Aroace Agender, also known as AAA, Triple A, AAA-spec, or A³, is an identity that represents a combination of being on the aromantic spectrum (aro), asexual spectrum (ace), and agiagender spectrum. Individuals who identify as aroace agender may feel that they relate to all three spectrums in varying degrees. This identity encompasses the absence of romantic and sexual attraction, as well as a detachment or neutrality toward gender. It is a holistic way to express how these aspects intersect in an individual’s experience.
Valeria always felt different when it came to discussions about relationships and gender. While friends were busy dating and defining their romantic identities, Valeria realized they felt no pull toward romance or sexual attraction. Additionally, any conversation about gender left Valeria feeling indifferent. One evening, after joining an online forum, Valeria came across the term aroace agender. It was like putting a name to a feeling they had carried their whole life. “I’m not just one of these identities, but all three,” Valeria thought, finally understanding that their experiences of being aromantic, asexual, and agender could coexist in a unified identity. Sharing this newfound term with their friend Sofia, Valeria explained, “It’s like being Triple A: I don’t feel romantic or sexual attraction, and gender just doesn’t resonate with me either.” Sofia, who had watched Valeria navigate their identity journey, smiled and said, “That makes perfect sense for you.” Embracing aroace agender helped Valeria find peace in their unique combination of identities, knowing there was a community of others who felt the same. This recognition allowed them to communicate their identity clearly, advocating for understanding and representation without the need to conform to conventional expectations.
