The Anattractional Spectrum combines all a-spec identities into one, as someone can be in at least one spectrum: asensual (asen-spec), aplatonic (apl-spec), aromantic (aro-spec), asexual (ace-spec), aroace (aroace-spec), asocial, ansthetic (ae-spec), aqueerplatonic (aqp-spec), analterous (analt-spec), etc. The anattractional spectrum is sometimes referred to as aspec. A*-spec, or a*spec is a German variation, of which can include agender and/or autistic individuals.[1][2][3] The asterisk is often used in queer German terminology as a form of gender-appropriate language that includes all genders or variations.[4]
Flags
On Tumblr account ask-pride-color-schemes, Mod Loki designed the primary anattractional spectrum flag on January 15th, 2018.[5] On Tumblr account ask-pride-color-schemes, Mod Hermy designed the alternate flag on January 16th, 2018.[6] The colour meaning of both flags is they are all the "a-" flags put together (asexual, aromantic, analterous, asensual, aqueerplatonic, aplatonic, ansthetic).[7]
