Quoialterous (also called WTFalterous, whatalterous, quoialt, WTFalt, or whatalt) is the alterous equivalent of quoisexual/quoiromantic.
Quoialterous experiences may include:
- Being unsure what alterous attraction is, and therefore being unsure if one has experienced it or not.
- Finding the concept of alterous attraction to be inaccessible, inapplicable, or nonsensical.
- Being unable to understand alterous attraction as a concept or feeling.
- Disidentifying with the concept of alterous attraction - either as a social construct or as something potentially applicable to oneself.
- Questioning whether or not one is alterous for such a long time that the questioning itself becomes the identity, rather than a path toward any other more stable identity.
- Being unable to distinguish between alterous attraction and other forms of attraction.
This term is most often used by a-spec individuals, though anyone can use it.
