Are You Skoliosexual? Because It’s A Thing, Along With These Other Stupid Things.

Why?

Why is society so busy lately coming up with so many dumb names for stuff?

We’ve covered the increasingly long list of idiotic made-up gender pronouns many times here at Chicks On The Right, and we’ve talked about various sexualities as well, but just when I think I have a handle on the stupid list of words that I will never accept as legitimate words, more stupid words get added.

Case in point.  Apparently, according to asexuality.org, folks who aren’t interested in having relations of a sexual nature may also be uninterested in having relationships of a romantic nature.  And in fact, it is “common to find mixed combinations of romantic and sexual orientations in the asexual community.”

Ok fine.  So some people don’t want to have sex, and some people don’t want to have romantic relationships, and some people don’t want either, and some people want one or the other, and some people want both.

“SO FREAKING WHAT?” you might be wondering.

Well, according to a “team member” from AVEN (Asexual Visibility and Education Network, which is A THING), “A lot of people feel broken before they find a label and a community to go with it.”

In case you happen to find yourself in the company of one of these broken-feeling people, the sourcelink lists 12 different sexual and romantic identities that they want you to know.  I’m only listing the ones that are completely new to me, because I can’t stop laughing at them.

Graysexual – a “magical place between asexual and someone who is sexual.” In other words, sexually fluid.  Which sounds grosser than it needs to.

Lithromantic – a “person who experiences romantic love but does not want their feelings to be reciprocated.”  In other words, masochistic.

Skoliosexual – “sexual attraction to non-binary identified individuals or those who don’t identify as cisgender.”   I have read that definition like 8 times now and I still can’t understand it.  And honestly, I’m kind of proud of myself for that.

Now, you’re going to think I’m making this last one up, but I swear it’s listed in the sourcelink, you guys.  Are you ready for this jelly?

Zucchini – “The name for a partner who is involved in a queerplatonic relationship, as in ‘he’s my zucchini.'”

Aaaaand this is why I don’t take this crap seriously.

But other people do, y’all.  So you might as well be armed with the information.
