I can't say whether the severity of your problems matched the severity of mine, and whether my dropping out was justified. Yeah, same here. I must have stolen the phrase from her. <br /> <br />Yes, your definition of panromantic asexual is correct. I don't experience sexual attraction, but I do experience an appreciation for beauty in people of all genders, and have a moderate desire for a non-sexual relationship with people regardless of their gender. I'm not entirely sure what you are asking - if its whether calling myself bisexual is sending mixed signals, or whether the term itself is contradictory. <br /> <br />I call myself bisexual to the cisgendered straight community because I<span style="font-style: italic"> am</span> romantically attracted to people regardless of gender, therefor opening myself to a non-sexual relationship with anyone. I didn't say 'pansexual' because I would have had to explain the inclusiveness of transgender people in that, and I feel uncomfortable talking about trans people because I may let slip that I'm trans by being too knowledgeable. And I don't say biromantic asexual because people seem to misunderstand asexuality more than they do non-heterosexual sexual orientations. <br /> <br />The term itself isn't contradictory because of a distinction between sexual attraction and romantic attraction. If you're interested, I'll let you google it because I think it was the above you were asking about. <br /> <br />On the subject of why I didn't ask him about it, it was because I left, put simply. I also don't know if he was just passing it on, or if it was from him. <br /> <br />@crazycatlord +@thesunalsorises <br /> <br />Hmm. He has a girlfriend. I think if it was him, he would have asked me not to say anything about it...</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Cornflake</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2012 10:22 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">[Moved from General Autism Discussion to LGBT Discussion]</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Phonic</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2012 10:12 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">lol? <br /> <br />You should find this guy, could bring a lot of happiness into your life.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>TheSunAlsoRises</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2012 10:05 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">LoL. <br /> <br /> <br /><object width="660" height="405"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pIgZ7gMze7A"></param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pIgZ7gMze7A&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="660" height="405"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=pIgZ7gMze7A&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=0" target="_blank"></a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold">TheSunAlsoRises</span></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>ghostar</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2012 9:37 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I agree with CrazyCatLord.
