
