40ish, ae/aer, not especially interesting.
Mine was trying to do Hey Jude before I realized that didn't have enough na's.

I posted more on depth on this here regarding asexual representation vs the ever present sexless heroine in fiction.

I used to say this on the old site and it's time to say it here:

Heroine in fiction that never has romance, never feels desire is not inherently feminist. It's not aromantic or asexual* representation.

It's just an old, tired way of creating female characters "safe" for guys to watch 1/2

Huh. I'm not autistic but keep getting told I have some similar traits, and yeah, I'm pretty much completely incapable of feeling anything about people dying per se. Always figured it was the effect of decades in a headspace where I envied the dead too much to be sad, but it might just be a thing?

There might be another name for this but I think of it as the Socrates fallacy because this was basically his method -- we have a word, so let's clarify the definition so that we can correctly identify the real thing in the world that it names.

Just b/c history has given us these two words doesn't mean that speculative literature naturally falls into two distinct categories that can be correctly labeled with these words. Likewise attraction to more than one gender doesn't necessarily come in two distinct forms just b/c we have two words.

There's an omegaverse joke in here somewhere.
