As you may know I check Merriam-Webster's online dictionary every week to see if they have added asexual the orientation, aromantic, and agender. Last year they updated the entry for asexual to include the orientation. As of this week they have added an entry for agender as well! I am hopeful that soon they will add an entry for aromantic! You can see the entry for agender here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/agender There are many other folks whose identifying words are not in the dictionary. I am hopeful that this petition will help Merriam-Webster keep a better eye out and add those words as well. If a word describing your identity is not in the dictionary I encourage you to contact them. I may create another petition in the future to request other words be added. Thank you for your continued support! Please continue to share the petition! -Sarah "Neila" Elkins
