Heartstopper 2x06 Isaac feels

I feel SO hard for my boy. Feeling out of place while everyone is hooking up around them, feeling more at home in fiction, wondering what it is you're missing out on, what you're supposed to be feeling, and the sense that there is something so very wrong with you.

Because why don't you feel this? Why don't you get it? Why don't you have crushes the way others do? Why are you so different and broken?

the bi/pan to asexual pipeline truly needs to be studied

[liabilityfr]

no but seriously, crush culture by conan gray is such an asexual anthem!

PSA to allos:

"Not attracted" does NOT equal "repulsed".

That's how come a-specs can have consensual sexual relationships.

You never understand how nice it feels to be understood until you are

I was with my friends and we where talking about characters and one of my friends goes “imagin understanding sexual attraction” and like it was a throw away comment but, I really felt understood for a second

Me: *Realizes I'm Aroace And People Tend To Not See Me/ See Me As A Valid Identity.*

Me: *Softly But With Feeling* I can do crime and never get caught because I 'don't exist'.....I can be aroace and do crime.

I just wanted to talk about one specific brand of aphobia that I don't think i've ever seen addressed, and that's infantilization. When I was younger (like 15) a common comment when I mentioned not being sexually attracted to anyone was oh you're just mentally too young (this was from people in the same age group). And they would treat me like a child and exclude me from conversions (you wouldn't understand, we would ruin your innocence...). Sometimes they would ask me questions about sex obviously hoping to make me umcomfortable and expecting me to know nothing about it.

I mean some of the infantilization might have come from my autistic traits as well but I feel like, asexualty just made them react similarly. I think there is a lot of over lap between ableism against autistics and ace and aro phobia.
