Hey. So I think I might be asexual but I also find everyone really pretty...? Can you be asexual and like people at the same time?

Absolutely! I recommend looking into the Split-Attraction Model to see about how identities work with different types of attraction.

can aroace's get crushes?

Some do. It might depend on where they identify on the spectrum or just what aroace means to them.

[asexuality-resources]

Could I still identify if I enjoy having sex?

Of course! Asexuality is about attraction, not action!

Hi...Well I'll get straight to the point. I have this crush on an Ace and Aro person. I'm Ace too so I understand that, but would it offend them if I confessed? I really don't wanna be rude to them, and I do not want to hurt them. Would it be better to just not confess?

I don't think it'd be rude to confess, but just be aware that they could be uncomfortable with the situation and it's important to respect how they feel about it but also to be honest. Either way, good luck! :)

I've been targeted recently by the tumblr ace discourse, even though I've never engaged with the tag or argued it myself, people went through who liked certain posts and came after me and it's just made me incredibly anxious and upset. I'm a grey-bi-romantic ace but I used to identify as heteroromantic ace, and I feel so unsafe here now, I've even had people who are supposed to be LGBT telling me to get raped. are there any blogs to reach out to? I'm in a bad mental place right now because of it

I'm sorry anon, this is not what you deserve :( You are an amazing person and I'm happy that you were able to find words that fit you. Unfortunately I don't know of anyone you can talk to off hand, but hopefully someone can comment/reply with some suggestions?

Could you help me out? So my question is can asexual people have crushes like you see someone and you think they are cute and want to date them I had a crush on guy and thought about cuddling and kissing him But don't desire sex. Could I be ace?

Absolutely! Having a crush on someone is an expression of romantic attraction, which is often separate from sexual attraction. From this ask, I can say that you’re probably not aromantic, which is a romantic orientation describing someone who does not experience romantic attraction.Whether or not you’re ace is up to you! If you’ve never been interested in thinking of someone sexually, you could very well be asexual.(For more information on sexual vs romantic orientations/attraction, look into the Split Attraction Model)

The Nonbinary/Genderqueer Stats Survey 2017

It’s time for the fourth annual nonbinary/genderqueer survey!

Last year there were over 3,000 participants, and I’d love it if we could beat that this year. If your gender isn’t fully expressed or described by the gender binary, you are enthusiastically invited to take part - regardless of the words (if any) that you use to describe your gender.

There are just 8 questions, and it doesn’t ask for your birth assignment or any identifying information.

[LINK]

If you’re nonbinary or thereabouts, or you know you’ve got followers who are, please consider reblogging this post. The statistics are really useful for visibility and activism worldwide.

You can see results from previous years here. The survey will be open for about three weeks, and closes no earlier than Monday 27th February 2017.

Thank you!

I started an asexuality meetup for the Tampa Bay Florida area. It's very new and has only had two meetups so far, and I'd like to see it get bigger. Could you signal boost it for me? It's called the Saint Petersburg Asexuality Meetup. Thank you very much!

Heads up lovelies!!

So i just came out to my dad abt being nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.

He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”

and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that.

Chag Sameach and Shabbat Shalom to every lovely Jewish a-spec person (which is every Jewish a-spec person, because you are all lovely and incredible)! I hope that your days of celebration are full of joy, and that you are surrounded by love and acceptance - and know that even if you aren’t getting that from your family IRL right now, you are absolutely loved and supported by your family online.

Shoutout to those of you who have to spend the holidays with their unaccepting or unaware family. -If your family doesn't accept you, remember that there are still people who care about you, you are still valid, and you are still amazing -If you're not out yet, that's okay. Whatever your reason is, you can come out whenever you want, whenever you feel comfortable. Don't feel required to come out this holiday if you don't want to Anyway I love you all regardless of how "out" you are or what your birth family thinks of you
