#straight ace

This might be a hot take but I don't like the sentiment that heterosexual people aren't heterosexual anymore if they date a nonbinary person. I don't think dating a nonbinary person should need to change a monosexual person's orientation. And I'm saying this as a genderfluid boygirl. If a lesbian and a gay man can date a nonbinary person and still be who they are, then I don't think that should affect straight people regardless of gender identity. I even believe nonbinary straight people can exist the same way a nonbinary lesbian can exist. Monosexual people aren't suddenly multisexual because they have a nonbinary partner. And I don't think straight orientations are antithetical to gay ones. People can be straight in a way that's queer. That's why straight aces are still part of the queer community even if queer may not be their identity. You understand? I don't think straight trans people should have to identify as queer to be considered part of the queer community. Heteronormativity is antithetical to queerness, not straight people.

Can you be a cisgender person with straight aesthetic attraction and be on the ace/aro or both spectrums?

Absolutely! Gender or having/ lacking aesthetic attraction (finding a person cute, pretty, hot, handsome, beautiful, etc) are not factors if a person is on one or both spectrums

Shoutout to queerhet ppl whose straight/het attraction is explicitly, fully queer

Straight Asexuals do exist. And they deserve to be accepted in the community. They are valid and amazing!

Also cishet aspec people have the right to not consider themselves queer as individuals and that doesn’t mean that being aspec doesn’t inherently make you queer socially/technically.

I know older bi people who identify as bisexual and don’t consider themselves part of the community. That doesn’t mean that bi people aren’t inherently queer or part of the community. Some nonbinary people don’t identify as trans, some do. Some intersex people consider themselves part of the community, some don’t. There are straight trans people who don’t see themselves as queer.

You internet rotten brained people need to relearn the value of the concept of diversity. And also get through your thick skull that validity is not some thing that only ONE (1) group of people/form of oppression/whatever can have at a time

Ace culture is being a "straight ace" and feeling like you're not gay enough to be a part of the greater LGBTQIA+ community

If you’re straight and queer, you’re rad as hell. Those are the rules, no exceptions

[enbycourse]

If straight aces don’t exist then neither do gay aces. If straight aces can’t exist because straight implies that they’re heterosexual as well as heteromantic then gay aces can’t exist because that too implies they’re both homosexual and homormantic.

Watch this post get hate because I took away the aces fun label with the same logic they used to claim they can’t be the “boring” label
