thank you for teaching me what I was just wondering about for the second time, after coming to the crisp realization that all I needed was the alternative category(-ies) which could be expected to then also exist other than the asexual branch of methodology/pathology (idk if I am using words correctly here either, lolol number man no use good speak much here). I was about to venture a guess that certainly slurs were not the correct categorization, and that perhaps “sexual” was the other categorization, however I expected that that was unlikely because it also sounds strange as a noun to me
allo-sexual sounds a bit like being attracted to curious french greetings to me lolol I think that this will help me remember the concept. I feel like people attracted to those with foreign accents might even fit such a category in some cases unless I am misunderstanding the concept completely still which seems very plausible to me also since I haven’t even looked up any info on the term yet

this array of possible dispositions (in the Combinations of Attitudes section of that page) towards the general ideas of inclusion/openness also seems like a somewhat useful way of considering more possible manifestations of varying attitudes towards such matters

Allosexuality on Wikipedia
Allonormativity is a concept I now know to look out for. Time to add it to my growing list of normativities to dismantle, avoid, address, etc.
Glad we could help!

Oh yes, absolutely. We were aware of AVEN since we are ace-spec but not this page specifically. Thanks so much for sharing!
