Hi Psych2Goers, we're exploring two often misunderstood identities, asexuality and aromanticism.

嗨，Psych2Goers，我們正在探討兩種經常被誤解的身份--無性戀和芳香癖。

There's more to attraction than just romance or sex, and these identities help us understand human attraction and relationships.

吸引力不僅僅是浪漫或性，這些特性有助於我們理解人類的吸引力和人際關係。

To start off, asexuality and aromanticism are of course valid orientations.

首先，無性癖和芳香癖當然是有效的取向。

Asexuality is recognized as a valid sexual orientation characterized by little to no sexual attraction to others.

無性戀被認為是一種有效的性取向，其特點是對他人幾乎沒有性吸引力。

It's distinct from celibacy, which is a choice to abstain from sexual activity.

它有別於獨身主義，後者是一種禁慾的選擇。

Research from the University of British Columbia confirms that asexuality is not a psychiatric condition or sexual disorder.

不列顛哥倫比亞大學的研究證實，無性並不是一種精神疾病或性障礙。

Similarly, aromanticism refers to experiencing little to no romantic attraction.

同樣，芳香躁狂症指的是幾乎沒有浪漫的吸引力。

While research on aromanticism is still emerging, organizations like ARIA are compiling studies to better understand this identity.

雖然對芳香族的研究仍在起步階段，但 ARIA 等組織正在編制研究報告，以便更好地瞭解這種身份。

Both asexuality and aromanticism exist on spectrums.

無性癖和芳香癖都存在於光譜中。

Demisexual, for example, is a micro-label under the asexual umbrella.

例如，"雙性人"（Demisexual）是無性人旗下的一個微型標籤。

It describes someone who only experiences sexual attraction after forming a strong emotional bond.

它描述的是一個人只有在建立了牢固的情感紐帶後才會產生性吸引力。

These micro-labels help people describe their experiences more precisely.

這些微標籤可以幫助人們更準確地描述自己的經歷。

A study comparing romantic and aromantic asexual individuals found diverse experiences and emphasized the importance of recognizing this spectrum.

一項比較浪漫型無性戀和芳香型無性戀的研究發現了不同的經歷，並強調了認識這一譜系的重要性。

It is not a result of trauma or dysfunction.

它不是創傷或功能障礙的結果。

A common misconception is that asexuality or aromanticism stems from trauma or dysfunction.

一個常見的誤解是，無性癖或芳香癖源於創傷或功能障礙。

However, studies indicate that in most cases, orientations are inherent aspects of an individual's identity.

然而，研究表明，在大多數情況下，取向是個人身份的固有方面。

For example, research has shown that asexual individuals often identify as such early in life, and this identity remains consistent over time.

例如，研究表明，無性戀者往往在生命早期就認定自己是無性戀者，而且這種認定會隨著時間的推移而保持一致。

然而，建立聯繫的願望依然存在。

Asexual or aromantic people still value deep connection.

無性戀或芳香戀的人仍然重視深層次的聯繫。

Many build strong friendships, close family bonds, and meaningful relationships, just not always in the way society expects.

許多人建立了深厚的友誼、親密的家庭紐帶和有意義的人際關係，只是並不總是以社會期望的方式。

A Michigan State University study found that asexual relationships thrive on the same foundations as any other—trust, communication, and commitment.

密歇根州立大學的一項研究發現，無性人際關係的發展基礎與其他人際關係相同--信任、溝通和承諾。

At the end of the day, everyone's needs and connections are different.

歸根結底，每個人的需求和聯繫都是不同的。

Whether someone wants romance, friendship, or none of the above, their experience is valid.

無論一個人想要浪漫、友誼，還是以上都不想要，他們的經歷都是有效的。

Saying things like, oh, you just haven't met the right person can feel dismissive.

說 "哦，你只是沒有遇到合適的人 "之類的話，會讓人覺得很輕蔑。

These comments suggest someone's identity is just a phase or a problem to fix, when in reality, it's a valid orientation that deserves respect.

這些評論暗示某人的身份只是一個階段或一個需要解決的問題，而實際上，這是一種值得尊重的有效取向。

Recognizing and respecting these orientations is crucial for fostering inclusive environments.

承認和尊重這些取向對於營造全納環境至關重要。

Media representation of asexual and aromantic individuals is limited.

媒體對無性戀者和芳香戀者的報道十分有限。

A 2023 report highlighted that 39% of respondents wish to see more aromantic and or asexual characters in the media they consume.

2023 年的一份報告強調，39% 的受訪者希望在他們消費的媒體中看到更多的芳香族或無性戀角色。

Positive representation can lead to greater understanding and acceptance.

積極的表述可以讓人們更加理解和接受。

It's okay if you can't fully grasp what it means to be asexual or aromantic.

如果你不能完全理解無性戀或芳香戀的含義，也沒關係。

The key is to approach these identities with respect and an open mind.

關鍵是要以尊重和開放的心態對待這些身份。

Listening and validating people's experiences can make a significant difference.

傾聽和確認人們的經歷會產生重大影響。

Understanding asexuality and aromanticism enriches our comprehension of human diversity.

瞭解無性戀和芳香戀可以豐富我們對人類多樣性的理解。

So let's continue to learn, respect, and support one another in our unique journeys.

是以，讓我們在各自獨特的人生旅途中繼續相互學習、相互尊重、相互支持。
