Abrisexual

LGBTQ-alphabet, Lists

Abrisexual is an orientation that describes individuals whose sexual orientation is stable, but the labels they use to describe it change over time. The term emphasizes the fluidity of how someone identifies rather than changes in the attraction itself. While abrisexual people may consistently feel the same type of attraction, they might alternate between labels like bisexual, pansexual, or queer as they explore which term resonates best with them at different times. This identity acknowledges the evolving nature of how individuals perceive and express their orientation without altering their core attractions.

Alex identifies as abrisexual. They’ve always known that they feel attraction toward multiple genders, but they’ve found that their preferred labels shift over time. Last year, Alex felt that “pansexual” best described their orientation, as it captured their attraction to people regardless of gender. However, recently, they’ve felt more aligned with the label “bisexual,” appreciating its history and community. This change isn’t about a shift in who Alex is attracted to; rather, it’s about how they choose to express and understand their identity. One evening, a friend asked Alex about their orientation, and Alex explained, “I’m abrisexual, so while my attractions don’t change, the way I label them does. It’s like finding the best way to describe a familiar feeling.” For Alex, this fluidity in labels brings a sense of freedom, allowing them to adapt their expression of identity as they grow and learn more about themselves. It’s a journey of self-exploration where the stability of their attraction remains constant, but the words they use can shift, reflecting how they feel most comfortable at any given time.
