ACE/ARO ADVICE

This blog is a safe place for all of those on the asexual/aromantic spectrum (or just those who are curious) to ask for advice on these orientations. Keep in mind that we can provide you with facts and tips, but only you will know whether or not they apply to you.

You can be childish and asexual. You can be naive and asexual. You can like things that kids like and still be a perfectly valid, perfectly wonderful asexual. You are not bad for being ace and liking what you like.

The A is for you, and has been for years. LGBTQIA+ spaces are for you, and have been for years. You belong here. We belong here. Every ace person belongs here.

I think there was a typo, and you mean “intentionally awesome”.

Hope you guys get some use of these!

Even if you have never faced hardship because of your ace orientation, you deserve to have a word for your experiences. Even if you never face hardship because of your ace orientation, you deserve a place in the wider community of non-straight people.

Text reads: ”Agnes identifies as aromantic, and sometimes feels bothered by people saying she should just “get a husband.” Agnes, there is nothing wrong with not being interested in this kind of relationship. You can live your identity and your feelings in your own way!”]

Dear Ace/Aro People of Color

I love you all very much. I hope that your day is fantastic, and free of hate. Your experiences and feelings are valid, and your voices are especially welcome in our community. You are all fantastic, wonderful human beings, and I hope you know that you mean the world to me.

It’s 1:28 am where I am now… These took quite a while.

And also thank you to the lovely model used for demiguy. They were kind enough to send me selfies to use as reference since I was stuck with the poses <3

Shout out to ace girls out there struggling because society writes off their asexuality because “girls aren’t supposed to like sex”!

Shout out to ace girls of color who are hypersexualized by western society and are told they can’t be ace because of their race!

Shout out to trans ace girls who can’t tell if body dysphoria causes their asexuality or if they would identify as ace anyway!

Shout out to neurodivergent ace girls that have their asexuality invalidated by counselors as being “just a symptom”!

Shout out to physically ill ace girls who put up with people always “blaming” their asexuality on their illness!

Shout out to ace girls with lots of intersecting identities that too often get ignored!

Shout out to ace girls! You’re all beautiful and valid and deserve love. :)

My dear asexual child,

Of course you belong into the lgbt+ community. You are part of my family. 

With all my love,

Your Tumblr Mom who now virtually adopted you as her lgbt+ kid

No one can decide what you want for yourself. That is entirely up to you.
