Fictosexual, LGBTQIA+

I know how alien it looks to others. But ten years don’t lie, do they?
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

I’m a cishet guy. Asexual men are not discussed enough as a group. Growing up, I felt an immense amount of pressure to try and fit in with the “Sex-obsessed” man.
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

It helped me feel less alone about my sexual experiences and to learn the differentiation between arousal and attraction.
Aromantic, LGBTQIA+

I feel I appreciate my platonic relationships more and feel a great love for family and friends. However, I also feel a great loneliness where I can’t love someone the same way as they love me.
LGBTQIA+, Non-Binary

Non-binary can mean a lot of things. I use the label to describe how I don’t fit into the gender norms
Agender, LGBTQIA+

It feels like I am missing something that most people have, but in missing that, I am more myself, so I gain something in knowing who I am.
Gender Fluid, LGBTQIA+

Non-cis people have a rock in their shoe. They grew up assuming that it was normal for your feet to always hurt, until they realized it wasn’t. Cis people tell them that it’s nonsense. They say it’s impossible for one to have a rock it their shoe. But they don’t know because they’ve never experienced it themselves.
Abrosexual, LGBTQIA+

I prefer when i’m attracted to women but i experience attraction to men most
Fictosexual, LGBTQIA+

No, liking a fictional character is not an “Incel thing”.
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

I stop and think “what do I feel when I think someone is hot?” and it’s just that they are very good looking. I’m ace, I’m not blind. I still don’t feel anything sexual for them. And I don’t usually find people “hot”.
Bisexual, LGBTQIA+

How I see bisexuality is attraction to multiple genders. I do not care how many, or if it is with a preference, if you like the label bi, then use it.
Bigender, LGBTQIA+

My gender is like a coin; one side is male, one is female, both sides are 100% their own thing and seperated from each other but still part of the same whole that is me.
Agender, LGBTQIA+

For me, being agender means that I just don’t care. I don’t experience any specific feeling surrounding my gender, and I just feel like myself.
Autosexual, LGBTQIA+

Society like to promote self-love but if you actually like yourself, people will tell you’re prétentious
LGBTQIA+, Polysexual

We have limitations on what genders we like
LGBTQIA+, Trans Men

You get to be who you were supposed to be, which shouldn’t be hard. It should just be simple. You become who you really are.
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

Outlook on sex is that its fine if it’s between two consenting adults but isn’t something I ever want to experience.
LGBTQIA+, Non-Binary

As I said to the boy on the bus who asked if I was a boy or a girl “no thank you”
Demigender, LGBTQIA+

I am partly comfortable as a girl, but part of me also wants people to see me as non-binary.
Lesbian, LGBTQIA+

I love being women-centered, women-focused. i love being around women. i love being a part of a loving, welcoming, and radiant community
LGBTQIA+, Pangender

Every gender is an orange segment, and I’ve taken the whole orange.
Gender Fluid, LGBTQIA+

Gender is a social construct, meaning we make it whatever we want it to be.
Fictosexual, LGBTQIA+

The more I’ve accepted myself, the easier the labels have come to me.
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

Asexuality is not a hormone imbalance, it’s not just trauma (though it can come from it), it is genuinely a sexual orientation, like any other
Agender, LGBTQIA+

Gender exists in the same way countries do. It’s made up, but not fake.
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

Sex, speaking for myself is more about pleasing my loved one and wanting to make them feel good.
Bisexual, LGBTQIA+

Since I’m more into one gender than the other, I worry that I need to like women more to be valid.
Fictosexual, LGBTQIA+

Being fictosexual doesn’t mean you are inherently anti-social and incapable of “real life” relationships. It’s infuriating to see that rhetoric spun around repeatedly. I’m fictosexual and I’m in a “real life” relationship.
LGBTQIA+, Non-Binary

To me, non-binary means no rules I have to follow. No predetermined roles I have to fit. No expectations. No part I’m force to play. I can simply be me and there are no longer rules saying I’m being me wrong.
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

I can actually view women as people rather than sex objects
Agender, LGBTQIA+

I do feel agender. For me that feels like a sort of body dysphoria that I shouldn’t have anything that could identify me as male or female and I feel beyond the stereotypes set by gender giving me a sort of freedom to be who I am instead of what being male would have me be.
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

At the beginning, I thought it was mostly “doesn’t wanna have sex” and while I know now the definition is more akin to “doesn’t feel sexual attraction” the first definition still applies to me
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

When I learned about the term I was like “ooooh, so that’s what I am”
Bigender, LGBTQIA+

Gender is a thing that exists and people do experience it. For me, I just get to experience it squared.
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

I wish people didn’t assume asexuality is a fear of sex. It’s not a trauma induced orientation, just like homosexuality isn’t trauma induced. There is no rhyme or reason for being asexual, we simply are.
Gender Fluid, LGBTQIA+

Honestly I just find it to be the best all encompassing label. I hardly believe anyone can feel like just one thing for the rest of their lives.
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

Love is okay, sex is gross. I feel love – but not in romantic way. I love my cats, i love my job.
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

Discovering asexuality was a positive, exciting thing. I did not have to “come to terms with it”; I embraced it. It felt good to know it was a thing, and that it made sense for me
Agender, LGBTQIA+

No gender means more freedom. I get joy from presenting androgynous, but also from looking however the hell i want without the constant thinking “but that’s what only girls/boys wear”
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

I wish people understood that asexuality isn’t hating sex and never having sex.
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

I thought about my attraction to people and I wasn’t able to find any part of it that was sexual.
Agender, LGBTQIA+

I was asked my gender for the first time and I said no
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

I felt broken. I questioned myself what was wrong with me. Why cant i do the things that seem normal for all the other people. Why is it so easy for other people?
Agender, LGBTQIA+

It feels like i’m nothing, but in a good way. i’m nothing, but i am everything. that’s what it feels like to me.
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

We are not robots, we can have sex if we want to, we are fully fledged persons, we are not children, do not pity us, we are not broken and thus not in need of fixing
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

The human race has been brainwashed with the fact that romance and sex is what makes us human, when that isn’t true
Agender, LGBTQIA+

Not understanding why people care so much about gender, disliking others seeing me as female while I’m not quite male and not enby
Asexual, LGBTQIA+

Love doesn’t equal sex. Just because my other half and I don’t have sex doesn’t mean I love him any less than any other would their spouse.
Agender, LGBTQIA+

differently? not very much, but it’ll make the world a lot better if we abolished gender
LGBTQIA+, Polysexual

Attraction to Trans women makes my wife feel threatened
