shoutout to acespec and/or arospec people who still feel some amount of sexual/romantic attraction btw. shoutout to everyone who isn't fully aro/ace and isn't fully allo. shoutout to the aspecs who feel like they don't fully fit in aro/ace communities or allo communities because of it. i love you all i am baking you cookies

Every time someone talks about how it's our "purpose" or how we're "meant to" to reproduce, I want to tear my reproductive organs out and slam them down on the table.

Aspec men deserve much more respect and recognition in the aspec community than they receive. They often face a different form of aphobia specific to them ("men are naturally sexual they can't be ace" "all men are unromantic that's not unique") this rhetoric is spouted by many, even members of our own community and I hope for a day where that is no longer the case. As an ace and demiro woman (demigirl but that's beside the point) I want to encourage folks to take the time to give the aspec men in their lives support and to the aspec men reading, you are who you say you are no matter what people say and you deserve the world. I'm sorry for the ways in which toxic masculinity has harmed you. You are a valued member of the aspec community and the queer community as a whole. No ace or aro person is broken and neither are you. I'm sorry if anyone has ever told you otherwise.

ALL ACES AND AROS ARE QUEER

I need the asexual equivalent of the word “gaydar”. My favorite I’ve seen proposed is compACE (compass + ace). What about for aros?! My brain cannot rest until this is solved…

Bottomline is – of course I want to be loved. Luckily for me, I AM loved, too. So don't you go worrying about me "not being loved".

Realizing you can like people aesthetically without it dictating your sexuality is so liberating tbh. Like, one can adore, even be obsessed with, the looks of someone of the same sex and still be straight. One can find people beautiful, and handsome, and fascinating, and still be asexual. I can like the physical appearance of someone of the opposite sex and still be gay. Finding physical beauty in people doesn’t equal to being physically, or sexually, or romantically attracted to them. Human beauty isn’t inherently sexual. Just wanted to put it out there.

"if you tell all your friends you love them all the time, then the word love becomes meaningless" well for one yeah i sure hope it does, and for two, if hearing me tell you i love you every day becomes meaningless to you because i say it too often, then you don't believe my love is valuable and also skill issue

Happy International asexuality Day! Be ace, do crime, drink aced tea!

"oh, but you said you had a crush on someone-" no. that was me gaslighting myself into thinking i had a crush on someone because of how sexually centered society is.

[avenpt]

oh shoot.

I just realized that I was the aromantic outlier in my psychology class that my professor was Not prepared for.

I just gave a sermon at my church today about asexuality and how to be an ally. Not only did I get a lot of comments about how much people liked it (and how it was easy to understand for so many old folks), but one old lady came up to me afterwards with tears in her eyes and she said, "I'm 77 years old and I finally know what I am. Thank you." And that just made everything I've done worth it.

(also, thank you @onbearfeet for letting me use one of your blog posts. It resonated with a lot of people)

i LOVE creating the most outrageous innuendos whilst being a sex-repulsed, aroace person LOL

i could say the most craziest, sexual thing but i never actually mean it, and it's so funny to see my friends' reactions
