a-

a prefix meaning "without", often used in regards to romantic, sexual and gender identities.

Within Queer identities, it is used to denote those that lack, or are with no or little connection to the suffix (what comes after the ‘a’) – such as aromantic (those who experience no or little romantic attraction), asexual (those who experience little or no sexual attraction), and agender (those who identify without gender, those who lack gender).
