#caedsensual

Shout out to erasgender, erassexual, erasromantic, erasplatonic, erasfamilial, erasaesthetic, erasensual, erasqueerplatonic, erasalterous, eraswaveric, and any other eras- people.

You are not broken. You are not wrong or a traitor. You are not "spreading misinformation/stereotypes" about queerness being a choice or an event that happens later in life.

It is okay to feel as though you have lost your gender or attraction or whatever else due to trauma.

It is okay to feel as though your gender or attraction or whatever else has faded with time or spontaneously disappeared.

You are real. You are welcome here. You are beloved. You belong in the queer community.

Asensual (asen for short) flags part 2 :) 🌇🟧 (Due to the image limit, this is split into 2 posts.)

I noticed some a-spec flags were missing tertiary counterparts, so I made some. Some of these flags have already been made before, so they’re not all original (I still wanted to have all the flags together in a set, and all in the same res).

loveless asen | lovequeer asen | heartless asen

asenvague | caedsensual | autiasen

I’ll also note that some of these terms can have multiple names, with the “sensual”, “asensual”, & “asen” part being interchangeable. This isn’t applicable to every term though. I also chose not to list everything to try to keep it brief. So for example, loveless asen can also be called loveless asensual.

Caed- or Caedo- A feeling that one was previously able to experience a particular kind of attraction, but that ability was lost due to trauma or negative events.

Sensual attraction: Having a desire to engage in sensual acts with a certain individual (kissing, cuddling, hugging, hand holding, etc). Useful for people on the ace/aro spectrum who are uncomfortable with romantic or sexual acts or feel little to no sexual or romantic attraction but do desire sensuality or do feel sensual attraction.

Centered on the bottom of the flag are three partial vertical stripes, each a fifth of the width of the flag. The outer two stripes are grey and are two fifths of the height of the flag, while the middle is white and is three fifths the height of the flag]
