Scene is set in a small bedroom with a closed door. TARO sits in a rocking chair and works on their final essay. ROOMMATE knocks. TARO fumbles their way out of the chair and opens the door.

ROOMMATE: Hi, sorry to bother you, I know you're working but are you going to get your laundry out?

TARO [confused]: I thought I took it out already?

TARO starts walking down the hall. ROOMMATE follows.

ROOMMATE, as TARO opens the dryer: maybe you did, I haven't checked yet.

The dryer is empty.

TARO [aside, making a Jackie Chan Confused face]: Why did you come knock on my door then?

[ID in ALT]

In 1993, a few studies found there is a genetic component to homosexuality, specifically the gene Xq28, and this had a social impact (1).

A 2019 study of over 400k people found that gayness is polymorphic—there are many genes in many locations that relate to homosexuality, and that Xq28 in particular is not necessarily the "gay gene" (2).

tell me about things that have made you happy recently! big, small, accomplishments, things you have encountered!

Being asexual and racist is embarassing as fuck. Being racist at all is obviously embarassing as fuck but the amount of racism and especially antiblackness i have been seeing from asexuals recently is obscene.

One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.

And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.

Edit: why are you all too scared to repost this. Cmon. Be vocal about being against racism
