Ask An Aro Ace ASAW Day 1: Trauma-Based Aromanticism

So today I want to write a bit about what it's like to be aromantic when your aromanticism is trauma-based, such as when a traumatic experience completely cut away your romantic attraction or when you still experience attraction but lack the motivation, confidence, or desire to act on it due to a traumatic experience.

Regardless of your flavor of queer, being queer is always scary in some way. You might be afraid of accepting your queerness, afraid of being wrong and different - afraid of being persecuted and oppressed. You might be afraid of your loved one's reactions, of facing their hate or judgement or even just their ignorance. You might be afraid of navigating through society with your new understanding of who you are, afraid of how this will impact your safety and your job and your ability to buy a home and start a family and get married and have kids.

When you're a trauma-based aromantic, you might, like me, also be afraid of navigating your own community. Afraid you won't be welcome. Afraid you validate bigotry and misconceptions against your community. Afraid people in and out of your community will believe you to be a faker who just needs to be "fixed".

For a long time, I walked this very confusing like where I identified as aromantic to allos but as not-aromantic to aros. I knew allo was no longer a fitting title and that I would not fit in with them. But I was also afraid that I was invading in a place where I shouldn't be in aro spheres. And even after I started broaching aro spaces as an aro, I was very fearful and cautious of revealing that I was caedromantic, someone whose aromanticism was directly tied in with the trauma I survived, which also meant that I couldn't relate to or speak on a lot of aro experiences that other aros had.

And while the target of my fear was me, this was honestly incredibly unfair to the aromantic community, who has never made me feel unwelcome or invalid. The aro community never asked or questioned why I was aro, even after learning the caedro part. They never judged me or silenced me. They never interrogated me. They never pushed me away or told me to leave. Aromantics have only ever accepted and supported me. It was only ever the cis allohets that have made me feel like I am not enough.

And more than that, by talking more and more about being a trauma-based aro, I have discovered that there are a lot more of us than you might imagine. Due to the kind of society we live in, people have trauma, even serious big-T Trauma, is damn common. And trauma changes your brain. It changes how you interact with the world. It changes your relationship to yourself and to others. You can change this further with healing, but trauma can indeed change the brain. It's valid and legitimate if trauma impacts your identity, how you relate to it, and/or how you express it.

But it's scary to admit this and talk about it because the cis allohets only want to use this as a gotchya. For them, this is not the opportunity about the wrongness of our society: exposing people to traumas, gaslighting them over traumas, refusing to provide support and resources for healing over traumas, punishing people for displaying any effects of trauma - it's about using this to invalidate aromanticism.

Any aspec person has heard the anti-aspec claims that being aspec is caused by trauma/mental illness/medication and can therefore be cured, as if we are ill, as if being ill is a reason to harm people. As a trauma-based aro, it feels like you are a direct confirmation of this claim. It feels like your very existence is problematic and harmful to other aros.

BUT!!!

Some people ARE aspec or question if they're aspec or think they're aspec for a while due to things like trauma, mental illness, and/or medication, and this is valid!!! This is the same shitty anti-phase logic like something can be valid and real if it's a phase. You know what's a phase? Everything. Every. Damn. Thing. is a phase. Being a toddler, being a teenager, being alive, bell bottoms, checks being a form of payment, cursive, typewriters, hair length, etc. You know what? Trauma changes you and healing isn't going to return you to who you were before you experienced that trauma. Mental illness is treated and accommodated and coped with but can't just be cured or erased. Some medications need taken for life. It doesn't matter why someone is aromantic or even if they know why at all. Aromantics exist, aromanticism harms no one, and aromantic people deserve to be respected and treated well. The problem isn't that I'm aromantic due to trauma. The problem is that I was exposed to that trauma in the first place. The problem is that support for healing from this trauma is so hard to access. The problem is the way people treat me for having this trauma. The problem is the way people treat me for being aromantic. But being aromantic, for whatever reason, is not a problem.

It doesn't matter if trauma-based aromantics exist or not. Even if we went away or "got cured" (I like being aromantic! I want to be aromantic forever!), anti-aro bigots would still be against aromanticism and seek to harm us. I learned a long time ago that there's no way to make bigots happy. There is no compromise to "I want you to have never existed in the first place, but since you're here now, you're an abomination who should be killed". Targeting trauma and other similar things 'causing' aromanticism is only one way of how anti-aro bigotry is expressed. Even if we didn't exist, the bigots would still hate us. They would still screech that we were broken and wrong and never meant to exist. In my experience, the best way to respond to this in a way that does the least harm to your spirit and soul is to embrace your identity wholeheartedly and exude pride and celebration.

So I'm done hiding. Yes, I am aro due to trauma. Yes, I am happy with this. No, I don't expect everyone to feel the same as me or understand the joy this brings me. No, not all aros are aro due to trauma.

But yes ALL aros are valid and legitimate and deserve to be celebrated!!!

Being Acoaspec, Requisaspec, or caedaspec is mental health scar tissue, not something that needs to be overcome in therapy.

Some Arospec Identities:

This is a list of some Arospec identities! It may be incomplete, and I am not an expert, so please let me know if there are any mistakes/identities you want added. :D

aromantic: experiencing little or no romantic attraction to anyone; not having romantic feelings.

aro flux: someone who fluctuates between experiencing romantic attraction and not experiencing it, and/or experiencing romantic attraction to different strengths.

abroromantic: explained here by an abro person

Akoiromantic/lithromantic: a person who experiences romantic attraction but has no desire or need to have their feelings reciprocated. Sometimes an akoiromantic person’s attraction may fade if a romantic relationship is established.

Alloromantic/zedromantic: someone who does experience romantic attraction. An alloromantic person may be allosexual as well, but not necessarily.

Cupioromantic: someone who does not experience romantic attraction but has a desire to be in a romantic relationship.

Demi(a)romantic: someone who only experiences romantic attraction after establishing a strong emotional connection to someone.

Frayromantic: someone who experiences romantic attraction, but this attraction fades after getting to know the object of attraction.

Grey-(a)romantic: someone who sometimes, occasionally, or rarely experiences romantic attraction. The attraction they experience may be weak, or it might be infrequent. Also used as an umbrella term for all romantic orientations that fall between alloromantic and aromantic.

Quoiromantic/WTF-romantic: someone who finds romantic attraction confusing, or cannot differentiate between platonic and romantic attraction, or is unsure of whether they experience romantic attraction.

Nebularomantic: is a neurosexuality specific to neurodiverse individuals, and it falls on the aromantic spectrum. It's a label for people who have difficulty telling the difference between romantic and platonic attraction specifically due to their neurodivergence (or can't tell the difference at all).

Caedromantic: having been able to experience romantic attraction in the past, and not experiencing romantic attraction any more, with the feeling that the romantic attraction was taken away/destroyed or left because of a traumatic experience.

Aegoromantic: Someone who is aegoromantic enjoys the concept of romance but does not want to participate in actual romantic activities. An example of this would be an aegoromantic individual enjoying watching a romantic show or reading a romance novel. However acting out these romantic stories in real life would not be appealing to an aegoromantic person. An aegoromantic person would typically not desire a romantic relationship.

Apothiromantic: People on the aromantic spectrum who consider themselves to be romance-repulsed, are called apothiromantic. A romance-repulsed aromantic is repulsed by the idea of romance all together. Like with any romantic identity, apothiromantic individuals can have any sexual orientation. Their aromantic identity is not directly connected to their sexual identity.

Arospike: is an aromantic orientation on the aromantic spectrum. This identity is for those who usually do not feel a romantic attraction. Sometimes however, an arospike can experience a (rare) sudden spike of aromantic attraction that will last for a short amount of time. After this they will return just as quickly, to aromantic.

autoromantic: is a term for people who experience a romantic attraction (exclusive or not) towards themselves. It can occur in different forms, such as: fantasizing about a romantic relationship with yourself. Or, as described above: feeling little to no romantic attraction to others but being able to feel romantic attraction to yourself.

Bellusromantic: defined as someone who has interest in (certain aspects of) traditional romantic behaviour such as holding hands and cuddling. However, a bellusromantic would not experience romantic attraction and does not want an actual romantic relationship. So they keyword here is ‘interest’. The interest is there, but a bellusromantic can’t and wouldn’t want to put it into practice.

Fictoromantic: falls under the aromantic spectrum as they do not experience romantic attraction to (real life) people. Fictoromantic is a term used for people who experience romantic attraction exclusively towards fictional characters. Fictoromantic is also known as fictonromantic.

Myrromantic: Someone who identifies as myrromantic is on the aromantic spectrum but might feel confused as to where exactly, as they can experience multiple aromantic identities at once. They can also rapidly fluctuate. As an example: a person who considers themself to be both demiromantic as well as grayromantic. This might be confusing to some, which is why myrromantic can be a more comfortable label to identify with.

Recipromantic: A recipromantic (also known as reciproromantic) is someone who does not experience romantic attraction until they know that the other individual is romantically attracted to them first. The word comes from the word ‘reciprocate’.

Requisromantic: someone who experiences a very limited, or no romantic attraction and interest due to some form of emotional exhaustion. The reason of emotional exhaust may have many reasons such as (bad) past experiences dealing with romance or other emotionally draining reasons.

amicusromantic: explained here by an amicusromantic person.

Arospecs whose arospec identities are influenced by negative experiences, trauma, disability, or neurodivergency are super valid and remarkably strong! I’m talking about acoromantics, caedromantics, requisromantics, adfecturomantics, arovagues, and nebularomantics!! To these arospecs, don’t let exclusionary and ableist people get you down. Your orientation is just as real and valid as anyone else’s, and you deserve to feel loved and accepted! You’re all such awesome people, and I wish you only the best things in this life!

Community

[ID: Two panels from the Tokyo Ghoul Prototype manga, showing Kaneki stare forward in surprise before nervously ducking his head, trying to avoid a discussion. End ID]

Featuring: Requisromantic Asexual Oneshot Kaneki, Lithromantic Allosexual Hide Word Count: 1200 Content Warnings: Internalized aphobia and imposter syndrome, non-descriptive trauma mentions

(Technically this takes place in my ghoul!Kaneki au, but all you need to know, is that Kaneki is a natural-born full ghoul, had a rough childhood because of being a ghoul in addition to his canon issues with his mom and aunt, and that at this point in the story Hide is aware he’s a ghoul and accepts him.)

[ID: a long arrow pointing right, serving as a text break. It has repeating bands of the requis-romantic flag on the stick. The arrow has a grey point, brown stick, and light blue tail fletching. Credit to K.A. Cook @/aroworlds. End ID]

Lunch had just begun not long ago, and Kaneki and Hide sat in comfortable silence. Hide couldn’t stop thinking about his latest crush, as much as he tried.

And then he realized that it had been a long time since Kaneki last talked about his own crushes.

Oh. I bet it’s 'cuz of the whole ghoul thing…

Hide felt kind of bad for just now noticing. In the past, Kaneki loved to have the chance to talk about his love life judgement-free.

“Hey, do you like anyone?” Hide asked, opening up the topic.

Kaneki looked at him, and then quickly glanced away. “I don’t wanna talk about it.”

“Hey, it’s okay.” Hide whispered. “You being a ghoul didn’t change this, just like how it didn’t change anything else. It’s not weird or gross, regardless whether you like a human or a ghoul. It’s okay to talk about.”

Kaneki shook his head. “No, it’s not that. I… I don’t have a crush.”

Kaneki glanced down, preparing himself. Over the past several years, whenever he told people that, they would always insist that was not possible, and then accuse him of lying and pressure him to tell them the truth.

“Oh.” Hide blinked, pulling back. “Okay. Sorry for pushing.”

Hide stabbed his food with his fork, the gears in his mind turning.

He doesn’t have a crush? And hasn’t for a while, it seems like. Could he be aromantic…?

“Hold on.” Kaneki said. “...You believe me?”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Hide asked.

Kaneki shrugged awkwardly. “Well, other people usually don’t. And I know you’re different from them, and a lot nicer, but… isn’t it weird?”

“Not really. There’s actually quite a few other people out there who don’t get crushes.”

Kaneki froze, taking a moment to make sure he heard Hide right. And then his eyes lit up and he cried, “There are???”

“Yeah!” Hide smiled, happy that he managed to help Kaneki that much with just that one phrase.

Then Kaneki realized something, and it all crashed. “Oh. Is it, like, a queer identity?”

“Yup! Aromantic!” Hide said, and went on a short spiel of what it entailed.

But Kaneki’s hopes kept dropping. Aromantic was an identity. An orientation. Like how people were gay or how he was bi. Being aromantic wasn't like what happened to him.

“Do you think you could be aromantic?” Hide asked once his little spiel on aromanticism was done.

“No.” Kaneki shook his head. “No, I don’t think so. I’ve gotten crushes before.”

“Well, some aromantics do get crushes. It’s a spectrum, with a lot of grey areas. Actually! I’m an arospec who gets crushes!”

“Wow, really?”

Hide nodded. “I never brought it up before, but yeah. I’m lithromantic, which means I get crushes but they fade at reciprocation.”

“Huh.” Kaneki whispered. And thinking about Hide’s past relationships, it made a lot of sense.

“So, you could still be aromantic. If you think it fits.”

Kaneki shook his head. “It’s not like that. I’ve gotten crushes. Crushes that were undeniably crushes, and there was never anything off about them. Until…”

“Until?” Hide asked.

Kaneki sighed. “I haven’t had a crush since I was about 14. Since… Since all the bad stuff with my aunt started.”

“Oh.”

“I didn’t even notice at first. I had way too much going on — between that and trying to survive and keep my grades up. But then a year had passed and… nothing. I’ve tried everything trying to feel something again, but…” He shook his head hopelessly.

“I’m so sorry.” Hide whispered. “I had no idea.”

“Anyway, I don’t think I could call myself aromantic. I’m not a real aromantic, y’know? I’m just a broken bisexual.”

“Well.” Hide began. “The aromantic community? It’s really diverse and inclusive. Like, we’ve been thrown under the bus so many times, most of us are willing to include anyone who relates and wants to be included. And… some aromantics are trauma survivors, or have their aromanticism affected by their neurodivergency.”

Kaneki wasn’t quite following. “What are you saying?”

“I’m not trying to force any labels on you.” Hide said. “But you seem troubled by this. And the aromantic spectrum is huge. If you want to, you should take a look at it. You’re allowed to research. You’re allowed to question.”

Kaneki looked down and played with his hands, thinking it over.

“And even if you don’t want to claim any arospec labels, I’m sure you could still use our resources if any apply to you. What you're going through sounds pretty similar, at the very least.”

“Okay.” Kaneki whispered, nodding slowly. “Thanks.”

Hide reached out to hold Kaneki’s hand. “And even if you do turn out to be just a… troubled bisexual, just know that it’ll be okay. Even in different ways and for different reasons, there’s other people out there who don't date. You’re not alone.”

Kaneki nodded as his eyes started to water, grateful to have someone like Hide in his life.

---

Kaneki stared at the pin on Hide’s backpack. Kaneki had never known what it was, until now. He recognized it from when he was doing research on aspec identities.

“Ah, that’s my lithromantic pin!” Hide said, noticing Kaneki’s staring.

“I know.” Kaneki said. “And you have Aromantic and AlloAro ones too.”

“Wow. I’m impressed. You learned those fast.”

Kaneki shrugged, getting a little embarrassed by his praise. “I wanted to learn more about the aromantic spectrum, and your identities.”

“Aww. That’s sweet.” Hide said. “I’m okay with you asking stuff too, by the way. It’s not that I’m hiding it, I just… It’s a lot to explain from scratch and a lot of people insist it's not real.”

Kaneki nodded slowly. “I sort of know what that’s like. And okay, I’ll ask if I have any questions.”

“So, uh… Did you happen to find any arospec identities you relate to?”

“I actually did.” Kaneki said.

“Really? Which ones?”

“Well, I guess it's not an arospec identity, but… I realized that I’m asexual.”

Hide blinked. “Whoa, really?”

Kaneki nodded. “I didn’t believe it at first. I just wrote it off as 'normal' stuff, but then I remembered that I thought the same thing when I discovered I was bi, so I dived deeper and… Well. Apparently sexual attraction is a thing.”

Hide laughed. “Yes, it is.”

“And I never knew!” Kaneki continued. “I was always confused about people’s actions and desires but I never really thought too hard about it. But it all makes sense now.”

“So only acespec identities or did you find some arospec ones too?”

“I looked into the aro terms for trauma survivors.” Kaneki began. “And I think I may have found one.”

“What is it? I’m admittedly not too familiar with that many arospec terms.”

“It’s called Requisromantic.” Kaneki said. “And it's for people who used to experience romantic attraction, but then due to emotional exhaustion they lose that attraction.”

“Emotional exhaustion?” Hide asked.

“For me, it's not the trauma necessarily that caused my attraction to go away.” Kaneki said. “It’s all the aftermath. The stress. Plus my general anxiety and depression.”

“That makes sense.” Hide said. “So, you found some other people with experiences like yours?”

“Yeah.” Kaneki said, unable to hide a smile.

“I’m glad.”

new-ish terms?

so! um! i wanted to coin terms similar to the ARCsexual umbrella...

introducing: ARCromantic (or ARC-R). basically the same thing as ARCsexual, but for romantic instead

proamoural = romance-favorable (symbol is eros)

anamoural (or nullamoural) = romance-indifferent

disamoural = romance-averse (you're opposed to participating in romance but don’t mind romantic activity that doesn’t involve you)

antiamoural (or revulamoural) = romance-repulsed (you are opposed to/repulsed by romance in general)

erisamoural (or chaoamoural) = romance-conflicted or romance-ambivalent

requisamoural = a feeling of aversion and/or repulsion due to trauma and/or emotional/mental exhaustion. as of now it is disabled and ND exclusive

ARC-Rflux (or amouralflux, archerflux (ehehe get it archer-arrow)) = fluctuating ARC-R feelings

im pretty sure ARCsexual can also be used for allos so alloromantics are free to use this as well (im questioning if im aroflux so i mean. h)
