Aro culture is not realizing two characters were supposed to be in love romantically until they kissed

We have this one straight friend who claims she's our ally cause homophobia is annoying (obviously) but won't call you by your name, even though she knows it, but instead she'll call you "THE lesbian /gay".

Bestie, why are you like this? 😭

#pride month is over

aro-culture-is

Aro Culture is wondering why people can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that people can be happily single

aro-culture-is

Aro culture is wanting to tell your most cherished friends something like "I want to be with you forever" or "you're everything to me" but hesitating because you know these types of confessions are typically associated with romantic love and you wonder if it'll sound weird even to someone who knows you well.

aro-culture-is

aro culture is explaining that we can find love without finding romance

cah-culture-is

suspected ncah culture is me being diagnosed with pcos like 8 years ago yet only just finding out ncah is a thing from an instagram post like a week ago. Because doctors don’t tell you. And I’m literally ashkenazi. On a related note… anybody have advice on asking doctors about getting tested? I’ve had many a things dismissed by doctors because ‘it wouldn’t make a difference if you’re diagnosed or not’ and I fear this might get a similar response since I read treatment is this same as for pcos.

Questioning NCAH culture is...

psst, while I might not have advice personally at the moment sadly— PCOS was renamed to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) recently! /info

- Grief during Pride -

6 months ago my mother died from cancer.

Don't want to talk about details, but on top of everything she was in a coma like situation, I couldn't communicate with her for about a month before she finally passed and this really messes with my brain...

Was she feeling scared or alone?

Was she okay cause she was sleeping most of the time?

Was she aware she was getting sicker?

...

She...had no clue who I really am.

I knew she wouldn't understand.

I knew she didn't want to understand.

No need to come out to her.

I already knew her beliefs.

I wasn't included.

I became a master at not living my authentic life.

I didn't know who I was because I wanted to create space for her and be her caregiver, (even though I'm the child...)

It's tough and I hate to admit it but she only loved the idea of me, in her mind, but she never really wanted to be part of my life and actually know me... this type of parent can never truly love their child...or so I read.

It wasn't love. And I have to spend the rest of my life trying to find words to explain this to little me.

And she's "lucky" in a sense cause her love can be under conditions but the same doesn't apply for me.

No matter how her rejection hurts me, no matter how good I am at choosing myself and keeping distance from such family, I can't choose not to love her.

Protecting myself and keeping my distance is pure logic but if I had one chance to save her life by let's say donating my organ, I would do it in a breath.

And it pisses me off I couldn't save her.

I want to break her graves marbles, I'm so angry (grief).

I can't unlove her like she would if she knew my sexuality.

I want to save the life of someone who doesn't believe in me, who doesn't want me to live as my original self, who doesn't think it's normal, who doesn't see me ...

I wanted to save her life and only have to check with her once per day and no giving her a clue about anything else that's going on in my life, she wasn't part of it. She wouldn't want to be anyways.

no acceptance, never stand by me and support my rights.

She wouldn't be proud of me completely.

I love that so many parents are proud of their kids and will be together with them at Pride this weekend.

I'm proud of such beautiful families and I wish mine would have been the same... thankfully, I have my own little community and support system at this stage of my life and I'm truly grateful of them.

intersexcultureis

Intersex culture is, I wanna be loud and proud about it this pride month, but also, being extremely scared of going to pride with my intersex flag because of intersexism. Also, I might meet people I'm not out to as intersex, and I'm scared of how they'd react if they learned.

intersex culture is...

i very much feel the same way. ill be going to a few pride events with my intersexuality as the focus and i do worry how people will react. but regardless i do think some things u kinda have to do scared so ill do it scared.. we can do it scared together

Planning to attend my first Pride, excited but also proud cause we are going together with the whole aro and ace community we held since September of last year and we are planning not only to celebrate our existence but also to share awareness about our community all over Athens Pride for the first time in history. 🥹
