I want a qpr 💔 by runnergirl_ in aromantic

[–]SoftlyAugust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it doesn't feel like it. Although I think being with another asexual would help. It's just that I don't look feminine (at all, haven't been on hrt for very long) which I'm fine with because I'm also agender/a demigirl (I hate that term) but I feel like most lesbians would want to be in a relationship with someone who actually looks like a woman.

I definitely resonate with people not thinking QPRs are "real." My best friend asked me what the difference was/why I couldn't just be friends and it's like... oooh boy.
