It has screencaps and links, feel free to look into them!

The forum was up for some time as well, before being taken down because of the personal information it had on many of the old members. I also don't hate demisexuality, I just don't like what it's mostly used for: Basically white heterosexual people who want a reason to call themselves 'queer'

I get it, being normal isn't fun, but queer is not a special club that you've finally found the golden ticket to enter. It's a heavy term with a long history of bigotry and hatred connected to it. You're not queer if you're cisgendered and are only attracted to people of the opposite sex. No one is going to attack you/murder you simply because you aren't attracted to people until you have feelings for them. And the straight tumblr users who post about how hard it's going to be to tell their parents that they're only attracted to the opposite sex people they love, just stop.

For the record, I consider myself demisexual and I would never call myself queer. I get your anger, though.

Enjoy your snowflake sexuality.

I don't really enjoy it.

You just enjoy bringing it up every. chance. you. get.

No...? I bring it up when it's the topic of conversation, like it is right now?

Just so you know those other anon replies weren't me. /Anon who posted the link

Sincere question: do you consider it an orientation like gay or straight or more like a preference? I just get stuck on the terminology because if you're demisexual then you still have to be hetero-,homo-, or bisexual because the term doesn't describe who you are attracted to on the rare occasions when you do feel attraction. I can understand feeling like you're different from how you've been told "normal" people are and feeling happy to find a term that describes it and defines it as a legitimate thing, so I've got no problem with the idea in itself.

I consider it more of a kind of asexuality than anything. I wouldn't call it its own separate thing like hetero-, homo- or bisexuality. Preference is a good word for it.

That makes sense to me. I sometimes have the same issue with asexuality. I get having absolutely no attraction to anyone, but the romantic aces still seem like they fit under hetero, homo, and bi since the "-sexual" refers to the physical sex of the people you are attracted to rather than who you have sex with. But they seem happy with their terminology so I mostly just keep my thoughts to myself.

It's more of a category thing. If you're ace, but are only romantically attracted to people of the same gender? You're going to be treated differently than someone who's straight, you know? They're still gay, they just lack the sexual attraction part.

I guess it's hard to describe. If I was forced to give a label, I'd be Asexual. But I'm only attracted romantically to men. Soooo, I'm straight. I don't fall under the queer umbrella just because I lack sexual attraction. I get annoyed by non-trans/gender/queer people who claim/want to be under the LGBTQ umbrella. You're not going to be assaulted or harassed for it.

I feel this way about it too.

Oh, last time I was given a link to factualwiley's account for the whole drmisexuality thing it didn't have anything backing it up so I figured it was just made up for notes. I assumed this was still the case.

And for the record I think demisexuality's a shame, but fucking hate it when people don't back up their claims.
