Just thinking about that time an editor gave me, an asexual person, workshop notes on writing sexual attraction.

These notes declared, with formatting for emphasis, that without sexual attraction there can be no romance.

Folk be saying all kinds of weird things

mimimerlot.bsky.social•127 days ago

They certainly do!

Guess I'll let my spouse know that because I don't feel this weird magical feeling that I'm not entirely convinced actually exists ( 😉 ) that we don't experience romance.

HAH! You go get 'em, while that editor wishes they had even half of what you have ✨

Oh. Dear.
I wonder if @tallsquall.bsky.social had a similar experience?

tallsquall.bsky.social•127 days ago

Ugh! I haven’t had a similar encounter from an editor, but instead face to face re: DMing.

It is such a prevalent attitude.

mimimerlot.bsky.social•127 days ago

It really is. It is frustrating. When it happens I have to go into an explanation of how there are 6 types of attraction, actually. Alas, I fear most people just think of it as a rant.

That's so... I feel sorry for anybody that editor thinks they are romancing.
