Hi Charlie!
I’m really happy right now because I’m writing my FIRST article, do you believe it?
So, I’ve been reading a lot of articles on the blog, and I saw that only two articles out of the 900 that we can find here are about the LGBTQ+ community. It made me a bit sad, so I’d like to add mine :)
I want to tell you about the asexual spectrum, I hope you’ll find it interesting because it is.
First, being asexual means that you don’t have sexual desire, but there are different ways of not feeling sexual attraction for people. (By the way, in this article I’ll use the short version of asexual: ace.)
The ace flag, beautiful isn't it?
The greysexuality (or graysexuality):
Someone who is greysexual can feel sexual desire for people really rarely and only in some circumstances.
Their flag.
Demisexuality:
Someone who is demisexual will experience sexual attraction for a person, only after making a strong emotional connection with them.
Their flag.
Fraysexuality:
Someone who is fraysexual feels sexual attraction for someone that they just met, but this attraction disappears once they know well the person. (This is the opposite of demisexuality.)
Their flag.
Apothisexuality:
Someone who is apothisexual is respulsed by sex, they're also called "sex-respulsed asexuals".
Their flag.
Lithosexuality (or akoisexuality):
Someone who is lithosexual feels sexual attraction for people but doesn't want it to be reciprocated.
Their flag.
You can leave a comment to ask me a question about something you didn't understand, I'll try to explain it in a different way.
Have a good day!
Simone
PS: If you are ace, you are VALID, you are not broken or i don't know what else, you are normal and people don't have to think that you're strange or tell you that you are sick, you are VALID.

Yeah! I'm so happy that you chose to write an article about that as I really enjoyed it when you taught the class about that. I loved learning so much about that spectrum and I think it helps us being more respectful of every sexuality when we are informed about them. So thank you for this great article ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much fjcngjd
DeleteI really liked talking to the class about the spectrum so yeah i was like- "Why wouldn't it be a subject for an article?".
I'm so happy that you enjoyed learning about the ace spectrum :)
And you're totally right when you say that it helps us being more respectful, I hope my article can open minds and interest people, and it might even help someone discover that they're ace, it would be awesome for real.
Thank you for you comment :)
omg, thank you so much for giving representation, your article is very educative and i really appreciate that you talked about so many sides of the spectrum 🥺💜🖤🤍
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU MIRA!
DeleteI really liked talking about the spectrum and doing searches because I didn't wanted to say something wrong and it makes me SO happy that you liked the article.
I tried to talk about as many sides as I could but actually a LOT of sides are not in the article because there are SO many sides, and there are also people that just define themselves as "asexual" and do not want to be in a category :)
Oh ! a fellow ace that only finds that it's their pizza that's too hot not the people around them :))))
Deleteyeah exactly! also pastas are too hot sometimes it's hard :)
DeleteWow! I did not know that there was so many type of asexuals! Again, categorize people is not so good for some people, but knowing all of them is relevant and opening-mind too! I remarked that the white "colour" came back multiple times, is that a coincidence or it is deliberate?
ReplyDeleteThank you
Yesss, I know that some people don't wan't to be categorised, and it's totally fine, but I also wanted to explain some sides of the ace spectrum, so I created the article.
DeleteFor the white color, actually it comes in a LOT of LGBTQ+ flags, it symbolises allies :)
Thank you for your comment!
I ddn't know Much about asexual people so it was very interesting. I think that this article could help people that are lost with They're sexual orientation to find out if they are asexual or not.
ReplyDeletealso, the litho flag is so pretty?? it looks like a sunset 🥺
ReplyDeleteIKR!
DeleteIt's one of my faves
I thought of the same thing! I also like the fraysexual flag idk the colors are so cute
DeleteYES! Also the bigender flag is SO beautiful! This is not in the ace flags but I really appreciate this one, like the colors are so cute there.
DeleteI didn't know much about asexual people so it was an interesting article for me. This article might help people that are lost with they're sexual orientation to find out if they are asexual or not.
ReplyDeleteWoW!!!! This article is Amazing! I had no ideas there was so many flag and meanings of asexual! This is so educational :) 💜🖤🤍🖤💜
ReplyDeleteAmazing? Reallyyy? Thank youu!
DeleteActually there is a flag per sexuality or side of the sexuality so YES there are a LOT of flags, but they're all really pretty don't you agree?
how come every letter of the lgbt has a pretty flag while mine (bi) looks like... that? it's so ugly smh
ReplyDeletethank u for the educational article btw :^)
Our flag is beautiful too tho, (like it's mine too, but for the romantic feelings, anyway) it's a pretty one.
DeleteThank you so much for writing about that!It's an incredible article, I learned a lot of things and I'm happy to know more about asexuals. Thanks again for educating us on that subject also all of the flags are so pretty and little reminder : you're so valid if you identify as any of that!!
ReplyDeleteomg you are so nice fgjcn
DeleteThank you for saying all those nice things about my article I-
(yes the flags are so pretty like every single flag in the LGBTQ+ community is beautiful)
And thank you for the little reminder, maybe I should've written that at the end of the article?
I really think all the things I said no need to thanks me! And yeah you could have but it's not a big deal that you forgot.
DeleteI think I'll try to add it at the end of the article.
DeleteUpdate: I did edit the article, now there is the PS part :)
DeleteThanks for educating us a bit more on the LGBTQ’s community😘 we don’t talk about it enough
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you made it it’s very clear and easy to understand
I'm very happy that it's clear and easy to understand, I was a bit scared about that actually.
DeleteThank you for taking time to read my article :)
Hi! Thank you for sharing this post! I think it is very important to educate people about the LGBTQ+ community !
ReplyDeleteAs you said there are not many articles about that so thank you again!
Hi! Thank you for your comment! I wanted to add my article so I did x)
DeleteI think we should talk more about the LGBTQ+ community in class too, like in the"SVT" class.
Okay but just... THIS IS SO GREAT THAT SO %ANY PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT LGBT, FEMINISM and other things like that ! Your article is actually amazing, and I've discovered plenty of things i did not know about, and I just thought...maybe I am actually demisexual ! Anyway, great article !
ReplyDeleteOoh I'm really happy if I helped you find that you're demisexual! Thank you a lot for your nice comment :)
DeleteAmazing article ! I didn’t know there were that much different types of asexuality. Thank you soooooo much for learning us things like that, I believe this subject needed your article here ! Glad to learn new things thanks to you 💜🖤🤍
ReplyDeleteIkr there is a looooot of different types in the spectrum, I'm very happy that you learned things with my article :) Thank you so much for reading it.
DeleteHeyy Simone, thank you for your article I really learned a lot of things that I didn't know. Thanks for participating to the "increase general culture" process of Her Majesty 😉.
ReplyDeleteGlad you learned things! Thank you for reading it :)
DeleteIt's nice of you to write an article about that since people talk about it rarely so we don't really get the chance to learn much about it. Thank you, I loved reading it!
ReplyDeleteThis was the first subject of article that came to my mind and I had to write about it, like it's so interesting to learn about sexual attraction :) I'm glad you loved reading it!
DeleteThis was a very informative and colorful article (adding the flags was a brilliant idea) You are absolutely right to insist that everyone is valid and that no one should feel ashamed of who they are whoever or whatever they are. But in my opinion, this applies to everything not just gender or sexual orientation. I'm really glad if this article is giving you and others a sense of recognition especially if you feel/felt you do/did not receive it. But, if I may, do not rush to label yourself, it's too reductive. Everyone/everything evolves and that's what makes life interesting and a one of a kind journey.
