Just like a mental double check

So for the last 2-3 years I've identified as a pansexual demiromantic demisexual as this is how my brain works:

Sex with someone I don't know is a no go it makes me feel wrong and I can't see myself doing that with a random person

Anyone I've ever wanted to have sex with I've known pretty well and the one exception I knew him for months prior

I don't like people and am generally dense when it comes to people flirting with me and no one I've ever been romanticly interested in I've known for at a bare minimum 2 months

Part of the reason I think of this is because when I did my minor amount of research everything lead back to these terms. Of course I never consulted another person and just did what felt right as that's what I've always done. Nothing has given me a reason to change my mind rather it has reinforced it the more people I date so I guess it's more just me making sure I'm using the right terms. On the pansexual part idc what you identify as if I like you I like you. Girls, guys, trans, cis, non binary, gender fluid, I've literally dated all that I just listed. I know it probably doesn't matter in this sense but people are nosey and idc

Obviously friendships can work without romance, but do you think romance can work without friendship?

Saying that you've turned asexual is really problematic.

You cannot become a sexuality because it's not a choice, what can happen is that you've had a realization of what your sexuality is because you've done the self discovery and you now know who you are. I don't think people realize how dangerous saying that you've 'turned ace' is because with that logic you can turn yourself straight and this can be applied to gays, lesbian and trans people ect. This is also the same logic that's used in conversation therapy. It is that deep and it's not something that's okay to say. I understand that some people after going on hrt they might discover that they identify with a different kind of sexuality and that's okay but hormones can't change yourself sexuality. Years ago they used hormones and medications fix queer people . As for victims of abuse I know that there is another term for not wanting engage in sex because of tramua and using asexuality as a label just to not explain yourself to random people and that's completely fine.
