Happy Ace Awareness Week
Just a reminder that:
- The A in LGBTQIA+ stands for asexual, not ally! Allies are great but they’re not a part of the queer community, while aces are!
- There are many identities on the ace spectrum that don’t equal zero sexual attraction! If you’re demisexual (like me), you only experience sexual attraction after having a strong emotional bond with someone. If you’re gray-asexual, you rarely ever experience sexual attraction.
- You can be ace and LGBPQ! You can be ace and trans*! Being ace doesn’t just mean cis aroace!
- There’s no such thing as a cishet ace. By being asexual your attraction to the opposite gender is inherently different from a cisgendered heteroromantic heterosexual’s attraction.
- Finally, asexuality is absolutely real and valid. Being ace is not a mental disorder, and being ace doesn’t mean you just haven’t found the right guy/girl/nb pal. If you’re ace, you are so valid and I love you so much!
