Not to get too sappy but to see this many ace non-fiction books is so unbelievably incredible. When I first figured out I was ace there was basically only one you could find outside academia, but now there are so many and it makes my whole heart happy💜💜
HAPPY #AceWeek! This is @acedadadvice, taking over the account for the afternoon! Very happy to be hanging with you for a while.
I'm a major book fan, so I wanted to share some great ace nonfiction to check out!
I need to be transparent for a minute. I've had something on my mind for quite a long time. I need to get this off my chest. So, bear with me. 🧵
I feel ashamed to be a virgin many days.
That sounds silly, but I some days feel embarrassed to be a virgin.
As you know, the UK acecon is coming up soon, 10-11 September 2022! Please do go and register if you haven't already!
As our official fundraiser for the conference, we’re proud to announce the first ever Ace Baker competition! 1/3
Asexual people are 10% more likely to be offered or to undergo conversion therapy than other orientations but we are continuously left out of the conversation. That needs to change.
Thanks @TransActivismUK for allowing me to discuss this issue at the #NotSafeToBeMe protest. 🏳️🌈
The new award for creepiest headline goes to... It's 2022 & editors are still placing this much emphasis on a woman's "virginity," a concept which should have been retired centuries ago, with made up quotes and a complete misunderstanding (and misrepresentation) of my asexuality.
People on the asexuality spectrum belong at Pride—not as allies, but as full participants.
Sadly, as a researcher I’ve found that ace folks sometimes feel unwelcome at Pride.
But queerness includes asexuality. Pride is for ace spectrum folks too.

The face of aro-ace, and the face of Unicorn issue 9, @theyasminbenoit took to our cover to shake up perceptions of what it means t be Ace and we loved every minute of it. https://t.co/Km8PZ7Pemi

PSA: ACES, IT'S TIME FOR ACTION.
You can either complain about the lack of progress for the asexual community or you can do something about it. I choose to create change.
You can be part of that by SHARING THIS POST & participating in the #AceProject:

I wanted to close this year's #AromanticSpectrumAwarenessWeek on a positive note! I took a deep drive into aromanticism for @PinkNews, where I discussed LGBTQ+ allyship, amatonormativity, and more! 💚🖤
