It’s a bit confusing for me because I’m nonbinary but I’m afab and demiqueerplatonically attracted to guys (I think…?). So kind of?

Oriented aroace is a term for aroaces who want to label a tertiary attraction as well. 

If you look it up, you'll run into anti-aspec bs about oriented vs angled aroace because the original creator of the term was biased against graya folk and didn't want them using oriented. Fortunately, most people I heard agreed that was bull and oriented was for all aspecs, but unfortunately the distinction has remained in resource pages.
