One may be questian because they: |
|
*you have to be '''*either*''' aro-spec, ace-spec, or both |
|
|
|
|
|
|
⚫ |
*haven’t met enough of that/those gender(s) to know if they like that/those gender(s) |
|
*you do not have to know what your identity is on the aro/ace spectrum, as long as you know that you are part of the aro/ace spectrum and you believe it is affecting your ability to find out your romantic/sexual attraction |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*don’t know if they do or don’t understand romantic/sexual attraction |
|
*You don't necessarily need to know your identity on the aro/ace spectrum, you only need to know you are on there somewhere and it effects your inability to find your 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) |
|
*You might have your romantic/sexual attraction narrowed down, but can choose one or the other due to not knowing if you're attracted to certain gender(s) (example: not knowing if you're trixic or trixen becuase you're unsure if you like non-binary people) |

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. |
|
*You can be questioning and/or quio- in addition to being unknowing |

*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)'' |
| ⚫ |
* you haven’t met enough of those gender(s) to know if you like those gender(s) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
*you don’t know if you do or don’t understand romantic/sexual attraction |
|
*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. |
