Ususexual is a sexual modifier in which ones sexual attraction is effected by or limited by relation to an individual's life experiences. This could be a specific life experience, or it could be their life in general. Ones attraction may fade or lessen if they do not relate to certain aspects of someone's life, or one may not even feel attracted to an individual at all until they know they relate to specific aspects of one's life.
In most cases, this modifier falls under the ace-spec umbrella, since ones attraction is limited to ones experiences. They may or may not also identify as aliquasexual.
This term may also be used as a modifier for other forms of attraction, such as usuromantic, usuplatonic, usualterous, etc.
Usugendre
Usugendre is a subset of ususexual in which ones attraction is limited by or effected by an individuals experience with gender. For example, a transine individual may find attraction impossible or difficult to a cisgender individual and/or a transgender individual who wishes to have sex reassignment surgery. Other examples may include a transfeminine lesbian who only finds attraction to other transfeminine individuals, and cannot find attraction to a cisgender woman, or vice-versa. Transgender usugendre people may also identify as TLT as a result.
This is due to one finding gender to be an extremely important part of their own life experiences, and possibly finds gender to be the most important aspect of their identity or self. From this, they desire someone who they can fully relate to when it comes to gender, hence why attraction to those with unfamiliar gender experiences causes lesser or no attraction.
