New Asexuality Flag; Final Updates and Thoughts

We've reached the finish line; Here's the Final Design!

This is a very valuable and cool project. Let's get this flag out there!

And white aces 🫵🏻: we need to get our asses in gear and do whatever introspection and self-education is needed to not repeat the kind of treatment Ashabi and other ace people of colour have recieved over the years. Come on, people.

🖤🩶🤍💛💖💜

Since Pride Month is almost upon us, I just want to make sure that ANYONE who identifies as aspec knows that this is your month, too!

Whether you identify as ace, aro, demi, grey, or any micro label, or combination that's well known or hardly know at all. You are valid, and YOU ARE part of the LGBTQA+ community. Never forget that!!

[hxneyfarm]

Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.

[makingqueerhistory]

Hi!! You've probably already answered this before, but... Could you tell me about any aros or aces (or, ideally, aroaces!!) who have made significant contributions to the LGBT+ community?

I know it /shouldn't/ matter, but... Hearing about trans women at Stonewall, or lesbians helping gay men with AIDs... It's just hard not to feel really isolated and rejected and unwanted among the queer community a lot of the time. I do think that many historical gay men/lesbians might've fit the definition of ace or aro (how many historical queers just, ran bars or whatever and were beloved by the community but maybe never really dated?) but it gets so hard to find people I can look up to who are really Mine, as dumb as that sounds...

I totally get this actually, queer icons can often center more well known identities. Here are some stories that might help:

Early Asexual Feminists: The Asexual History of Social Purity Activists and Spinsters

Emma Trosse

The Golden Orchid Society

My strongest recommendation is Emma Trosse though. Here is a quote from her article:

"Her most enduring legacy though comes from her medical writing, where she became the first woman known to write a scientific book about homosexuality titled Der Konträrsexualismus in Bezug auf Ehe und Frauenfrage (Homosexuality in relation to marriage and the question of women's rights). Within her writings around queerness, she would use words such as Urning, which comes from Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, and would demand sympathy for “contrary sexuals” writing: “I will continually exert my full strength to destroy that weak deception and help to open the eyes of those it affects. For only when one has learned to see can one rightly comprehend and judge the poor creatures who are damned without having been understood or heard, or who—if one is being benevolent—are passed by with a sympathetic shrug of the shoulders. That is an Urning! How may we take further notice of him? With this hard, loveless feeling one renounces once and for all his fellow creature.” Coming from a great legacy of scientific writers coming to the defense of queerness, she would immortalize herself with the word Sinnlichkeit, which is the origin of the current word asexual. Not only did she note the existence of people whom the community would now recognize as asexual or demisexual, but she would also identify herself among them."

International Asexuality Day (@iadofficial) is excited to announce the fifth annual IAD, taking place on April 6th, 2025! IAD is a worldwide event dedicated to asexual advocacy, celebration, education, and solidarity, with a special emphasis on countries that have had less ace coverage so far.

Check out IAD's linktree for information! https://linktr.ee/IADofficial

Celebrating IAD can be as simple as using the day as an excuse to start a conversation about asexuality in your local area, so don’t feel down if you cannot do something big. Even a repost for other’s activities is enough and can go a long way!

well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.

Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.

I just feel like we should bring back an old part of ace culture in 2025

[transandrogyny--turtlebug]

experiencing misogyny isn't what makes someone a woman, womanhood isn't like "the ability to experience misogyny" being a woman is identifying as a woman.

Everyone experiences misogyny. People tend to forget that when it comes to trans men, who are direct targets of misogyny, and yet of course, not women.

[fierceawakening]

People love the idea that oppression is just a new way of sorting things and not, you know, humans’ general tendency to pick random shit to be mean to people about, just on a societally large scale

It’s not bad because it’s targeting x or y, it’s bad because it’s MEAN and VERY BIG.

[hungrynikita]

I find this very disingenuous. Misogyny is, by definition, the oppression of women. Most people would find it ridiculous for me as a white woman to say I experience racism, or that my cishet brother experiences homophobia, or that Jeff Bezos experiences wealth inequity. In fact, we’ve had so many discussions about how All Lives Matter is not an appropriate response to police brutality and most people in my general political have consistently agreed with this.

We (on the left) recognize that these other types of structural oppression are directional, purposeful, and specifically benefit the class or group in power. I honestly don’t understand the tendency to say that oppression and violence toward women is actually just being Big Mean, with no particular target and no benefit to the Meanies. Especially right now, when the right is being very vocal about pushing women back into a home-based, reproductive role. Does this impact trans people? Of course it does. But it’s not random people picking shit to be mean about. I didn’t lose my federal right to bodily autonomy because some overgrown middle school bullies decided to pick on me. They had a plan and executed it over the course of four decades.

[fierceawakening]

I think you're making up a guy to get mad at.

A white person who is assumed to be black ABSOLUTELY CAN experience antiblack racism, because the fact that the racist person got it wrong is irrelevant.

So yes, trans men, as people often assumed to be women, can experience misogyny. As can cis men asssumed to be trans women because they look feminine.

Can we PLEASE not call me disingenuous for pointing out bigots gonna bigot? I'd rather not have to block you.

[pointlesslypointing]

CIS MEN experience misogyny. Misogyny is often directed at and weaponized against cis men to influence behaviour. "Man up. What are you, a woman? You're acting like a little girl. If you do(n't) [X,Y,Z] you're not really a man."

Just because women are the primary targets of misogyny doesn't mean that experiencing it or having it directed at you makes you a woman.

[transandrogyny--turtlebug]

If misogyny is a system of oppression (which it is) it affects everyone. Two things can be true at the same time, misogyny can be used to bully people into acting in a way that conforms to social standards as well as strips people from their rights. I also want to point out again that trans men are /direct/ targets of misogyny, even not being women, systemic misogyny targets trans men/mascs and enbies and people assumed to be women in a way that affects us honestly worse than a lot of cis women, given the fact that it's mixed in with transphobia.

pop feminism is made by cis women, so obviously it centers them, that doesn't mean that feminism is only for or about cis women or that they are the only targets or even the main targets of misogyny. It can be "big mean" And also other stuff, that's what systemic means

[vaspider]

It just makes me think of how, like, ten years ago, people were saying that ace people couldn't be part of the queer community because "the queer community was formed to fight homophobia and transphobia," and since (so the exclusionists claimed) ace people don't experience homophobia or transphobia unless they were also L, G, B or T, they couldn't possibly be part of the community.

Like, please at least pretend to get a new fucking script.

[teasugarsalt]

If we define our identities by our oppressions we have a vested interest in upholding oppressive systems.
