Might be a good time for an #introduction!

I'm #autistic and #ADHD. I'm a cis male, but I go by they/them pronouns because pronouns are cool and I support the cause! And, well, manly culture kinda sucks, anyway. I'm #demisexual.

I work in tech, which is meh, but I apply those skills for #FOSS work and #cat volunteering in my free time. I have a cat, and I currently house a cat family of 3.

I enjoy #anime and #manga, and enjoy good literary analysis. Writing #MHA "fix-it" fic, currently enjoying #kagurabachi.

I enjoy games! I'm big on #PathOfExile, #LastEpoch and #Warframe. Really need to finish my #persona3 playthrough, though...

I own a #bass, but it currently collects dust as I'm dealing with stuff. I like #coffee and #beer.

Happy #InternationalAsexualDay to all #Ace and #AceSpec folks who celebrate. We are #Demisexual which means we are *only* sexually attracted to those who we have a strong emotional connection to.

Hope y'all have a happy day!

Happy international asexuality day! And that of course incudes greyaces, demisexuals, aroaces, and any other microlabels

Who else identifies as #demisexual ?

I was a bit confused by the difference between #pansexual and #demisexual so I decided to actually look it up because I sorta use them interchangeably with myself.

Turns out that is entirely valid. I am BOTH.

Pansexual - Attracted to all genders, which indeed. I don't even care if you have one. I don't really care if I have one.

Demisexual - Attraction after emotional connection is formed. Also applies to me.

Today I learned you can have TWO sexualities.

Hi! I am a #demisexual passive #switch with a big passion for men with a #servicekink, #dominant or #submissive, and a little passion for other genders.
My languages are German and English.

I hear pinning an #introduction post is the thing to do around here so here we go.
Hi, I’m Kaitlyn (she/her). I’m a stay at home mom to a toddler, living in Colorado with my wife. I am cis but heavily immersed in #trans issues as my wife is trans. I’m a bit of a #history and #psychology nerd, and use my free time #sewing clothes for myself and playing cozy #VideoGames like Power Wash Simulator and Sea of Thieves (sounds less cozy, I know, but I pride myself on my ship parking skills). I used to work (read: hold a volunteer position) in the local #greyhounds community and before that was an English teacher. I am undiagnosed but probably #audhd, as well as #demisexual (shall we say #lesbian presenting?). I am currently involved in my local #QueerChurch and love reading about #QueerTheology (but hate arguing for it). My preferred online engagement can probably be summed up best as “people watching” so don’t mind me, stealthily scrolling past your posts, slowly growing my parasocial relationship with you in secret

New account, so new #introduction. Let's do it again!

I have a #MastersDegree in #ComputerScience and #ComputerEngineering. I went to #NMU for undergrad and #MSU for my graduate degree. I currently work at #UChicago for the #TMWCenter, which focuses on helping young children acquire language (and therefore other learning skills) faster.

In my spare time, I develop #OpenSourceSoftware such as
- a #SphinxDoc extension that embed #Fediverse comments on your page
- a library to talk to #ManifoldMarkets from native #Python
- a #PredictionMarket manager using the above
- a #transpiler from a subset of Python to #OpenStreetMaps's #OverpassQL
- bug fixes to many other projects, including #mypy, #base58, #attrs, #CPython, & more

I spend a fair bit of my time these days on #MathResearch, specifically into the #ThueMorse Sequence and its extensions.

I'm also a hobbyist editor on OpenStreetMap.

#Demisexual, #transfem, and happily engaged to my #enby sweetheart.

We have two cats: #OpheTheLoaf and #MayalaranTheCat (yes, from #StormlightArchive) See here for more on them!

I speak English fluently, Spanish haltingly, and am trying to learn Chinese

#queer #Chicago

RETIRING SOON!

Once these are gone, they are gone! In order to freshen up my store and make room for new products I am retiring some of my old clothing.

Own a unique piece of clothing before it's too late!

I have been reminded that it is that day again, so happy Valentines Day to all my aromantic, asexual, demisexual, gray ace, and similar friends and acquaintances in the Fediverse, as well as anyone who has ever filled out a form with a field for "Sex" and been tempted to write in "No thank you."

Introduction Post (i guess technically a reintroduction formerly @GrandUpperEX@pixelfed.social & @GrandUpperEX@tech.lgbt)
Hi i'm John a 30 something demisexual gay dude, i'm into gaming, linux, movies, music, gundam, lego & graphic novels.

I went on a #date with a boy for the first time today and I liked it.

Maybe he's a boy. He's sassy, and he's #beautiful and I thought they were a girl at first but who cares, and they prefer they.

They gave me goosebumps when they said I was handsome.

I left with their number after we talked on a train.

I felt like a teenager when we got coffee, and I felt butterflies when they kissed me.

It's really simple for me.

I just want #love

Me llamo Joss, soy una persona nobinaria, bi y del espectro ace. Soy activista #LGBTQIA+ y feminista. Vivo en Tenerife (Islas Canarias)

Quiero conectar con personas #LGBTQIA+ sobre todo personas del espectro asexual.

Soy nobinaria, bi y grisasexual. Me identifico mucho con el término 'queer'.

So apparantly Demisexuality is a lot more nuanced than I thought

How many things am I going to hear about that I had assumed were everyone's lived experience just to find out it's mine aha.

I used to believe gender wasn't important and wondered what the big deal was. Turns out I was Enby and a lot of people actually identify with a binary gender in a way I don't.

And here I am now discovering what Demisexual means... Welp, you learn new things all the time I guess

New server, new intro!

Moved to a new instance, since my old is shutting down. Checked out Mastodon when Twitter became a Nazi hellsite and have been enjoying it ever since. This instance is mostly for me to explore polyamory and explore more of my sexual side. I'm demi by nature but enjoy learning about what others are into.

#polyamory
#cnm #enm
#demisexual

actually, I'd be very interested if anybody had recs for a Demisexuality 101/201-level introduction (preferably in video or podcast format) that you personally enjoyed? Particularly things aimed at people who might be on the ace spectrum somewhere but don't know much about it?

This is a request for resources you or people you know personally found interesting/helpful in this area, not a "please google this for me" request, thank you

Please help @SabiLewSounds & I start our lives together
