We Exist

Location

Hi

I'm demisexual

Yes, you read that right. Demisexual. It's not a typo. 

It means I have secondary attraction

but not primary attraction.

It's on the asexual spectrum.

If you want to know anymore there's this thing called Google.

 

"I've never heard of that. Are you sure it's real?"
It's as real as my desire to punch you in the face right now.

 

When you were little you'd never heard of gravity,

but that's real.

Yes, I am out of this world, but I still live on it. 

 

Don't say that demisexuals don't exist.

That it's not a real thing.

Because it is. 

The same for asexuals.

Polysexuals.

Pansexuals.

Just because you've never heard of it

doesn't mean it's not real. 

I'm sure you've never heard of a lot of things. 

But telling me I don't know my own sexuality hurts.

 

Just like feeling like a freak because I never felt I fit into one of the sexualityes,

when our socioty values sexuality so highly,

HURT. 

 

So yes, hello, we exist.
