Coming out as ace/aro
Can we all just talk about how annoying it is coming out as asexual or aromantic then immediately having to explain what it means on a general basis then how you personally fit on (what I’ve gotten I to the habit of calling ) the asexuality and aromantic spectrum and how that does not equate to chastity. I might as well have the explanation memorized at this point. (We’re not going to talk about people’s reactions or any of the other stuff at this point) just once I want to be able to say that I’m aro-ace and not define what that is.
(Don’t get me wrong I love being who I am and I like that people are willing to learn I just wish people would be taught stuff like this in school or that it was common knowledge, because I didn’t know I was aro or ace for a long time and I thought I was broken until my sister had to explain it to me)
