Greyspec, or Grayspec – not experiencing attraction in the same way as others. Some examples are: experiencing attraction less frequently; not experiencing it to the same degree as most; or feeling attraction only occasionally and not all the time.

Greyspec is the grey area between Aspec (little to no attraction) and Allo (experiences attraction normally)

There are many different ways to be greyspec, as it is a spectrum. And greyspec is not just for greysexual or greyromantic, it is a term that can be used for any and all attractions.

An acespec identity that can be combined with other identities (greybisexual, etc) or used as an identity of its own. Also known as greyasexual, grey asexual, and grey ace (occasionally shortened to grace)

The recent shift in focus to lovelessness, heartlessness, repulsion has been great in giving representation to those that feel underrepresented, but it is ultimately coming with the cost of pushing out those that enjoy and enjoy experiencing romance and love. That's not to say that those that are favorable, lovequeer, romo aro, greyspec, etc cannot also be loveless, heartless, repulsed, etc. Nor is it to say we should now push the loveless, heartless, repulsed folks out of the community. Or that lovelessness, heartlessness, or repulsion doesn't also experience strife still.

It is instead to say: we as a community are fostering a space of romance negativity, and to a certain degree, love negativity. Treating romance or love as something evil, something weird or wrong, equating them to illnesses: these are all the examples of romance negativity seeping into our community.
