Well, that's a wrap on #AceWeek2023, but hey, we're still ace and we're still here all the rest of the year, too 💜

Here's where to find us, on Twitch and everywhere else!

Asexuality & sex-positivity don't exist in contradiction! It's such a nice surprise to be nominated for the Sex-Positive Influencer Award as an asexual activist at the #SNAPAWARDS26! 💜🖤

My new research with the @HRC found that asexual people in the US are reporting decreased acceptance, visibility and outness even more than other LGBTQ+ groups over the past 12 months. We are feeling the effects of this cultural climate but don't have the same protections.

[Yasmin Benoit, MSc @theyasminbenoit]

"The cultural climate is becoming more conservative, and the rise in queerphobia impacts asexual people as well. But we have less support to fall back on." It was amazing to work with the @HRC on this research! 💜

New data has found that asexual people are experiencing sharper declines in acceptance, visibility & outness than other LGBTQ+ groups in the US' cultural climate. It's an honour to partner with the @HRC on this research. Our protection matters too. 💜

#InternationalAsexualityDay

[Yasmin Benoit, MSc @theyasminbenoit]

International Asexuality Day is tomorrow! I'm going to be releasing a new asexual lingerie campaign, my 3rd research report AND I'll be doing two talks in the Aces Never Sleep livestream at 12pm & 1pm BST, plus an in-person event! 👀

Stay tuned on IG for the details. 💜

I fully believe “separate the art from the artist” is only applicable when said artist is either dead or financially removed from their art.

You can’t act neutral when you’re literally lining their pockets by supporting their work.

[Blue Jai @Jai_Reddington]

This type of shit pisses me off so bad. White rom coms flop all the fucking time yet they’ll keep doling out money to make em. But let one black movie flop and they won’t give a black writer/director/producer the time of day for the next decade

alternative fashion 🤝🏾 asexuals

[Yasmin Benoit, MSc @theyasminbenoit]

Fashion choice ≠ sexuality.
Occupation ≠ sexuality.

I'm as asexual at a lingerie shoot as I am when I'm delivering a lecture in a polo neck. Fabric is just fabric. Your sexual orientation does not limit your self expression through fashion.

Happy 25th birthday to @asexuality - the Asexual Visibility & Education Network, our longest running Ace organisation. I'm proud to be part of AVEN's board of directors. Entirely ran by volunteers, they have been instrumental in so much advancement for the asexual community. 💜🖤

[Yasmin Benoit, MSc @theyasminbenoit]

Happy #InternationalWomensDay to asexual and aromantic women in particular. 🖤

[Yasmin Benoit, MSc @theyasminbenoit]

Asexuality needs to be part of conversations about sexual health!

It was a pleasure to teach another class at @LSHTM about the medicalisation of asexuality & how our discrimination is perpetuated in healthcare as part of their Sexual Health module!

#ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike

[Yasmin Benoit, MSc @theyasminbenoit]

It's amazing news that France is trying to get rid of their "conjugal rights" law, which supports that idea that sex is a requirement in marriage. This is something that will benefit everyone, including asexual & aromantic people. Here's why! 💚

#AromanticSpectrumAwarenessWeek

[Yasmin Benoit, MSc @theyasminbenoit]

It's #LGBTHistoryMonth! Asexual and aromantic people are part of queer history. With this year's theme being Science & Innovation, I wish we were at a point where science wasn't still being used to harm our communities through our continued medicalisation and pathologisation.

New work for @killstar! I started modelling with the goal of increasing diversity in the alternative fashion industry, after being told growing up that alternative style wasn't for Black people. It's a dream to model for my favourite brands now. 🖤

It's Friday! We have a Friday stream! We're playing a game! What game? Great question! Such a great question that it took us about 20 minutes back and forth to decide, but we're doing Inscryption and we're live now, whoo!
