[chsblog-moved]

include straight trans people in your activism and representation or i’ll take out your fucking knees with a crowbar this has been a warning

[kira-astra-infinitum]

And also hetero aspec/arospec people, please?

[chsblog-moved]

you’re absolutely right thank you, anyone who excludes straight acespec and arospec people gets a crowbar to the knees as well

[chsblog-moved]

reblog this version instead pls

[aceofsquiddles]

My ace identity and my aro identity are equally important to me, but the aro flag is often left out even when the ace flag is included, so when I do see it I get really happy.

(Obligatory disclaimer that I don’t expect every pride flag edit to include every flag, because there’s so many it wouldn’t be feasible. It just feels good seeing your identity represented, especially when that’s rare)

You know who doesn’t get enough love? Ace boys. So here’s to the demi or grey-ace or ace boys. Here’s to the boys who get told by society that they should be all about sex but who don’t feel the same way. Here’s to the aro boys who get told they’re jerks for not wanting a relationship. It’s ok, you’re ok! You and your feelings are valid.

[boypositiveplace-deactivated201]

Boys who are sex-repulsed/don’t enjoy sex/are too uncomfortable to have sex - you’re doing an amazing job at coping in a society that associates your maleness with having strong sexual desires. You are valid, you are loveable, you are not ‘weird’ for not fitting into the stereotype of men wanting sex all time.

people who are “anti non binary” smash that unfollow button babey cause I don’t want you near me or my blog

[dadvenom]

that goes for people who are “non binary critical” or “non binary skeptic” too

[vergeangst]

If you don’t support nonbinary people

bye bitch

[hazel2468]

Yeah just a reminder that I don’t do any of that “NB crit” or “gender crit” bullshit here. If y’all don’t wholeheartedly support trans and NB people- and yeah that fucking includes people who you don’t think qualify for some bullshit “tucute” reason- then GTFO. You wouldn’t like my blog anyway. 

[mushki-art]

Heyyy woo! I’m finally ready to share this online~ This has just been my experience being Ace. I’m selling these at cons and will have them at MSP Spring Con (at the MN state fair grounds, yo!)

But I’ve also been trying out gumroad too - so you can get a pdf of it off there too if you want~

[lesbianfreyja]

what’s with the weird stigma that being closeted is okay but only if it would be physically unsafe for you to come out? coming out is YOUR business, if you know it would be fine & nothing would happen to you & nobody would care, but you don’t want to anyway, that’s your choice and it’s perfectly valid.

I’ve been on this website a pretty long time - since 2012 - and in the non-straight side of it for that whole time, so I’d like to talk about a bit of recent history, both of the site and from my point of view.

When I started, I didn’t yet identify as asexual or aromantic spectrum. I hadn’t really heard of them before. But in the first few years I was on Tumblr, there were so many ace and aro people, proud, talking about their experiences, sharing jokes and puns, inventing terms for their experiences (squish, zucchini, WTFromantic, etcetera, etcetera). It was wonderful. I learned that I wasn’t alone and what I was feeling wasn’t freakishly unique. I started identifying as ace and arospec. I started an ace/aro humor blog, which got very popular.

Then exclusionists suddenly started appearing. They attacked everyone with a wiff of non-alloness and attacked anyone who defended them. They threw around accusations of homophobia, pedophilia, racism, anything they could think of. There was massive discourse. Everyone was in turmoil.

Ace/aro people stopped talking about their experiences because they knew they would be jumped on. We stopped using our words because we knew they would be used against us. We shut down our blogs to desperately try to escape the hate, anonymous and personal. I shut down my humor blog which had given so many people innocent laughter. People took their identities out of their descriptions - including me - because we knew they would be quoted and used as weapons in debate.

Then, the exclusionists died down.

I want to make this very clear. You don’t see less exclusionist debate now because the exclusionists died off. You see it because the ace and aro people did - or at least pretended to. We stopped being proud, and laughing, and using our words. They’re not attacking us anymore because we’re in hiding. I can’t remember the last time I heard someone happily talking about their squish or their zucchini. (And I bet you’re thinking, right now, how silly those words are, aren’t you? That’s what they’ve done. They’ve taken our playfulness and used it to belittle and demean us.)

Exclusionists have moved on to the “queer is a slur” battle because they already won this one. They already beat ace and aro people into submission and now they’re moving on to queer people.

I’ve seen the rise and fall of ace and aro people on Tumblr. This is not our rise. It is our fall.

But we don’t have to accept that. Be proud again. Start laughing again. Start your blogs back up. I’ll start mine. Remember that you can use words like squish, and zucchini, and quoiromantic, and they don’t need to make you cringe. If it’s been so long since we were open that you don’t know those words, find one of the blogs that remains and learn about your community. Stand again with the other marginalized people who defended us during the main force of the battle, the trans people, the bi people, the queer people. To those people, please, help us. We’re scared. But pride is a wonderful, wonderful thing. And we deserve to find it again.

[official-cisphobe]

I want to take this moment to officially announce on my blog that I am in fact aromantic and extremely proud of it.

I’m in a queerplatonic relationship with an aroace person and a demiaro ace person and I love them both so much.

I will not tolerate any sort of aspec hate on my blog, I’ve never felt more at home than with the aspec community, for this community is so full of wonderful people.

And a soft reminder to any aspec person reading; you will always be safe on my blog and I will protect and defend you to my goddamn grave.

[saint-batrick]

grey-ace and grey-aro very queer bat, here

[deliriumcrow]

Big old queer ace here. Always here, always queer.

[cipheramnesia]

I’m not ace, I am queer, and ace exclusionists should fuck off my blog. All exclusionists but let me single out the ace ones here.

[vaspider]

Not ace, extremely queer, will never stop identifying as queer. Ace and aro folx are explicitly invited to be awesome around me, and I think my stance on exclusionary bullshit is p clear by now. (It sucks.)

[asterosian]

Hey y’all I’m a huge fuckin aromantic and I’m queer and exclusionists cannot shut me up

[robertphilip]

people who are “anti non binary” smash that unfollow button babey cause I don’t want you near me or my blog

bye bitch

[noandpickles]

Fuck “gender-critical” people.

[mythicalcoolkid]

Asexuality is weird because you’ll be 12 going “wow why are people my age concerned about sex we’re just kids” and then you’re 16 going “wow why are people my age concerned about sex we’re just kids” and then you’re an adult suddenly realizing that other people are attracted to people and want to have sex with them and that’s the normal thing at that age and you’re like oh maybe it’s me

[raavenb2619]

[glimmmadora-deactivated20190328]

since the straights are turning pride into music festivals and trendy parties i propose we return to form and riot 

[glimmmadora-deactivated20190328]

pride is cancelled we’re resorting to wrath

[amelia-e-grey]

I’m sampling moss on this old property for a class over spring break but I’m honeslty more interested in the 2 barn kitties now (Rosie amd Jazz)

[space-aronaut]

Wow it’s almost like the oversexualisation of queerness is one of the reasons why asexuals, non-binary folks and aromantics are not seen as queer enough to be part of the community

[quousque]

OH

[angrylittlesliceofpizza]

there you go

[minttulip13]

Oh
