You don't need anyone's permission to identify as ace or aro or to use any ace spectrum or aro spectrum labels. Only you know what labels feel right for you or not.

For those of you wondering if you’re ace

If identifying as asexual makes you breathe a little easier...

If it feels like a weight being lifted off your chest and shoulders...

If it feels like it just makes sense somehow...

If it makes you happy...

If it sounds right in your head...

Then use it. Claim it. Make it your own. Even if only for a day. A week. A month. A couple years.

Labels aren’t tattoos. They don’t have to be permanent or perfect.

Reminder that repulsion comes in a lot of different forms. Feeling, nausea, anxiety, uncomfortable, an urge to run away, or feeling annoyed or grating can be signs of repulsion.

Gray-aros matter. And are an important part of the aro community.

[aspecpplarebeautiful]

It’s more important that a label is useful than it is that it’s 100% accurate.

Prioritizing your own mental well-being is more important than people in your life you who don’t fully accept you, or who tear you down. You’re not doing anything wrong by choosing to walk away from those people.

[aspecpplarebeautiful]

It’s fine if you can’t tell if people are attractive or not.

[aspecpplarebeautiful]

It’s your choice what attractions you want to label or not.

[aspecpplarebeautiful]

You decide what things in life are important and necessary for you. You choose your passions and what you find fulfilling. And that may include sex and/or romance, and it may not.
