Thanks to Izzyexile for the help with identifying the gentleperson in Pink.
In any case, my flags are:
* Foot fetish (the large one) this is my primary ID, whether or not the LGBTQIA+ community accepts it as valid or not. I’ve known since first grade that I’m attracted to womens’ feet. I was also diagnosed with dyslexia at the same age, but “neurodiversity” was not at thing. Also, fetishism was, at that time, considered a mental illness — kind of like other non-normy IDs.
...and from top on the smaller sign:
* Greyromantic -- on the aromantic spectrum, but capable of romance occasionally, and under certain circumstances
* Nebularomantic -- difficulty differentiating between romantic and platonic love and understanding romantic love; reserved for neurodivergent folks
* Neurodiverse/Neurodivergent -- in my case, dyslexia, atypical ADHD and migraines. There also appears to be a strong correlation between neurodivergent people and kink/fetishes.
I’ve been made to feel incredibly small about all of these, especially my foot fetish — by multiple people who claimed to love me, including intimate partners, and been referred to therapy to be “cured” — guess what? I, too, was born this way, and, to their credit, the therapists eventually acknowledged this.
