Does anyone else get the feeling of being 'not the right type of queer/not enough' when in LGBTQ+ spaces? It has certainly been bugging me for a while. Maybe it's due to lack of representation, people just being dismissive or maybe my own experiences with identity. I know the feeling is drivel but it looms over me, my mind wants to say "being aro is not lgbtq enough!" Interestingly, this feeling only applies to myself. It may be because I am aro-allo and attracted to the opposite gender of my agab, combined with a complicated relationship with my own gender. How about ya'll? I'm sure I can't be the only one feeling this way. Is there any way to combat this? It's a tiring thing to experience.
