Is being Ace kind of like how I don't feel sexual attraction to women but can still think they are attractive, pretty, aesthetically pleasing etc.?
Title. Hi everyone :) I'm a gay allo. I'm very sexually attracted to men, and have absolutely no desire for any kind of sexual activities with women. However, sometimes I can see a woman who I think looks really pretty, or something about their look that day is just like, "wow! You look great today!" despite having no desire to be with them in a sexual way. Is this for the most part how you guys feel for everyone (or most people)?
Edit: not sure if the phrasing could be better, but essentially I'm just asking if being Ace could be described as "similar to how a gay man feels about women, except for everyone"?
i.e. a gay man feels no sexual attraction to women.
Likewise, an Ace person feels no sexual attraction towards anyone.

I don't know what to do with my ring anymore now that I know I'm not asexual.

As a 13 year old myself, is it okay to call yourself ace even during/before puberty
I'm 13 and have numerous experiences where people have said I'm not really ace since I'm so young, is this true?

it’s literally so fucking annoying when someone says aro/ace isn’t lgbt
i had this lovely girl pop up on my fyp on tiktok and she was talking about asexuality and how it’s a spectrum and i checked out some of her other videos and she said she considers herself queer since she’s ace and asexuality is a sexual minority and there’s people in the comments saying she isn’t and invalidating her identity.
and this person i’m arguing with is saying that my acceptance is tied into if the sexuality is accepted into the lgbt community when it’s not all i’m saying is that this person is being an exclusionist and acting like aces/aros don’t face oppression in relationships or from family and that they arent a sexual/romantic minority.
and it’s just like everyone is being a fucking asshole to this girl and she’s being really sweet about everything she even said that some cishet aro and aces don’t consider themselves queer while some do and she also mentioned that the A in lgbtqia stands for ace, aro, and agender, and people are being assholes to her and it’s coming form lgbt people and it’s really fucking annoying.
like this dude i’m arguing with even said that just because their initial is apart of the lgbt extension (ext being the qia) doesn’t make them queer, like wtf, you can apply that logic to intersex, pansexuals, and non-binary people cuz some of the extensions to lgbt that are around do have Ps and and Ns in them.
like??? idk it’s pissing me off that so many lgbt people are exclusionists and how they’re being so mean to this girl when she’s been so sweet about everything.

Why do some people exclude Asexuals because they “dont experience discrimination”
What is this, the discrimination olympics?
