Considering the disgusting rhetoric that keeps getting posted in our tags, I implore all aspecs to spread positivity for people all across the asexual and aromantic spectrums.

This is an incredible, compassionate community, and it includes everyone on the spectrum, including

Asexuals who experience little sexual attraction (as per the accepted definition of asexuality)

Asexuals who experience sexual attraction in a non-normative way (as per the accepted definition of asexuality)

Asexuals who experience no sexual attraction (as per the accepted definition of asexuality)

Aromantics who experience little romantic attraction (as per the accepted definition of aromanticism)

Aromantics who experience romantic attraction in a non-normative way (as per the accepted definition of aromanticism)

Aromantics who experience no romantic attractions (as per the accepted definition of aromanticism)

Aegosexuals and Aegoromantics

Apothisexuals and Apothiromantics

Cupiosexuals and Cupioromantics

Demisexuals and Demiromantics

Fraysexuals and Frayromantics

Graysexuals and Grayromantics

And more!!!

You are all welcomed and appreciated in the aspec community. You are not pushing us* out of our spaces, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

*Us meaning asexuals and/or aromantics who experience a complete lack of sexual and/or romantic attraction. I refuse to call it being ""actually asexual"" for the reasons @aroacesafeplaceforall has outlined many a time

I woke up with a sore throat and some asthma troubles, but I want to contribute towards getting the aro/ace tags trending. Pardon the weird audio quality.

Thank you to @pinnakoladda for Rickrolling my timeline and waking my dormant music hyperfixation.

I love that I got so hyped, I couldn't edit out how loudly I turned my echo dial. 😭

Edit: The aro antics have been accomplished! >:D

Acespec: An umbrella term for anyone who is on the asexual spectrum

Aspec people who use the label “queer”, you’re so important. I’m glad you exist.

Aspec people who would use the label but feel they can’t because of aphobia, I’m so sorry. I wish you safety and peace.

Aspec people in general, I hope you’re having a good day. You deserve a community that accepts you.

From your local ace and arospec gay + trans person: ily cis & straight aspecs and I hope y’all have a wonderful day, you get used as a scapegoat and get caught up in so much lgbtq+ discourse and just know you’re always welcome here <3

This is for the grey-aces, greyros, demis, angled and oriented aroaces, and people think they might be one of the former, who struggle to talk about the times that they do experience attraction (of any kind) for fear that it will cause people to question their identities.

You are 100% welcome in this community. You do not stop being aspec during the times when you experience attraction, even if you are an aro experiencing romantic attraction or an ace experiencing sexual attraction. You remain aspec for as long as you identify that way.

This is especially for those of you whose attraction is hetero(sexual/romantic/alterous/etc). You are not in any way less worthy of a place in this community than somebody who is attracted to people of the same/all genders. You are just as allowed to talk about your own attraction as they are theirs. You do not deserve to be made to feel bad about it.

Ace-spec aces, aro-spec aros, demi aces and aros, and people who experience tertiary attraction are amazing (💜💚💜💚) and should not be made to feel uncomfortable about experiencing/discussing attraction.
