ace affirmations #1

Lasst Euch nicht täuschen! Ihr seid:

gorgeous ace

wunderschön, großartig, hinreißend, umwerfend

(Ist noch ein bisschen zu früh für einen Lehrmoment über die oft inhärente Desexualisierung asexueller Menschen & das dadurch stattfindende Abwerten von Begehrlichkeit im oberflächlichen Kontext)

Einfach gesagt: Asexuelle sollten nicht als weniger attraktiv wahrgenommen werden

To all the nonbinary aces out there: You are strong. You are valid. You are all kinds of awesome. I don’t even know how one person can contain that much coolness. Keep being your amazing self!

There is no type of attraction that “makes you human”. You are human because you exist. You are valid because you exist, and that existence makes your experiences and your sexuality valid and human as well. As an asexual you are human, and more than that, you are incredible.

While it is important for us to correct those who misrepresent what asexuality is, it is also important for us to give respect and support to you if you are a  member of our community who doesn’t fit the definition we use for asexuality today, but still feels like it is an important, relevant identity for you. You are just as valid, your asexuality is just as important, and you are just as welcome here as aces who do fit that textbook definition.

People are going to say some hurtful things about your asexuality - but never think that says something against you. It says nothing about you, and everything about them, You are real and valid regardless of what people may say.

There are going to be people who don’t understand your asexuality - but it is not your job to explain it to them. If you aren’t well enough to explain, don’t feel pressured, and don’t feel pressured to make them understand. Your job is to stay safe and happy

There is a difference between recognizing that someone is attractive and feeling attracted to them. Nobody has the right to question your identity as an asexual person if you can find people aesthetically pleasing, or can recognize that they have conventionally attractive features. Nobody ever has the right to question your identity.
