Teeny tiny linkspam on greyness

I’ve been wanting to put together a linkspam on greyromanticism to refer people to for a while, but I realized that…there’s almost nothing written on greyromanticism.  There is a whole lot written on grey-asexuality, though, and there are some ways in which grey-asexuality and greyromanticism can be very similar.  Thus this linkspam was born!  

This linkspam is by no means comprehensive!  (For example, I’ve made an executive decision to only include one post from my demisexual linkspam.)  It’s pretty much just an aggregation of things that I tend to link people to when they ask about greyness.  I’m also defining “greyness” as any experience that is neither allo(romantic/sexual) nor a(romantic/sexual), so you’ll see that I’ve included some pieces written by people who identify as wtfromantic (or otherwise romantically wibbly).

Anyway, here goes!
