Introduction

According to the Ecology Global Network there are approximately 360,000 births per day in this world. When someone is born in a hospital one of the first things the doctors do is assign the child a sex based off of the biological parts present. From there the rest of the world takes over in making assumptions about the child’s gender based off of the assigned sex. As Sam Killerman said in The Social Justice Advocate’s Handbook: A Guide to Gender, “Gender identity is our internal response to a social construction that attempts to make a connection between a person’s biological makeup and their eventual role in society.” Gender is a socially constructed idea and often in this society it is assumed that one’s gender matches their assigned sex, or it is assumed that both of the previous match up with the individual’s gender expression. From there people also assume that one’s sexual or romantic orientations fit into neat normative boxes that coincide with gender expression and identity, and sex. In actuality though, these assumptions just are not reliable. With 360,000 births a day there will be some babies that are not born just male or female, there will be some babies that don’t identify as men or women, and there will be some babies that are not attracted to the opposite sex. The goal of this blog is to define and discuss a few of the many identities and orientations that people possess and to show that as a society we simplify topics we should not. There is beauty in diversity, so let’s shine a light upon it.

Fraysexual


Individuals who identify as fraysexual/romantic are only romantically and/or sexually attracted to someone they are less familiar with. They lose interest when they get to know the person more. The flag has 4 strips. The blue and Cyan (a shade of greenish-blue) represent a less familiar relationship with other people. The white represents a lack of attraction and the grey represents a grey-area or confusion when with fraysexual/romantic feelings. The prefix fray comes from the Olde English word for stranger. Fraysexual/romantic is another identity to help individuals understand how they are feeling and though there is not much information on this identity it is a valid way for an individual to identify.

    Don’t be an arsehole Aiza. Just because you don’t experience this doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Maybe in your context you could say the same of empathy, or intelligence lol.

    I found in life before my Christian conversion this mainly happens when people don't wait to be connected to the right person and they act upon impulses and deep rooted fear to make relationships work with the wrong person and have a temporary romantic interest that don't last because they are looking for love through sexual satisfaction when the sex happens 9 times out of 10 in the early stages of the relationship and they find they can't love the person and thought sex would be the glue that fills the void and it does not then they are off to another person. In addition if this type of persons don't get spiritual help an turn to God and seek therapy they will become an sexual addict and live a life of bad broken relationships playing the victim and searching for love in all the wrong places. I know from experience but thank God for Jesus and his redeeming power. This is not something that occur with just men or denoted to men only. Furthermore I stumbled across a whole list of these different types of gender list and psychological terminologies and for everyone of them there is a biblical definition that describes the condition at the root of the problem. One is flesh and the other deals with the inner soul of man. For example Autosexual in psychology is described as a person who finds pleasure in having sex with themselves that is the same thing as masturbation. Hope this feedback helps someone

    Thanks

    This definition would be more complete if it explains that often the romsntic portion of the relationship persists; it is just sexual desire than wanes with familiarity.
