Greypunk / Graypunk ( or Greyqueer / Grayqueer )

Greypunk / Greyqueer is a punk / queer term (similar to Genderpunk/Genderfuck, Voidpunk, and many other queer terms) which focuses on those in the "Grey area(s)" of identity- including but not limited to Greygender/Grey agender people, Greyromantics/Greyaros, Greysexuals/Greyaces, Greyplatonics/Greyapls, and anyone else who feels nebulous/"in-between"/vague/undefinable or similar (especially Neurodivergent, Intersex, Androgynous, and GNC folk).

I use "Grey Area" here with the definition of "not readily conforming to a single category or to an existing set of rules" so I don't have to type that out every time. (You don’t have to use that exact wording for your own identity btw)

This concept is intentionally broad and... grey! I will not gatekeep this term to any specific group(s) or label(s) and I think doing so would be antithetical to it's purpose. So please don't do that and if you want to use it go ahead.

Greypunk / Greyqueer is about community, solidarity, and defending your (and others) right to exist in the "Grey area" while also labeling your gender/attraction/etc. in a way that is the most comfortable/true to yourself/your experiences.

It's about rejecting those who try to draw strict lines around your identity and going "fuck you" when they tell you should (or make assumptions about you).

It's about finding joy and comfort your in your identity, respecting that everything isn't "black and white" (or binary/trinary, however you want to phrase it).

Greypunk / Greyqueer was inspired by my anger at many things, but mainly by the attempted exclusion of Greyaros/Greyaces from the terms Aro/Ace/Aroace or even from calling themselves "bi/gay/[insert orientation] aroace" (on the basis that they aren't "strictly"/"pure" Aros/Aces/Aroaces).

See this blog post on "umbrella crunching" here, this summary post with links, this post, this post, this post, this Arocalypse comment, this post, and this other blogpost (with even more links!) for discussion by people more eloquent than me on the above issues.

It was also inspired by the pushback against that exclusionism that I've seen (shoutout to the r/orientedaroaces subreddit!) as well as my experiences as an Aroace Androgynous Intersex person who's fed up with people defining my experiences for me.

The flag uses the same layout as Genderpunk and a few other -punk terms. I choose it for unity and also I think it just looks good. The colors are taken from the different "Grey-" flags. The dark grey to light grey stands for the "grey area", green is for Greyaros as well as Greyapls, the blue is for Greygender people as well as Greyaroaces, and the purple is for Greyaces as well as GNC, Intersex, and androgynous folks.

( Editing this to include Greyqueer as an alternative term for those who prefer it to the -punk suffix. )

I hate it when they change aroace characters from their source material to the big screen and make them experience romantic or sexual attraction. Aroace people lose their representation when they do that.

[image description: six elongated pixel-style text reading "aroace" striped in the colours of three pride flags. A brown arrow shaft runs across the centre of the letters, forming the horizontal strokes of the letters "A", "R" and "E". A grey arrowhead sits in front of the text; flag-stripe fletching sits behind it. Each image is available in two versions with black or transparent background.

Stripes are coloured in the following aro-ace pride flags: flux (pink to blue gradient), grey (blue/grey/white/grey/blue) and nebula (blue/light blue/white/pink/maroon).

okok I'm aroace but it's so EASY to 'fall in love' with someone, and I think the ideal picture of romance has destroyed that for so many people.

Let me explain.

I use the term 'in love' or 'love' very loosely. For me it either conveys admiration (for aesthetics or their personality or intelligence) in which case I'm not 'attracted' to them I just admire them very very much, and/or love can mean wanting to get to know someone better. I.E. spend time with them, talk about interests with them, be happy with them and try to make them happy in the process. So by 'love' I don't me omg I want to kiss you. No. No, I don't. But you are cool :)

So what I mean then, is that, as Michael Holden once said, “Everyone’s attractive, to be honest. Even if it’s just something small, like, some people have really beautiful hands. I don’t know. I’m a little bit in love with everyone I meet, but I think that’s normal.”

I agree.

For example, some people just have really really lovely voices. Or they're very kind. Or they're very smart. Just the other day I saw an old lady playing her cello and the way she adjusted the spike was just so gentle and loving it just melted my heart.

Idk but I feel like pressure to find that special someone, ie someone that you want, someone perfect or at least perfect for you has made falling in love very difficult.

People don't have to be perfect. They don't have to fit together perfectly. Otherwise there'd only be like two people on earth cuz we just wouldn't need others. Love shouldn't be about satisfying a need to find someone for you, it should be about appreciating how beautiful people are in their own respect, as a 'well rounded character', if you will.

Allo people are so caught up with all this attractiveness or unattractiveness and are they perfect for me or not, that they've just... forgotten how beautiful everyone is? On their own? Without any needing or wanting or comparison to confuse or mar their beauty with the thing that allo people define as 'love'.

Physically, mentally, emotionally - everyone has something very very beautiful about them, that people should notice, without necessarily wanting anything from them.

And of course, it's fine to want things from others, and to feel attraction. I feel queerplatonic attraction to many people. I'm not saying you should stop looking for partners or being attracted to people. I just think we should learn to love and appreciate beauty in it's own right and I wish people wouldn't look at me weirdly everytime I say something sappy or poetic about someone just because they're cool. No, I don't want to kiss them! I either think they're cool, or want to be close to them (non romantically), or both!

In short, I think the world and it's people can be very beautiful, and we've all forgotten what love should mean - that is, kindness, admiration, and respect.

Sorry for the rant :)

atomorose / atomoaroace

A term for greyrose/greyaroace individuals who have only felt sexual and romantic attraction to one individual.

Based on atomosexual and atomoromantic. Follows the same format as the other atomo- flags, but using blue for aroace-spec.

It's simple, but I think it looks good. (Though blue is my favorite color so I may be biased haha)
