just a reminder that asexuals and aromantics are all valid, wherever you lie on either spectrum!
and aces aren't cishet. Don't even try to argue that. π
If asexuality was heteronormative I wouldn't:
-be afraid of being out at work (or in general)
-have spent so many years feeling broken
-have been told being ace is "wrong" and "gross
I wouldn't have felt like I could breathe for the first time when I discovered the term asexual
@AsexualsNet I didn't choose the ace life, the ace life chose me.
...in all seriousness though, why would I want to be allo? that's far too confusing lol. I'm very happy being aroace!
UK census is approaching... fellow asexuals, what are we going to put for the sexual orientation question? Tick other & than add asexual? Will it confuse to put aromantic asexual? (the question asks for sexual orientation not romantic)

Asexuality is not something that has been made up on social media.
It's not a choice, celibacy, abstinance, a condition, disease, something to be fixed, needing to meet the right person.
It's #AroWeek and I've decided to come out and say - I'm aromantic.
I used to say I was demiromantic, but that just doesn't feel right anymore. Aromantic, however? Yeah. That fits. π
@VioletEmeraldx Platonic love is so important and sadly undervalued.
I've said 'just friends' before as well, just trying to change the terms we use, one little step at a time!
It's aromantic awareness week! ππ€π€
Platonic love is just as real & valid as any other type of love. Friendships are not lesser than romantic relationships.
Replace "more than friends" with "different than friends".
Replace "just friends" with "good friends".
