Somepeople helped me learn several different aspec identities that I have never heard before and get even less representation than arospec and acespec identities. Here is what i learned:

Annatractional- feels no atraction whatsoever

Aphysical-complete lack of physical attraction

-Asexual- Lack of sexual attraction

-Ansthetic- Lack of aesthetic attraction

-Ansenseual-Lack of sensual attraction

Aemotional-Lack of emotional attraction

-aromantic- Lack of romantic attraction

-nonalterous-Lack of desire for emotional closeness

-alplatonic- Lack of platonic attraction

Atertiary(considered offensive to some, people have suggested eriattraction instead)-A term used to describe a lack of several different types of attraction besides the attractions in the physical and emotional categories.

It is a spectrum so some people may still feel some of these despite identitfying as them. These are labels some people use to feel comfortable with with who they are and push the stereotype of what love should be or that love is above all and also for reasons thay are personal and unique to them. These labels are important to people and should be respected. Because it's who they are. I hope one day there will be stories that can use all these different unique ways of being. I hope expectations of attraction will be teared down and everyone can just be who they are. But for now lets spread awareness. Society is rigid and does not care. Lets change this for everyone to be thier unique selves.

( I may have got some things wrong so please do not hesitate to correct me)(I am new to a lot of this and have never heard of most of these until recently).

[anattractional-safe-space]

Hello! This is a genuine question, and not meant to be offensive in any way. Most of our system are on the a-spectrum in some way, and we are a bit confused on two terms, and need some clarification for a project we are working on.

We understand most anattractional terms (ansthetic/nonaesthetic, aplatonic, afamilial, asensual, etc), and easily see how they are classified as queer/variant, however we are very lost on analterous and aqueerplatonic, and where their placement is on the queer/variant-conformant spectrum.

Most people do not experience alterous and queerplatonic attraction. Those two forms of attraction are already, on their own, classified as queer and uncommon. So wouldnt the terms analterous & aqueerplatonic be conformant terms, since thats how most people are expected to be in the first place?

Greyalterous and greyqueerplatonic, we understand as being queer, because it still describes a person experiencing queer attraction, and experiencing attraction and relationships in a way that amatonormativity does not approve of.

Ansthetic, aplatonic, afamilial, and asensual we understand being queer, because it describes a person lacking attraction that amatonormativity reinforces.

But analterous & aqueerplatonic are conforming to amatonormativity, aren't they?

Thank you for the ask! No worries about your question. It's perfectly valid!

I feel like my take on these kinds of things is always on whether the individual who uses the label identifies as queer(as long as they don't claim that a philia or something of that sort is queer), regardless of whether their identity is something that is commonly aligned with by non-queer individuals, such as analterous and aqueerplatonic. However, I understand that this does not completely answer your question.

Honestly, it is up to the person. Simply because one part of someone's identity aligns with allo experiences, does not make them any less queer. Also, if allo individuals aren't aware of what queerplatonic and alterous attraction even is, it is highly unlikely that they would identify as someone who does not experience those.

Perhaps this is a bad take, but I feel that because most individuals who identify as queer and align with those 2 identities do not only consider themself those two identities, might be aligned with why the terms are queer. The terms specify more about an individual ans where they lie on the split attraction model(if they use it).

I know this is more of an opinion based answer, but it's the best one I an presently provide. If anyone else wishes to add on it the tags or comments, I will screenshot them and add them on to a rebloged version of this.

I hope that helps! If anyone else has any more questions or experiences to share, my ask box is always open.

(Another thing to note, because of the hacking of the web archive, the original uses of the terms from my references are difficult to find. Once that gets fixed, it can probably better contextualize this situation.)

Aphysical, aemotional, and atertiary recoins

(Original post is here)

Aphysical and aphys-spec

A term for someone who does not experience physical attraction. This person may also be asexual, nonaesthetic, and/or asensual, or they could experience those types of attraction without a physical component.

The aphysical spectrum (aphys-spec) is a broader label that also encompasses those who experience atypical (fluctuating, very little, fluid, demi-/auto-/fray-/etc) physical attraction.

Flag meanings are the same as the original aphysical flag. The aphys-flag meanings are pink-brown for atypical physical attraction, pink-orange for aphys-spec people who still have/want physical relationships, gray for aphysical identity, pink for ace/asen/etc-spec people, and purple for asexual/asensual/etc people.

Aemotional and aemo-spec

A term for someone who does not experience emotional attraction. This person may also be aromantic, nonalterous, and/or a(queer)platonic, or they could experience those types of attraction without an emotional component.

The aemotional spectrum (aemo-spec) is a broader label that also encompasses those who experience atypical (fluctuating, very little, fluid, demi-/auto-/fray-/aego-/lith-/cupio-/etc) emotional attraction.

If you don't like vowels next to each other at the beginning of words you can call this ‘anemotional’ and ‘anem-spec’.

Also, someone (AndleRandle on Fandom) actually already made an aemo-spec flag but I wanted an official/matching one instead. So sorry Andle! Your flag is fine I just wanted to make my own.

Flag meanings are the same as the original aemotional flag. The aemo-flag meanings are dark pink for atypical emotional attraction, pink for aemo-spec people who still have/want emotional relationships, dark gray for aemotional identity, blue for aro/apl/etc-spec people, and dark blue for aromantic/aplatonic/etc people.

Atertiary and ate(r)-spec

A term for someone who does not experience tertiary attraction. This person would also be nonamical, asocial, amental, axenial, adomestic, and a[any other type of tertiary attraction].

The atertiary spectrum (ate[r]-spec) is a broader label that also encompasses those who experience atypical (fluctuating, very little, fluid, demi-/auto-/fray-/aego-/lith-/cupio-/etc) tertiary attraction. The ater-spec can also include people who experience some, but not all, types of tertiary attraction.

However some people don't like the term tertiary attraction because it can imply that types of attraction other than physical/s3xual (3=e) and emotional/romantic are less important. The term eriattraction was created as an alternative and some Fandom users (idk who) suggested that atertiary could therefore also be called noneriattracted (and I suggest that ater-spec could be noneri-spec). Another suggestion to replace tertiary is non-rose. So atertiary could also be called anrose and anro-spec.

Flag meanings are the same as the original atertiary flag. The ater-flag meanings are purple for atypical tertiary attraction, blue for ater-spec people who still have/want tertiary relationships, light gray for atertiary identity, yellow for axen/asoc/etc-spec people, and orange-brown for axenial/asocial/etc people.

Notes:

-Someone who is completely aphysical, aemotional, and atertiary may be considered anattractional (not experiencing any form of attraction at all).

-What counts as physical vs emotional vs tertiary attraction is completely up to the individual! Attraction feels different to everyone and if someone wants to use one if these terms due to being on an a-spectrum that I didn't explicitly list on the definition that's fine. (Ex: an apresential person considering themself aphysical or aemotional instead of atertiary).
