It's clearly a pattern
May. 24th, 2023 10:40 pmSomeone I follow on twitter posted a long thread today about how our society fails to give space to Aces (i.e. asexual and a-romantic people) because of the long stain of christian shame all over sexuality. Why, she asks, must we justify a way of being human by saying it's universal? Surely being gay, straight, trans, ace, etc. can be OK even if not everyone feels that way?
It's a good question and a thoughtful thread.
I'm a bit amused by it though, because I started following her several years ago because she commented on something about game design, and I liked the comment and I thought the profile pic was cute as hell. So I followed her. She's posted fascinating stuff about game company culture, historical Judaism and her present day embrace of it, illuminating threads about why actual Judaism really doesn't fit into the framework of "Judeo-Christian culture", and adorable pics of her Maine coon kitties. She's really neat, I hope she finds me at least mildly interesting, and I want to meet her in person some day.
The amusing part, to me, is the pattern of my attraction to women, many of whom are lesbian or ace or trans-masc (eventually). I really seem to have a type, and that type is women who are not interested in me that way.
