Queer community be more normal about asexual people challenge, it can only benefit you

How do we expect to unite against the oppressor if we're too concerned with what other people do with their bodily autonomy?

How are we going to be accepting of queers, trannies, and faggots who are gnc or exist outside the realm of labels if we're too busy policing whether or not someone ~really~ belongs in the community because of their sexual orientation and preference?

How are we going to be supportive of women (trans women included ofc!! terfs die mad) if you can't stand to see an asexual woman dress provocatively without sexualizing her and accusing her of faking it?

How are we going to be supportive of men (trans men too again!!!) if you can't get past the bioessentialist notion that all men are penis-driven sex maniacs incapable of self control, so obviously if a man says he's asexual he must be lying?

How are we going to defend sex workers, majority of which are lgbtq+, if we can't confront the Raegan-era Christian purity culture that fuels so many of the harmful ideas around asexual and aromantic people??

Be more normal, be less bothered, uplift your asexual and aromantic contemporaries or die without a reciprocal lifeline of community to hold you up as well

amanormativity is so wild to me dude. like. how is friendship not a type of love. fr.

i used to have a best friend whom i loved over anything and everyone else. multiple people asked multiple times if we were a thing bc we liked to hold hands. did i want to kiss him? nah. did i want to have sex with him? also no. we were each others everything. we used to be alone together. nobody else really liked us. we were 12-16 and annoying with our interests like teenagers usually are.

i've kissed one of my friends. they were my first kiss and it happened bc i complained that i hadn't kissed anyone yet and they went "well if u wanna". we were a bit tipsy and sitting in a circle with a few other friends of ours. they made sure i wouldn't regret kissing them the day after. to prove i wouldn't regret it, i kissed them again the next morning. they write beautiful prose and talk about their sex life as if they were talking about the weather.

i have a friend that i feel a lot of affection for. he was the one to give me my first cigarette and also my last. he wrote me a note telling me that he really enjoyed being around me and lent me his copy of a book i want to read. we shared a room during seminars twice already. he shares his drinks with me and i share mine with him. we gossip about other people and talk about work together. i would probably kiss him if offered.

my first best friend and i recently reconnected. i love her so much. she was such an important part of my childhood. our parents are friends which is how we never lost contact. we used to play pretend and have petty fights about everything and nothing. now that we're both adults we talk about other things like work and sex. i taught her the stoplight system. would i kiss her? probably not. but i love her all the same.

her boyfriend used to be in my math class. he'd help me with the tasks. we talked about mcyt a lot. i am his number one informant about current events in mcyt. we talked about technoblade and the dsmp. he asked my first best friend to please connect us again (he’d lost my contact info) so i could tell him about the shelby situation. the day it was announced that technoblade died, i walked out of my math class, crying. my sister found me in the hall. she'd also left the classroom crying. he came to sit with us and keep us company. i love him. he’s like a cat to me. would i kiss him? maybe. i wouldn’t be opposed to it.

there is a boy i had a crush on in high-school. i've seen him twice since we graduated. he's punk and pretty and has a very cute lisp. we didn't talk much but when we did, we talked about how he had scratched off a sticker covering an antifa sticker (or a fridays for future sticker. i can’t remember. something along those lines). we talked about our experiences with gender and confusing strangers in bathrooms and elsewhere. compared those experiences considering he is cis and i am trans. i miss him a lot but don't know how to start a conversation with him considering we weren't friends in high school. i want to kiss him. i really want to kiss him. and hold him. i don’t know if that’s ever going to happen.

there is a person i might move in with soon. our friendship is very new. they like to tease me and i push back. we playfight and steal each others hats. i’ve never had a friendship like that. they tend to get over-excited just like me. i feel carefree with them. bad jokes and banter. we're both in the local pride-parade-organisation-team and are very involved in the community around us. they make me happy. i love them. apart from the fact that they have a gf: i would not kiss them.

Of course I'm aromantic, fairy tail was a core part of my childhood

On a completely unrelated note being aroace and being a big fan of bad guys, since a good amount of talk is about how hot said villain is
