Here at Newsner, we\u2019ve explained \u2018graysexual\u2018, \u2018demisexual\u2018 and \u2018almondsexual\u2018 over the past year or so, bringing our readers up to speed as we find out for ourselves in real time.<\/p>\n
Call it a sign of the times, perhaps, but it seems like there are new ways, new labels for one to define their experiences of attraction being created constantly.<\/p>\n
Now, let me make it clear that I don\u2019t have anything specifically against this. I\u2019m not some grumpy curmudgeon resisting change and vehemently complaining because things aren\u2019t exactly the way they used to be.<\/p>\n
That said, it can all get a bit confusing. It seems like there are so many ways for people to identify, such a large spectrum of words with which to describe one\u2019s sexuality and preferences when it comes to attraction, that it\u2019s impossible to keep track.<\/p>\n
Which is why we\u2019re doing our best to keep people informed and updated. In that vein, we thought it only right to shed some light on the concept of being \u201cberrisexual\u201d.<\/p>\n
As per reports, people on Reddit are identifying as being berrisexual, so here\u2019s exactly what it means.<\/p>\n
On Urban Dictionary, one of the earliest definitions describes someone who identifies as berrisexual as \u201csomeone attracted to women and feminine genders and androgynous genders, but also very rarely attracted to men and masculine genders.\u201d<\/p>\n
Put simply, berrisexual individuals can be attracted to people across all genders, though attraction to men or masculine people tends to be lighter, less frequent, or secondary.<\/p>\n
The term is relatively new compared to, say, those such as bisexual and pansexual, but that doesn\u2019t mean it doesn\u2019t have a right to hold space. Indeed, some Reddit users expressed their happiness at finally having a tag that better fits their personality and preference.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany people don\u2019t know about berris**ual, and we need more representation!\u201d one person wrote on Reddit.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I don\u2019t have to pick because berri fits like a glove,\u201d another added, referencing a previous struggle to define their sexuality.<\/p>\n
As one contributor on the LGBTQIA+ Fandom site put it: \u201cBerrisexuality is about attraction to all genders\u2026 you can always date a man.\u201d <\/p>\n
A micro label more niche and specific than broader terms including bi, pan, or omnisexual, berrisexual allow for a small set of people to feel comfortable in their sexuality.<\/p>\n
According to Queerdom Wiki, berrisexuality \u2013 also sometimes known as Laurian \u2013 is similar to pansexuality or omnisexuality in that an individual can experience attraction to all genders.<\/p>\n
The main difference is the aforementioned attraction to men or masculine-aligned people being rarer or less strong than attraction toward women and nonbinary or androgynous people.<\/p>\n
