I've talked in the past about feeling alienated from the queer community, and also more granularly, like from the lesbian community specifically as well, just not really feeling like I relate to most other people in those groups, yknow? well, I finally figured out I was looking in the wrong place
I've figured out that the identity I most strongly relate with and feel a sense of community with is being asexual, like, I read posts from other ace people and I feel like I really understand them, I finally actually feel that sense of community
the next closest thing for me like that is polyamory, though for me polyamory is just sort of a consequence of my aroace-ishness, so my relationships are kind of non-standard even among polyamorous people lol
so yeah, finding and jumping more into the ace community has been really nice and has helped me find that sense of place and connection that I see other people find in the larger queer community :)
