Questian, also called A?, means one does not know their sexuality/romantic orientation due to their place in the ace/aro spectrum.
They may have narrowed down what their attraction is, but not fully.
One may be questian because they:
- haven’t met enough of that/those gender(s) to know if they like that/those gender(s)
- don’t know if they do or don’t understand romantic/sexual attraction
- are demiromantic or demisexual and never having a long enough connection with someone of that/those gender(s) to know if you’re attracted to that/those gender(s)
This is exclusive to those who are ace-spec and/or aro-spec. One does not have to know their exact identity, as long as they know they are a-spec and believe it is affecting their ability to figure out their attraction. One might also be questioning and/or quoi- in addition to being questian.
Subsets
- Expeditian is when they are actively trying to find out what their true romantic/sexual attraction is (expedition is being on a quest to find more knowledge)
- Journian is when they need/want to find what true romantic/sexual attraction is, but understand it might take more time for them, so they don't actively seek it out (journey means to be on a quest where the trip is more important then the destination)
- Wanderian is when you don't need/want to find their true romantic/sexual attraction is (wandering is traveling without destination)
These subsets make it easier to tell how the individual feels about their connection to their true romantic/sexual attraction and their being questian. They can identify as a sub-label, but they don't have to.
History
The term was originally coined June 9th, 2021, on an Amino! post[1] by the user Story the Cat, and then updated on a FANDOM post[2] by the same individual on the account IAmArtemisTheCat on October 10th, 2021, adding the subsets and elaborating the sexuality further.
