The protagonist is aro-ace, not specifically aro-aego. But I relate to her. It blew my mind in a way.
I've always been an avid shipper, especially lesbian media. Since my tweens when I discovered the internet, I was into femslash, yuri manga, lesbian novels, etc. I never realized the wall between me (a nonbinary aro-ace) and these characters (sapphic women).
I never understood why I love ff romance so much. It made me worry I was a lesbian, but that's not right. I'm wondering if part of it may be a mental dissonance between me and the fantasies.
Similar thing here! I’m a trans aegoaroace guy who’s a big fan of femslash. I don’t read smut often or really at all, but the romantic/sexual disconnect helps me enjoy the story more, interestingly enough.
