being THREE and thinking it's unique that you didn't feel sexual attraction is creepy and fucked up, what the hell do you think other three year olds are thinking?! asexuals can't successfully ape many aspects of thr gay experience as their own narrative, it just doesn't work. this is one of those things.

I agree that three is too young to know anything. (I don't even think a three year old could know they're gay, I was just talking about other people claiming to know he was gay, but that was more based on him being "girly" and most people back then thinking feminine=gay than him having crushes on boys, and it's actually not even relevant in this discussion so in hindsight I probably shouldn't have even mentioned it at all.) Anyway.

I do think it's possible to be I don't know what age...5-7? and realize that you're what you will later recognize as asexual (or, I guess, technically, aromantic, since I'm not talking about sex). If all the kids around you are having crushes on classmates and you don't, there's a chance you'll feel different, and once you later learn the word asexual/aromantic you'll realize you felt that way even at 6, or whatever. I mean, depending on where you grow up (although it seems less likely these days) it might go the same way if you're gay...you realize you have same sex crushes as a young child but you might not be familiar with the word gay, but once you find out what it means, you realize you are. (I say it's less likely because I feel like even younger kids know what gay means nowadays.)

And what I'm talking about is not sexual attraction, because kids in kindergarten or first or second grade don't feel sexual attraction, but they can still have non-sexual, "romantic" (at least as romantic as they can be at that age) crushes on other kids. And kids can NOT have those crushes, too. And of course, it doesn't always mean they're asexual because plenty of people are just "late bloomers" or whatever. But they can also not have any crushes as a kid, realize they're asexual when they're older, and in hindsight realize they were different all the way back then.

It's late and I should be in bed, so I don't know if this is even making any sense.
