u/Forward-Entry-544

hi everyone, I was diagnosed 4 days ago and I am starting treatment today

sometimes my neck and jaw hurt, but I’m not sure if I can alleviate the pain by applying heat, cold, or if I should just endure it and leave it be

thanks in advance!

This has been my pet peeve for the past 5 years, but I really dislike the name "aroace"

Every other big label has a short impactful name/abbreviation (gay, bi, pan, trans, etc), while we get a 3 syllable non-abbreviable title

To me it's a big deal, it's harder to teach to others and leave impressed in their minds, it's harder to joke about it, I often use ace and aroace interchangeably because I dislike the long name so much (not because I think they're the same thing)

Soooo, any ideas? After learning about the term "aegorose" from u/Buff_fateweaver I realized rose is a perfect abbreviation (aROmantic, aSExual), but it's unfortunately the name of a flower heavily associated with romance. I would still prefer it over what we currently have, but It probably wouldn't be the popular opinion

So from that I also thought of Arose, which is much closer to the original, and more impactful imo. It's still 2 syllables (compared to rose and the other labels which are usually just one) but I'll take it

Any other ideas? Opinions?

(I don't think the majority of people would agree to a name change of the community, but if I could just find a name to use in my friend circle I'd be satisfied)
