Aspec Positivity

A safe space for all members of the ace /aspec community. No TERFs, truscum, SWERFs or REGs.

[azuremist]

You might be in a reactionary queer exclusionist movement if...

(As penned by someone who lived through the peaks of tumblr ace, bi, and dysphoria discourse.)

You find yourself saying that XYZphobia either 1) doesn't exist, 2) is misdirected ABCphobia, or 3) isn't nearly as bad as ABCphobia, so it's not an issue, really.

You say everyone talking about XYZphobia is just ABCphobic, and/or is just repeating conservative rhetoric. (“Asexuals are all homophobic anti-sex prudes!” “People who think you don’t need dysphoria to be trans are transphobic!”)

One of your main issues include either the idea that XYZ people will confuse cishets, or that XYZ people are co-opting ABC spaces / resources (and are thus all inherently ABCphobes).

You find yourself giving them a stupid-sounding nickname to derogatorily refer to them with. (Think "asexies", "bihets", etc.)

You prop up XYZ people on your side of the discourse as "one of the good ones".

You make copypastas / jokes out of them expressing pain or trying to keep themselves safe. (Think like how 'the aphobe blocklist' became a meme.)

We have been forcibly displaced from our homes and now find ourselves without shelter, food, or basic necessities.

We urgently call on kind-hearted individuals and humanitarian organizations to come to our aid.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in the lives of our children and families.

🚨Please help us — time is running out 🚨

My name is Mahmoud Al-Halaq, from Palestine - Gaza - I am 29 years old. This message is addressed to every person who carries compassion, kindness, and love in their heart. After 470 days of war on Gaza, the destruction that has occurred, the displacement we have faced, moving from one place to another, and the loss and death of loved ones and friends, I found myself alone without a home or place, and even the prices of food are astronomical. The world has changed so much that life has become gloomy and boring. Therefore, I ask for your help in rebuilding myself, my life, and my family's life anew. You are our remaining hope in life. If there were an opportunity to work, I would not waste a minute nor ask for help from anyone, but I urgently need assistance for my family, my children, and the women to rebuild what has been destroyed and crushed in this devastating and painful war. Thank you for your time and support; we draw our strength and resilience from your support. 🍉

I am from Khan Yunis, Gaza Strip. The situation here is completely different from what you see in the news. The word disaster is not enough for the situation here. Do you know what it means to see the bones of children from hunger? 😭Do you know what it means to be a young man and not be able to walk from lack of food and other things? There are many people infected with the stomach epidemic here because of the dirty water. You don't want to talk about the fact that all of Khan Yunis here lives in torn tents. The planes are dropping lava of flames on them. It's not something to joke about. So I hope that whoever has mercy in his heart will help us and stand with us. Anwar is getting worse every day.

Please donate to me 🥺

When trans women are mocked and made into jokes in the media, I get very upset, and I am often told “Kay, you can’t go through life getting offended every time someone makes a joke.” And I sputter and object but they don’t hear me. So I want to be clear for once, about why the jokes make me angry.

I learned to hate myself for being transgender before I knew I was transgender. I laughed at the jokes in stand up comedy routines, and prime time sitcoms, and animated comedy shows, and in the movies, and in books, and in games, laughing at trans women for existing, about “men in dresses”, about people who “got their dicks chopped off”, and I learned to think that was worthy of ridicule.

And then a day came when I felt a pang of envy at what my female classmates were wearing and I repressed it, and felt guilty, and a day where I felt incomplete because I had no breasts and I repressed it and I felt disgusting And a day when I realized the only images of romance that made me feel anything showed two women together and I repressed it and I felt like a monster And a day when I realized I felt sick when I looked at myself in the mirror after every shower before work and couldn’t bear to look at my own face, and I hated myself. And then there came a day when I hated myself so much, and I thought I could never understand why, and so I just wanted it all to end. And it was just a miracle that I swerved my car back into my lane in time.

And all of it started with a joke that I heard on TV, and then kept hearing from all the voices from the ether, over and over and over, worming an idea into my mind before I was old enough to realize I was absorbing it, the idea that a man in a dress is funny, and that changing your body parts makes you a freak, and that women who have penises instead of vaginas are liars and hurt men. And they’re still making these jokes. And somewhere out there right now, just like all those years ago, there is a little girl in a t-shirt and cargo shorts with buzzed off hair watching the TV, hearing that joke and absorbing it without knowing it, who will someday have to pry herself apart to tear it out of her head, just like I did.

That is, if she doesn’t kill herself first.

Something wonderful about my relationship with my wife @cannilyuncanny is that we both have a deep love of cooking. I'm someone who likes to "measure with my heart" rather than follow recipes, so I do a lot of improvised cooking. My wife is very precise and likes to measure and follow recipes, so she is the one who does the baking.

She has learned to make foccacia, pita, and no-knead bread. A couple of years ago she received a sourdough started from a friend and made potato kulchas with it. One thing that she loves about this is that humans have been bread-making for over 30,000 years, and so making bread connects her to her ancestors and to people all over the world.

People in Gaza are being denied access to these simple, fundamental ingredients to make bread, to nourish their bodies and spirits, and it breaks our hearts. The Israeli government, with the support of the United States, blocks vital food aid from reaching the Gaza Strip. This has led to extreme price inflation for the little food that remains in the markets. The only alternative to paying these elevated food prices is to go to Israeli-US controlled food sites that function to draw in large numbers of starving people past Israeli snipers where they can be massacred. Hundreds of people have been killed this way.

Palestinians are suffering and dying of hunger. In this overwhelming context, two Palestinians, Ahmad Al-Gharabli and his friend Abdulsalam are starting a mutual aid project in Northern Gaza called Palestinian Community Kitchen, to feed as many people as they can in Gaza. They have a tumblr blog @palestine-charity-kitchen where you can learn more. Like everyone in Gaza, they rely on donations.

Just wanted you to know that you forgot to center women in your post about trans men's experiences.....yeah....women are the authority on that actually....yeah....especially cis women, who trans men oppress somehow,,

[sink-drainage]

I think it's disgusting to declare transphobic ideology "transfeminism posting."

You are NOT helping trans women by shitting on trans men.

Do you know what you ARE doing?

- actively dividing the trans community

- declaring yourself worthy of speaking on behalf of all trans women (you're not)

- punching down on all trans men (ESPECIALLY, ESPECIALLY TRANS MEN OF COLOR)

- reinforcing incorrect assumptions of how oppression works

You are not an ally. You're a fucking cop.

When will people realize that aroace people may not crave sexual and romantic relationships, but they can and probably will be lonely and want to find comfort in having friends and hugging/cuddling them.

I saw a post saying that they had a friend that "claims to be ace, but wants to cuddle with me when we watch movies" and that they "think they might have a crush on me" LOCK IN!!!! DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROMANTIC/SEXUAL/PLATONIC AFFECTION!!

[redladydeath]

"aro/ace people can still be in relationships/have sex!!!" yeah and lesbians can have sex with men without it invalidating their identity, but if you go up to every lesbian you meet and start screaming about how "lesbians can be in relationships with cis men too!!!" you're gonna end up with a lot of pissed off lesbians because you're highkey replicating the same "you don't have to go against the norms of allocishet society! you can just be Normal™!" messaging they've been bombarded with ever since they started using that label, just dressed up in progressive language.

[battle-for-dyke-island]

if you say “but aros can still date!” about your aromantic blorbo, I need you to mean it. you can’t make the ship just boring old romance.

your blorbo is still aromantic, so how would that color their relationships? how would that affect their daily life? do they struggle with feeling “greedy” because they can’t love their partner back the way their partner loves them? do they have a hard time with an allo partner because on a fundamental level they don’t quite understand what romance is like, even if they’re experiencing it? on the positive side; what societal boundaries of romance do they cast aside or embrace? how do they navigate a romantic relationship differently than their peers? if it’s an aro4aro partnership, how is it unique? how much does being aro define their relationship vs. just their own personal quirks? is that even a line that can be drawn?

an aro relationship is different from an allo one. I promise, it’s so much more fun to explore what that means and the consequences of that than just “oh aros can date so they’re dating in the same way any allos would”.

[reotheleo]

Can I just say, uh, I’m pretty sure noticing you’re asexual is harder than noticing you’re gay, straight, pan or otherwise. Like, I just read someone’s desciption of hitting puberty and, like, there’s nothing like that. There’s no sudden ‘boob’ moment, no sudden ‘fuck, I’d fuck that’ moment, not sudden anything. You just, like, plod on through life as usual going ‘oooh, that’s pretty, I’d like that hair’ or ‘oooooh, they’re nice, I’d like to be close to them’ but there’s no like, ‘oh, someone would want to fuck that but I don’t’, you know? You just- you don’t notice, you don’t realise everyone else has ‘had a moment’ but you haven’t, you just- keep going as you always have.

And then, much much later, you start to wonder why people are getting so caught up in drama for romance or sex, like, why bother? It’s not worth it, they’re not worth it, why are you doing stupid things for something that’s so- and then you wonder if there’s something wrong with you, start mentally over compensating. Like ‘uh, okay, um, who should I date? Who can I stand to date? Who could I stand to fuck?’ like- it’s not, it’s not something you want, but you want to fit in, to be normal.

Sometimes you don’t even know that you’re doing it.

Sometimes you don’t even know asexual’s a thing.

I dunno, I guess, I just feel like, uh, people should understand more?

idk sorry thank you for listening to me

[demiblocked]

Thank you for perfectly describing it.

[peregrinelight]

It’s way more difficult to notice the absence of something, especially when you’ve never had it in the first place??

It’s like being born without a nose and then being expected to understand what things smell like because everyone ELSE has a nose.

fr i think my mental health would improve by 90% if i didnt have to deal with this financial shit, the sturggle for housing, and all of this

i made barely enough to scrape by, overdrawing my account every single month working for this garbage company that sucked me dry of energy and joy

and now that im unemployed, i get hit with the "lol yeah find a new apartment in three months haha" in the fucking 700€ for 15 square meters city that i live in

and while i know that the city still owes me money, but if im mad unlucky, theyll send that to the first of may, meaning, ill have to live until then on literally nothing, and not even have enough to pay rent + bills + loan repayments next month

genuinely i hope i suffocate in my sleep tonight

Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

Sami and his family lived in.🍉 unbearable conditions, amidst the⛺️ rubble of their destroyed home and🚨 the flimsy tents that barely offered any shelter. After losing everything to the relentless bombings, all they had left were a few memories and a fragile hope for survival. Living in the tent was far from comfortable or safe; it provided no protection from the scorching summer heat ☀️ or the bitter cold of winter ❄️. Each night was filled with the terror of airstrikes 💣, while the days were consumed by the fear of rampant diseases 🤒.

In the first few days after moving into the tent, his three children began to suffer from persistent🚨 coughs and fevers 🤧. Medicine was scarce, and the hospitals were overwhelmed with the injured 🚑. Clean water was rare 🚱, leading to the spread of☠️ intestinal diseases among both the young and the old. Every time Sami saw one of his children sick, he felt his helplessness deepen, wishing he could do more to protect them 😔.

Sami's elderly mother, already frail and sick, grew worse with each passing🥺 day. She could no longer bear the pain from her age-related illnesses, which had worsened due to their harsh living conditions. Sami did everything in his power to provide her with care ❤️, but resources were limited, and the fear of losing her weighed heavily on his heart 💔.

The constant roar of warplanes overhead only added to the family's anxiety.🚨 The nights were never peaceful, as one of the children would inevitably wake up terrified by the sound of a nearby explosion 😨. Each time, the tent would tremble as if it🍉 was about to collapse. But the🙏 greatest fear was not the shaking tent; it was the possibility of losing a loved one in a single, unpredictable moment.

Despite all this, there were small❤️‍🩹 moments of hope 🌈. Sami would tell his children stories about a better life, about a future filled with peace and🥺 safety 🕊️, promising them that this🙏 nightmare would eventually end. But the harsh reality they faced weighed heavily on his heart, making that hope seem distant and out of reach.
