			=== Queermisiac maps ===
			Some maps, even fitting the technical defintion of queerness, oppose the idea of map/queer solidarity or parallels between these identities due to their own internalized queermisia. This especially concerns older groups and sites, such as BoyChat (pictured below in screenshots) and [[Newgon#Transphobia \| Newgon]].

	A significant number of ~~people in the map community~~ also share ~~non-normative gender preferences or gender~~ identities.		'''Queer''' is a historically formed label for non normative gender attractions/presentation/identity, as well as absence of normative ones. In contemporary times it also includes several adjacent identities, such as polyamory.

			A significant number of maps also share such identities.

	As was already mentioned above, aromantic and asexual maps face unique kinds of erasure.

This combination of labels confuses some, but it is possible for a person to consider oneself a map because of [[Fictomap\|attraction to fictional children]] or some other preference that is neither sexual nor romantic, yet feels worthy of being included into one's orientation.
