Know what's cool about the split model of attraction?

Sounds like it's working for you, then. You know they're different components of your attraction and you know they align in a certain way for you.

@carlygayjepsen@anarchism.space @loptr_punk I mean it's not like SAM say that non-apsec people don't exist
Same for sexuality. We can break it down to be specific about the components of our desire.
No one has to conform to amatonormative, heteronormative, monogamously informed rules of interpersonal interaction.
Drop the bioessentialism, rid yourself of slut shaming, and embrace the split model-- and the ace and aro people who brought it.
Being able to unpack attraction is awesome. Feeling uncomfortable by how aesthetically appealing someone is because you don't want to be misunderstood as sexually interested and don't want it to automatically be the beginning of a relationship?
Yeah same lol. So now we can acknowledge things like aesthetic attraction and think about how it plays out into human life and love... and also oppression.
This is what culturally growing up looks like.
I didn't know what these terms were so I looked them up
@Taris
And people on the asexual/aromantic spectrum and intersex people. Their pathologizing of trans people is nothing more than being appealing to cis heterosexual heteroromantic perisex oppressors.
