#romantically fluid

Identity’s weird, isn’t it? It’s a series of labels that people choose to apply to themselves. I’ve always been a bit iffy about assigning myself labels - I thought I was using Autistic as a label for a while, and it wasn’t until I realised that I was actually using it as an excuse that I started to take responsibility for my actions.

I’ve recently been struggling with my identity, but recently, while drunk, I managed to start actually hitting the nail on the head. Over time, I’ve started to realise roughly how I identify, which is odd, because the entirety of what I feel I’ve discovered is that my identity shifts; I personally identify as romantically fluid and Grey-Asexual.

Sexuality is the simpler, but also the one I’m less sure about; Grey-Asexual, favouring heterosexuality. I know for a fact that I’m almost always interested in the idea of sex, although mainly for the sake of the partner and for what it means in a relationship, as a milestone. I also know that no matter what, the sight of the female area is vaguely disgusting (again, I’d be more than willing to Please a girl, just the whole look doesn’t interest me or get me as excited as apparently it does for most guys?). I also know there is no way I’m ever sleeping with a guy, hence the “favouring heterosexuality”. It’s possible I’m using the term Grey-Asexual wrong, or any of the terminology I’m using, so if so, feel free to let me know.

Romanticality (?) is the more complex of the two, but the one I’m more sure of. Romantically fluid, ranging from Heteroromantic to Biromantic. Most of the time, I identify as heteroromantic, but on the other hand, there are times when all I want is to have someone to hold me and reassure me that everything is okay. on the other hand, could quite easily be that I’m just assigning a masculinity and the male gender to that feeling of security I so desperately crave? I feel like that could quite easily be what it is, but on the other hand, if I’m right about the fluidity, this could quite easily just be a heteroromantic moment, but idk. maybe writing this down will help me get the mental clarity necessary to figure out what I’m right about and what I’m wrong about.

(Sexually/Romantically/etc.) Fluid Pride Flag

Fluidity: one or more changes in sexual/romantic/etc. identity (sometimes known as sexual/romantic/etc. orientation identity)

Royal Blue and Lavender stripes acknowledge that fluid community members are proudly part of the bisexual community, the flag of which shares these same stripes. Turquoise is an acknowledgement of the pansexual pride flag as well as the many bisexual, pansexual, fluid and queer people who celebrate the power bisexuality has to set us free from binaries of gender and sexuality.
