To whom it may concern,
I am aroace but I am also wlw. Because attraction is not limited to sexual and romantic attraction. Alterous, queerplatonic, aesthetic, sensual; these are all forms of attraction. Oriented aroaces exist and we navigate relationships in our own way.
Morning Dublin Pride people. Looking to seeing some of there today. I’ll be at the entrance to Stephen’s green with my ace flag at 10:45 for our breakfast picnic! All are welcome
!!DUBLIN ASPEC PEOPLE!!
For Pride I think it would be cute and fun if we had a little picnic in St Stephen’s Green. The parade starts at noon so I was thinking 11 and we could hang around for the day. Everyone is welcome!! I’ll bring snacks
Pls RT 💛✨
Your words don’t come from a bad place at all, but they unfortunately have a harmful impact. Asexuality is my life, not just a brief blip caused by a tragedy. It is all the ways I can love, not all the ways I don’t. I’m 24 and this will be how I love forever and I love that
I’ve been seeing a lot of people saying they used to think they were asexual and now have realised they see something else. Your experience is completely valid but I’d just like to talk through how that can be expressed without implications about asexuality.
I’d just ask that you avoid saying things like “I can’t believe the internet made me think I was asexual” or that a bad relationship made you think you were asexual. It implies being ace comes from damage. By all means discuss your experience, but please be careful of your words
I’ve had the same GP for about a year now, and because I have really bad periods he has to ask if I’m sexually active. I always assure the doctor that we don’t need to plan for me ever becoming sexually active. He’s really nice about it but bless him he’s so confused
Anyway. My New Year’s resolutions is to be more active on here again. I’ve been so busy it’s been tough to carve time for activism but I shall be making my return
I thought I’d come so far with my internalised aphobia. Realising I cannot imagine a world where my asexuality is not a problem. Will I ever love myself?
It’s really stressful how many lgbtq people who supposedly “support ace people” harbour harmful views of the community. Saying that ace people exist and that we’re “valid” is less than the bear minimum
Having sexual attraction is not the only way to love, and it is not the only way to have an immensely fulfilling relationship with another person. Trust us! We're asexual, we're happy as can be, and it's our 8 year anniversary!
