Fun facts about my first kiss: The girl was a secretary for a cult in the midwestern United States, she admitted during our month-long 'fling' to one attempted murder, and at one point early in our relationship (if it can be called that), she invited me over to her flat to 'play Mario Kart' while her roommate was away. When I excitedly brought my Nintendo Switch, she was shocked. I ended up leaving the flat shortly after, as it turns out there had been a misunderstanding.
I am Asexual and Aro-Spec. I've been out as one of those two things (often switching back and forth between them as I worked things out) for more than a decade now. It was the first kind of queer that I was openly, as far back as High School.
My first Queer meetup I attended branded me an ally as opposed to a member because Asexuality wasn't considered a kind of 'true' queerness. Let me be clear. Asexuals are queer. Aromantic people are queer. Gatekeeping doesn't help the queer community, it makes us more vulnerable.
One other experience I've had regarding my Asexuality? I've had people (family) suggest that I should start rounds of testosterone to 'fix' it. Asexuality is a normal, beautiful way to be that doesn't need to be fixed.
