i know i'm probably guilty of this i'm just musing but does anyone else find it a little. strange. when people make posts telling alloromantics how to be better allies and all of the content is centered around online things like pride posts and headcanons and shipping like... we exist. in real life. yknow. like aros feeling isolated isn't just an online problem. it's not just our flag being in the second part of pride posts or people being obsessed with shipping we have. real life problems.

A lot of countries have tax breaks you can only get when you're married.

It's difficult to afford a good home on a single income.

Single people are less likely to be approved for adoption than couples - and very few places allow you to joint adopt with someone who isn't a romantic partner.

Leaving aside the legal stuff, so many aromantic people have the (not unfounded) fear that their friendships will fall by the wayside because their friends partner up. So many of us are convinced we're going to end up lonely, and we can't even talk about that loneliness without being misinterpreted. No, I'm not afraid that I'll never 'find someone', I'm afraid that all my friends will and then when they do they'll no longer have time for me.

Not to mention how many aro people's friends and family will treat them like there's something wrong with them, like they need to be fixed.

It's not that pride flags and fandom don't matter at all, but our problems are so much bigger and more complex than that.

Happy anniversary, Stonewall riots! Stay revolutionary!

At the lesbian meetup, met a kind of transphobic woman. Started gearing up to get fighty and then realised... she wasn't an actual terf. She was just older, genuinely didn't know stuff, had heard some terf talking points in passing and had been made kind of anxious by them, but hadn't made it her entire personality. She was open to learning that trans women weren't actually roaming around coercing unwilling cis lesbians into sex, thanked me earnestly for giving her a basic explanation of what "non-binary" meant and truly seemed to be relaxing bit by bit the more she heard. Obviously I'm aware that I can't be sure I've given her a sufficient dose of anti-transphobe vaccine to immunise her permanently against the shit that's out there, but overall it made me hopeful. Most people just aren't dyed-in-the-wool bigots. People can be curious and relieved to hear the fearmongering they've been exposed to is untrue. Telling people this stuff isn't a lost cause.

Coming out is a personal choice. You get to choose what you want to share or not about your identity, and with who.
