"can i identify as aro even if-" you can do whatever you want forever👍

as much as I understand why the recent wave of trans solidarity posts are being made (to fight off radfems trying to turn transmascs and transfems against each other) I do find it frustrating that nonbinary people are mentioned only very briefly, if at all. and in that brief mention we're rarely mentioned rarely by name, it's usually written like "transmascs and transfems and all trans people", which... I understand, begrudgingly. being nonbinary isn't a monolith and nor is it a "third option" to trans men and trans women. but sometimes I do feel like people really do keep forgetting that trans people exist outside the transmasc/transfem false dichotomy.

you can make anything aromantic. as a matter of fact, you should

[jjengafishy]

happy pride to my fellow aromantic allosexuals this year ^-^ you're all awesome! i often feel like a horse when it comes to my own identity... perhaps this will identify with whomever else is out there. have a wonderful pride. get louder about aromanticism or die <3

[pineappical]

“there are always more fish in the sea!” babe no offense but i just really sincerely do not want to go fishing

[knifearo]

from some of the comments i am seeing about having a hard time with fishing or wanting to fish in a specific way or looking for a white whale or wanting to skip the fishing and go straight to having a fish i feel i need to clarify the metaphor. this is not about the fishing itself to me as much as the fish. there’s this whole societal thing that pushes people to feel like they should be eating fish all the time and while fish are awesome for some people!! and while some people Want fish but don’t like the pressure about it!! i do not like fish i do not want fish and in fact i often feel as if i may exhibit an allergic reaction to seafood

And stay safe everyone!

we need to normalize a tradition where nonpartnering aros are like "hey, i'm officially never getting married, please come to this party and give me whatever kitchenware you would have bought me for a wedding"

[exhuastedpigeon]

Happy Pride all the queers in my phone. But an extra happy pride to all the bisexuals in straight passing relationships. To the trans people still living in the closet for their safety. To the nonbinary people getting misgendered. To the ace and aro people who sometimes feel like Pride isn’t for them. To the BIPOC people who face discrimination in the queer community. To everyone who feels like they aren’t queer enough.

You are enough. Pride is for you.

[aromanticofficial]

it's pride month!! you know what that means

everyone get more aromantic NOW

[ravioliet]

"why can't they just be friends?" not in the homophobic sense, but in the "in your need to center romance in everything you are missing the whole point of the media in question" sense

[ale-arro]

honestly the way we talk about "being in love" is so bizarre to me. you mean there's a secret, more intense kind of love that's only available in romantic relationships? romantic relationships, which vary immensely in form across cultures and time and don't even exist universally? but there's a special, unique emotion that you can only unlock through romance? you expect me to believe that?
