Aroacegender, or acearogender, is a gender identity that is connected to or strongly influenced by being aroace (aromantic/aro-spec and asexual/ace-spec). It combines elements of both arogender and acegender. This identity can stand alone or be used alongside another gender to indicate that one’s experience of that gender is significantly shaped by their aroace identity. For instance, someone could identify as an aroacegender demiboy. The influence can manifest in various ways, such as feeling disconnected from societal gender expectations due to amatonormative norms or having a unique experience of gender shaped by one’s aromantic and asexual identity.

Emilia always felt like her identity was multifaceted and intertwined with how she navigated her relationships. Identifying as both aromantic and asexual, Emilia noticed that these parts of her identity also influenced how she experienced her gender. She described herself as aroacegender, finding that being aroace played a significant role in how she viewed her gender identity. She often explained, “I feel like a woman, but not in the traditional sense. My aroace identity changes how I connect with my femininity and what it means for me.” One day, when a friend asked her to explain what she meant by aroacegender, Emilia said, “It’s like being a woman, but not defined by the romantic and sexual norms that usually come with it. My gender is filtered through my experience of being aromantic and asexual.” Embracing aroacegender allowed Emilia to better articulate the nuances of her identity and connect with others who felt similarly. This realization gave her a sense of belonging and clarity, helping her stand confident in a society that often tied gender to romantic and sexual roles.
