A-spec Lingo 101 | Asexual & Aromantic Vocabulary

Hello, lovely humans! Here is a one-stop to learn vocabulary relevant to the a-spec (asexual and aromantic spectrums) community. Words are important. Language is important. It is important that we, as queer people, and more specifically, we as a-spec people, have the words we need to articulate our experiences. This is how we find community. This is how we express our successes, as well as our struggles. We can educate and increase awareness using words. Also, some words (see: Lush) are just straight up fun and adorable, and a delight to have normalized to the point of usage.
Also, ask us questions for an upcoming Q&A video! You can do so in the comments of this video, on our latest community post (found on our Community page on our RUclips Channel), or on our Instagram! Make sure you pipe up, particularly when it comes to questions related to asexuality, aromanticism, queerness, gender, the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, mental health, neurodivergence/ autism/ disability, lifestyle, and anything you're curious about!
