medium.com So, you found out you’re agender because you don’t understand trans people
Trans people can be confusing. Voice training for years? Hormone pills every day? Invasive surgeries? And for what, a different gender…

AroAceAgender (AAA) @lemmy.blahaj.zone Of the Air (cele/celes) @lemmy.blahaj.zone Fandom Can't Handle Asexuality by Misty Sparkles

A great video about how fandom really doesn't know how to handle asexual characters in media and likes to sexualise them regardless. There is nothing wrong with this in the sense of exploring identity etc in fan fiction inherently as long as they don't pretend that it's ever going to happen in canon or shout down asexuals who would like some characters that are canonically like them for once.

Found this article on medium while scrolling through some comments in a post here. I recommend you go read the article, it's very insightful. It basically talks about how some cis people are likely Agender due to their lack of an internal sense of gender, or them not ever thinking about gender. I know that this isn't the only experience of being Agender. Agender experiences can be quite varied and different, and not all Agenders will relate to not experiencing or understanding gender, for some it's just a different feeling of gender, or a different type of feeling.
I do know that a lot of Agender people do though which is why I decided to post this here since I feel it could maybe help some people, or maybe just be an interesting article for people to read
Anyway what are your thoughts on this idea? If you have any thoughts or anything you'd like to add please share in the comments.

AroAceAgender (AAA) @lemmy.blahaj.zone Draconic NEO @lemmy.blahaj.zone Aspec flag with Agender colors included in the star.
I recently created a version of the Aspec flag but with the Agender colors in the middle star. I did this because I wanted a flag that represents those of us who are both on the aromantic/asexual spectrum as well as those of us on the agender spectrum. I think there are many of us who relate to many parts of both the aroace and also Agender experiences so I wanted to create a flag that represents being part of both AroAce and Agender spectrums.
Please let me know what you all think about this design, as well as ways it could be improved while still keeping the feel or the original a-spec flag.
Asexuality, aromanticism etc, and marriage fraud investigation
So a partner and us are thinking about getting married so we can emigrate somewhere (we do genuinely want to be together). However we're both ace-spec and thus don't have sex.
We're also both not cis, nor monogamous.
They're also aromantic and thus with all these things we don't behave in a typical mono allocishet way.
So is there any hope for us or will marriage fraud investigators tell us no without us kissing, having sex and generally behaving as expected?
ramblings on oscillating between loneliness and being happy alone
howdy gang, i keep seeing this community in the trending communities thing and it being empty was annoying me, so here's my super cool and awesome post. first btw.
i remember reading (and identifying with) relatively often on reddit how lots of ace people tended to flip-flop between feeling extremely aroace and feeling like they desperately want a partner of some kind, and i want to talk about it.
generally, i am fine most of the time - feeling like i'm living the way i want to live (with no partner) and that i'm not lacking anything in that regard. most of the time i feel like being on my own suits me and perfectly aligns with everything about my general being. very infrequently i get an intense desire to find a partner and share my life with someone in some capacity, but those are momentary and maybe last a day at the longest. i know i don't actually want that for the long run and i'm perfectly happy on my own, but man sometimes those feelings are intense and confusing. kinda like
