allo-sexual sounds a bit like being attracted to curious french greetings to me lolol I think that this will help me remember the concept. I feel like people attracted to those with foreign accents might even fit such a category in some cases unless I am misunderstanding the concept completely still which seems very plausible to me also since I haven’t even looked up any info on the term yet

https://www.asexuality.org/?q=attitudes.html this array of possible dispositions (in the Combinations of Attitudes section of that page) towards the general ideas of inclusion/openness also seems like a somewhat useful way of considering more possible manifestations of varying attitudes towards such matters

Oh yes, absolutely. We were aware of AVEN since we are ace-spec but not this page specifically. Thanks so much for sharing!

Allonormativity is a concept I now know to look out for. Time to add it to my growing list of normativities to dismantle, avoid, address, etc.
