Being asexual and racist is embarassing as fuck. Being racist at all is obviously embarassing as fuck but the amount of racism and especially antiblackness i have been seeing from asexuals recently is obscene.
One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.
And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.
Edit: why are you all too scared to repost this. Cmon. Be vocal about being against racism
today is the ten year anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub shooting. a full decade ago, i lost a friend and a coworker. i was lucky. i had friends that lost several people. today, please remember and fight for all those that have died to live the life they should have been free to. i'll always remember you, Cory.
Men should get sluttier and show off their tits and asses more and also let me bite and touch their tummies and thighs whenever I want. Let me know what u guys think of this idea.
Happy Pride Month!
We are still on hiatus, but we wanted to wish everyone a Happy Pride Month!!! :) Celebrate to your heart's content! (Though it's not like you can't do that every other month hehe.) Show those aphobes, homophobes, transphobes, queerphobes, etc. who's boss! :)
hi! I'm not sure whether you're still into law and order or not, but if you have anymore jack mccoy/claire kincaid headcanons (or just jack mccoy headcanons hehe) I'd love to hear them! your other ones were so good :]
Wow, I think it's my first time someone on Tumblr asked me this, and I'm cool with it.
To answer your question anon, I'm not into Law and Order now due to work and school commitments. I'm sorry. I'm pretty sure that I have some unfinished fanfiction that needs to be written, but here's the thing:
I procrastinate a lot and don't feel like writing anything for this fandom because I'm terrible at writing and don't know many of the words, so I don't want to stress myself or put too much effort into it.
Once again, I'm sorry and apologize if that makes you down. I'm not great at this. :(
Shoutout to the asexuals who:
do NOT like sex, even with someone you love
will NEVER have sex, not even 'to find out if you enjoy it,' because you don't want to
have NO curiosity about sex and do not write, read, or enjoy smut
are SEX-REPULSED and have to beg your friends to stop talking about their sex lives in graphic detail when you're together
You are not broken, weird, or alien
Your boundaries are real, and valid, and you deserve for them to be respected
You deserve to be both treated and regarded as an Adult by your sex-having peers
If any of your sex-having or sex-wanting peers cannot or will not regard you as an Adult and as a complete person because of your asexuality, your indifference to sex, your revulsion for sex, or your virginity, I need you to know something:
They are in fact the living, breathing proof that having sex does not grant either maturity or a fuller understanding of human nature.
You're okay. I promise.
āyeah i read a lot!ā
āoh awesome! What books do you read?ā
strauss: and whatās it like having agent morgan as a subordinate?
hotch: well, heās a bit of a wild card, you know. keeps me on my knees
hotch: i mean toes
strauss: what
hotch: what
Canon. 100%.
Sex is morally neutral.
I'm going to say that again - sex is morally neutral. It's an action some people enjoy partaking in, like gardening or bowling or driving or dancing or holding hands or hugging.
And this applies to everyone. There is no trait about yourself that magically makes sex immoral. Not your race, not your (dis)ability, not your sexuality, nothing.
Obligatory disclaimer that obviously age is not included with this, because for some reason y'all love to assume sex positivity = pedophilia like a bunch of homophobic concervatives.
You're allowed to like sex. You're allowed to want sex. You're allowed to want vanilla sex or wild, freaky kinky sex. You're allowed to want both kinds of sex, or something in between. You're allowed to want to talk about sex. You're allowed to want to read about sex, both academically and smut. You're allowed to engage with sex in the ways that are pleasurable for you.
Sex is morally neutral. You don't have to feel bad for wanting it or enjoying it. It's *supposed* to be enjoyable. It's supposed to be fun. It's supposed to feel good physically and emotionally.
You're allowed to like sex.
Here's me begging people again to learn the difference because I've been seeing more and more people confuse these terms when discussing some things in the ace community:
Sex-Favorable - A descriptor that refers to a person's personal feelings about engaging in the act of sex that specifically refers to them being fine and even enthusiastic in engaging in sex and other sexual acts. Often confused by some as Sex-Positivity.
Sex-Positive - A moral or political position that refers to a positive outlook on sex as something positive and something that should not be shamed for any consenting persons regardless of their own personal feelings towards sexual acts on themselves.
Sex-Indifferent - A descriptor that refers to a person's personal feelings about engaging in the act of sex that specifically refers to them being indifferent in engaging in sex and other sexual acts.
Sex-Neutral - A moral or political position that refers to an indifferent outlook on sex. They may not have strong feelings about it one way or another.
Sex-Averse - A descriptor that refers to a person's personal feelings about engaging in the act of sex that specifically refers to them being averse in engaging in sex and other sexual acts. Often confused by some as sex-repulsion.
Sex-Repulsed - A descriptor that refers to a person's personal feelings about engaging in the act of sex that specifically refers to them being repulsed or disgusted by thoughts or material related to sex. This has no bearing on their own political/moral position on sex. Often confused by some as Sex-Aversion or even Sex-Negativity.
Sex-Negative - A moral or political position that refers to a negative view on sex as something negative and something that should be forbidden and only be a means of procreation. Some people who are sex-negative may only view it as a way to procreate so people who engage in the activity without any plans of procreation (and especially members of the queer community) may be deemed as immoral or even evil.
If we're going to have proper discussions of these things, please please please can we use the proper terms. I need to stop feeling fight or flight whenever I see someone trying to vent about "some rude sex-positive aces" or see someone proclaim that they're "sex-negative" like I'm serious. I keep on having to double-take whenever I have to read posts and discussions because of this.
Happy ace week to asexual women, who are too often treated as āfrigid bitches who need to suck it up and tend to their partnersā sexual needs.ā Happy ace week to asexual men ā and especially asexual trans men ā whose asexuality is too often treated as something that makes them less of a man. Happy ace week to asexual nonbinary and genderqueer people, who are too often written off as ājust trying to be special.ā Happy ace week to disabled aces, whose ability to know their sexual orientation is too often called into question and whose asexuality is too often treated as less legitimate than the asexuality of able bodied neurotypicals. Happy ace week to aces of color, who are too often fetishized and treated as less ace than white aces. Happy ace week to trans and intersex ace, whose bodies are so often treated as obscene, who are so often asked invasive questions about their bodies and sex lives which would be uncomfortable even if they werenāt ace.
May we someday live in a world that respects the right to say no forever, to never consent to sex. May we someday live in a world where it isnāt treated as a rejection to not feel sexually attracted to a romantic and/or sexual partner. May we someday live in a world where asexuality is treated not as a problem to be fixed but as a normal variation of human sexuality. May we someday live in a world where people learn to stop conflating their own sexual desire towards a person with that person being allosexual. May we someday live in a world that respects asexuality.
Happy Ace Week to all my fellow Acespec people~! š¤š©¶š¤š
If you live in the USA and you're pleading for donations to pay your rent, bills, or get food then dial 211! Please dial 211 before the last minute!
It's a toll free service with people who will help you find programs in your community to pay those bills, find food, and find housing! They will give you numbers to call so you can get help.
It is not 100% foolproof. Their job is to direct you to a program they believe will help your current issue, but it's still a step up from praying random strangers online will give you enough cash before a deadline! The added benefit of these community programs, which get funded by the local government most of the time, is if there are more people using them then they can get more money to help more people.
You're not taking resources from other people if you use your community services. Your taxes pay for them. Use them.
Dial 211 first to see if they can help, and if for some reason they can't, then make your donation posts!
https://www.211.org/
Hi I work for my state's 211 service. It really breaks my heart how many people only know to call us at the last minute. 211's can provide a whole wealth of resources to use before things ever get to a cut off utility, eviction, or homelessness!
I can't speak for all 211's but most should also have a website detailing all the agencies in their database. if you don't like phone calls, this can be something to reference instead.
If you don't have health insurance but you need to see a doctor, reference 211! We list clinics that provide free or discounted general care, vision, and dental services to low income households and people without insurance! Many hospitals also have financial aid policies that can severely reduce your bill if you had an expensive procedure!
If you're stuck in a dead end job or need educational resources reference 211! There are a lot of programs focused on providing basic adult education as well as trade skills or other high demand fields! State governments are generally more interested in funneling people into work than providing benefits, but you can still use this to your advantage especially if you have some form of disability but are still able to work. That includes if you're neurodiverse or have mental health issues! Most of these programs are extremely underutilized.
If you believe you qualify for public benefits but the bureaucracy of the process is in your way, reference 211! There are agencies specifically geared towards helping people obtain the benefits they qualify for- for free!
If you need help with your taxes-
If you need help finding a pro bono lawyer-
If you need help finding affordable housing/section 8 housing-
If you need help finding food pantries-
If you need help paying for your prescriptions-
If you need help obtaining disability aids or assistive technology-
If you need help finding transportation options-
If you need help following a natural or personal disaster (like a home fire)-
If you need help repairing a home you or your family owns or it needs modifications to be accessible-
If you need Queer resources-
Reference your 211!!!!!
I had no idea what 211 was before working for it but I wish I had. I've learned so much about what resources are actually available to the community even in a ho hum area of the country like my state. I've saved my partner literally thousands of dollars just from the medical resources I've gathered.
Not enough young people know about or utilize these services but they are there for you!
P. S.
This isn't an intended use of 211, but I like to reference the agency listings when I look for jobs. Many of the agencies listed are non-profits which, while they certainly are not perfect, generally have lower barriers of entry to decent paying jobs with benefits. The work environments tend to be much kinder and at least pretend to be forward thinking. You're more likely to find jobs without as many people applying as well, especially if they're only advertising their positions through their own website.
Get help paying bills, finding food, and locating other resources near you. Call 211 now for confidential help from a caring expert.
Oh my goodness. Sharing this because maybe your state has something to help you see a dentist! If it's been a while, please see I'd you have any dental services in your area. It's really so important to see a dentist.
Reblog if you genuinely support asexuals
It terrifies me that thereās so much raging passion in the lgbt+ community that insist on marginalizing asexuals and implying that asexuals donāt deserve to have safe spaces. Thereās still so much acephobia so I just wanna know which blogs are genuinely supportive and a safe space for asexuals
All asexual and ace-spec folks are welcome and safe here! This also applies to aro and aro-spec friends too! Dragons are the aspec mascot for a reason, and itās not because we wonāt beat your ass if you bring acephobic bullshit to us!
Demi myself, I sometimes reflect on this notion that ace aro aspec arospec etc ppl are not welcomed by the queer community.
yes, I do feel alienated from the queer community to a level. for example, I go to a lot of queer parties, but they are usually Sex parties, or Sex focused. the concept of queerness in these contexts is validated thru Sex. Homosexual Sex. since Iām aspec but not ace, I can sometimes identify with the Sex focus within queer spaces and sometimes not. I did stop going to queer parties as often because of this Sex focus and how it made me feel weirdly alienated and closeted.
at the same time, I havenāt had many conversations with queer people about ace/aro queers and whether they do or donāt belong in the alphabet mafiaā¦ for the reason that SO MANY QUEER PEOPLE DONT KNOW THAT THESE IDENTITIES EVEN EXIST.
like bet, if some is cis and L, G, or B, the likelihood that they know much about the ace/aro community, or even know ace/aro people exist, is slim. Trans and Gender Queer people more often know.
I have come out to/talked about being Demi to a very small amount of people and let me tell you. Most of them have never even heard of it before.
