it’s funny how sexual orientations get shortened to the prefix with the word “sexual” removed. like you hear people saying that someone is hetero or homo. Or bi. But you don’t hear asexual people get called “a,” not very often anyways

of all the orientations you’d expect to remove all of the “sexual” from their name, nope, “asexual” hangs onto that beginning S sound and gets “ace”

which linguistically makes tons of sense! “A” is much too short and ambiguous and confusing a thing to be called. “Ace” has other meanings but just enough for some fun puns, not enough to make communication a chore every time you say it. A+ abbreviation job, aces

in other news i wanna call my pansexual self “pants.” i get into all the pants. So many pants. Everyone’s pants

I also wear pants. I’m a sweet pantsvestite…. from pansexual…. pannsylvania.

Idk i just woke up
