“Abrosexual” is a relatively new sexual preference term that could require an editorial explanation according to the United Kingdom media outlet Metro.
Emma Flint, a freelance journalist, wrote an op-ed for Metro’s “Platform” section, a portion of the website dedicated to “opinions, real life stories and analysis from experts in their field.” In the piece, she explained how she came out as “abrosexual” in 2020 only to be confronted by a close friend claiming that “this doesn’t sound real.”
“For those of you who don’t know what abrosexuality is, in layperson’s terms, it simply means when someone’s sexual identity fluctuates and changes,” Flint wrote.
She noted that she did not know about the term until two years ago when she was 30 years old. Flint lamented abrosexuality was still not more well-known.
“When I was growing up, I’d never heard the term abrosexual – you were either straight, gay, or lesbian as far as nineties society was concerned. Anything else was made up,” she wrote.
“Of course, we know that’s far from the truth – but societal blindspots mean we learn terms much slower than if they’re readily accessible.”
Flint added, “When I tell people that I’m abrosexual, I’m often greeted by a blank expression, followed by a question of what the term means. And questions are fine, as long as they’re respectful. I’m not expecting everyone to know what it means – hell, I didn’t until two years ago – but you should always listen with respect.”
Dictionary.com reports that early versions of the term “abrosexual” came from 2013 with an abrosexual flag making social media rounds in 2016. The term, however, has still not found mainstream approval.
“Eventually, I hope that abrosexuality will be seen as normal, just another identity that someone might have, and not regarded as a way to be ‘on trend’, as some of the hurtful comments I’ve received suggest,” Flint wrote.
“Acceptance can only come from education, and stepping outside your comfort zone to familiarise yourselves with terminology you might not know.”
“There’s a whole wealth of LGBTQ+ knowledge online that people would benefit from learning, so that ignorance isn’t the main language so many of us speak.”
Abrosexual = CRAZEE
These people are demonstrably insane..........
My sexual identity changes every 5 minutes therefore I must have control over everyone around me so they do my bidding.
The delusions of the seriously mentally ill take many forms. This is yet another one for those who pander to these very sick people to adopt and even to celebrate. How cruel can someone be to do this to these pathetic, sick people?
Yep! Pretty much!
Well that's handy. You can always be in the latest social woke fashion and lay claim to the best perks.
Gibberish
The Democrat Party panders to ‘groups’ no matter what size or predilection. That is how they accumulate ‘power’.
Once they achieve the amount of power they desire, these ‘groups’ will be disposed of quickly and efficiently.
The Soviets did it, the Nazis did it, The Chicoms did it, Castro did it, Pol Pot did it, Venezuela did it.
The ‘intellectuals’ are the first to be disposed of.
Then the universities are cleaned out.
The sport & entertainment industry is then destroyed.
The Technology industry is focused on surveillance and ubiquity.
The people wake up one morning and discover that they are now living in Orwell’s nightmare....................
“The delusions of the seriously mentally ill take many forms.”
You’re being too generous. They aren’t mentally ill. They’re evil, and being controlled by Satan, pure and simple. Calling them ill gives them a pass.
Good point.
Very handy..
Your daughter comes home on Monday saying she is a guy. If you refuse to acknowledge it, you lose custody of her, er, him. Then on Wednesday, she decides she is a girl again. Watch your pronouns, Cis dad! Or Woe unto you!
How is it handy? Well, you need to pee and the men’s room is closed for cleaning. Well, at the moment and there is an open woman’s room ready for a tinkle! Viola! I am feeling like a woman!
Haha, I thought that was what the 'Q' was for....
AOPIAS. Any Old Port In A Storm.
There are only two sexes, period.
I think first off, we need to remove the word, “Sexual.” That word refers to biology and not gender. You are either heterosexual, homosexual or bi-sexual. That’s it. Everything from that point on is gender affirmation.
As an example, I am a heterosexual, but I identify as a female golden retriever named Pickles. My heterosexual wife identifies as a wheel of cheese, its name to be determined at a later date.
Funny you should mention that. A while ago I was in a Wendy’s and I really, really had to go. The men’s room was occupied, so I identified as a woman for the few minutes necessary. Of course I locked the door so as not to offend any cis woman. As soon as I came out, I went back to identifying as a man.
I'm a abrosexual- defer to me.
That’s sexist! What about Achicsexual?
