I think I should talk about this...because I might be the only one doing so

I was just adding interests to my profile and all of them were hotlinked except one: apressexual. I know it is not a common orientation label, that is mostly why I use grey-A, because generally I am only willing to give people the definition rather than explain very personal experiences to strangers. Sure, if you are really interested I'm sure my 'What could I be?' posts on AVEN are still around which explain my experience in some detail surrounded by too-much-information and trigger warnings.

Also trying to divide up my attractions in the little boxes people want me to do to 'justify' my choice of label is super painful, and also really rude. Those people were bullies, but I wasn't informed enough at the time about the concepts in the a-spec community spaces to think there was another way.

But the point I want to focus on for this post is, am I really the only one?
Surely not! I say. There is a word and a flag and a flag made out of the word! So someone must have made the word for a reason, and there must have been demand for a flag....right? right?! or was this word I identify as coined as some literary exercise in theoreticals and the flag created because someone wanted to pretend they were doing something useful when they got bored and decided to play on MS Paint?
( I know what I will do, I will use the mighty search engines to find the others! )
