Being ace is just: totally forget about sex and when something reminds you of it you're just like "what? does it still exist in this world?"

“This story puts a strong emphasis on platonic relationships being valuable and powerful and it makes me feel sad how the most of the fandom ignores that just to ship” is not an attack btw.

I finally felt represented. I finally found a story where romance and rose relationships were not only largely irrelevant, but barely even presentin the story. And it was sci-fi? And the two main characters are autistic-coded? And it’s super hopeful? It was like it was tailor made just for me! I was so excited to share my love of the story with others, and celebrate platonic relationships and hope and science and joy, and instead all I see is shipping.

And no matter how many individual ship tags I block, I still see the shipping content. It’s inescapable. I can’t block every single fathomable ship tag*. I just want to feel happy about the implied aroace positivity and instead I’m surrounded by amatonormativity and compulsory sexuality and allonormativity and sex and romance (and I’m rose-averse and sometimes even rose-repulsed!) and if I say anything about it, I’m villainized and mocked and accused to fandom policing.

I just want to be able to escape the shipping and find the other people who enjoy the aspec narrative as an aspec narrative. That’s literally it. But if I say “hmm maybe people should consider if amatonormativity is impacting their perceptions” I’m the problem.

*Even when I try to add filters for all the ships of this character, browsing his aroace tag looks like this for me: "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" "This post contains filtered tags" etc

This tagging thing applies to several fandoms I'm in btw.

It would actually be awesome if we got representation for sex-favorable asexual people like that would rock but I cannot trust allosexual writers to do that like at all. It would just be "oh I thought I was asexual but then I met the love of my life who fixed me!"

Think we should bring back REG as a term. It stands for Reactionary Exclusionary Gatekeeper. It's why every round of exclusionary discourse that denies a specific groups' oppression and places in the community follows the same rhetoric because regs are regs are regs. Deny the group faces any specific oppression for their identity, attack any and all vocabulary so they can't discuss it, say what they do face is really just misogyny/homophobia/transphobia, say they're incapable of recognizing their own experiences, say they're just desperate to be oppressed, and really oppressed the real queer people. Rinse repeate. Fall silent once the pendulum swings towards acceptance until a new target reveals itself.

Regs are regs are regs.

"Not dating or having sex isn't even a source of discrimination in real life-" How many rights and benefits are tied up in marriage contracts though? How much of our economic and societal structure is built with the clear expectation that people couple up and support each other? Where's the security nets and affordable options for people who will never have a partner/spouse to take care of them? How many people save serious commitment only for people they have a romantic and sexual relationship with? How many people will unquestionably prioritize their sexual and romantic relationship above all other social connections in their lives? And where does that leave the people who don't want that at all, ever?

I never saw people say stuff like this enough when I was a teenager, so I’m saying it now.

I’m in my mid-thirties and I have never had sex. I’ve thought about it and could have had one or two opportunities if I put in more effort, but I always decided against it because I just wasn’t into it at the time.

I can safely say that I do not feel I have missed out on anything. I was perfectly capable, by myself, of learning about my own body and boundaries without anyone else there to muddy the waters. The immense pressure that was there in my teens/twenties to Have Sex Just Do It is basically gone. I’m vibing. I’ve got my routine by myself in bed that I enjoy, and that’s enough for me.

And in the unlikely event that I ever decide to have sex with someone in the future, I don’t feel at all like I’m lacking some essential Knowledge or Skill that would “make it good” for someone else. I fully expect to ask my partner out loud what they like and to receive an answer clearly communicated and to relax and have fun. And if it’s a disappointing experience, I’m fine with that too. It is what it is.

Sex is just not that big of a deal. I suspected it as a teen, and I’m more sure of it now. It’s fine to have it or not have it. It’s whatever.

story where a princess is “cursed” to never find love but she’s aromantic so she really dgaf about that shit and it’s the least important thing in the book

[thebeautyofblackneutrality]

saw a twitter post about how a non-binary person was bothered by people sayin’ “they is” instead of “they are” and it’s definitely a reason why i created this blog and the blacknbculture blog. no matter how pro-black or anti-racism a white nigga will be they will always find some way to criticize “ghetto”, “trashy”, or “lazy” ways of speakin’ and bein’.

i cannot speak my dialect around white without havin’ to assimilate unless i want people to mock me or just laugh at everything i say, even if i’m actually mad. other times, i just feel like i come off as rude to white people. in english i see examples of my native dialect be used as a “incorrect examples” of Real English. the reason i write in my dialect is so i don’t lose it bein’ surrounded by so many white people who only tolerate me as long as i throw my culture away. usin’ “is” instead of “are” in African American English (AAE) is the most common feature in the dialect i’d argue it’s part of what make it so distinct, along with the accent as well. i will not be fooled by white people bothered by grammar, cause 99% it’s racism they probably don’t even know of.

so, i will be sayin’ “they is”, actually. and i’ll say it proudly.

When I was 16, I went to the doctor for widespread, full body pain. My doctor took one look at me and dismissed my medical concerns as a purely hormonal issue. According to her, my natural, unshaven legs were "abnormally hairy" for a girl my age. She ignored everything I had to say and referred me to a gynecologist.

Just hours later, I was hospitalized for my pain, which was now accompanied by a fever and a heart rate of 160 BPM. I was confused and disoriented, and every blood test pointed towards high levels of inflammation. The doctors, in their report, attributed my symptoms to sepsis.

That wasn't my first time experiencing transphobia in American healthcare hell, but it is by far the most obvious example. My doctor didn't care that I was in pain. She only cared that I, a nonbinary teenager with an F on their birth certificate, didn't meet her expectations of femininity.

This is why it pisses me off when people tell me I'm not really trans, or that I don't experience transphobia as a nonbinary person. I could have fucking died that day, purely because my doctor couldn't see past my nonbinary identity and gender expression.
