Happy ace week to asexual women, who are too often treated as âfrigid bitches who need to suck it up and tend to their partnersâ sexual needs.â Happy ace week to asexual men â and especially asexual trans men â 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 âjust trying to be special.â 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 werenât 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 isnât 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.
