17 and who I need to fight
17. Worst thing someone has said to you about your identity?
All of these things were not meant to be hurtful but taking two seconds to think about them from my perspective or the perspective of an ace person in general would’ve made it pretty glaringly obvious
“sexual desire is what makes us human!!!”
the fact I don’t experience romantic or sexual attraction yet still want to get married and have a family is “suspicious”
hormone therapy might fix me
my distaste for the saturation of sexual content in media and my choice to avoid it is childish
I’ll grow out of asexuality or have to “get used to sex/suck it up” because no man is going to agree to a sexless marriage
some family members are pretty supportive of me when other people ask about or talk about my “love life” or whatever (”oh that’s not how she is” “do you know her at all?”) but often when I talk offhandedly about my feelings to them it’s back to "well you’ll have to get used to it”
