“protect heteroromantic aces” lmao from what? the sharknado?

from corrective rape? from mothers who are open and accepting of gay, bi, pan, etc people and still unknowingly tell their asexual children that people who don’t want sex are sick need help? from their closest friends at birthday parties starting conversations about how weird and fake asexuality is? from the fear of being alone forever because no one could want to be with someone like them? from going against sexual and relationship norms in a society that tells them they’re broken and wrong?? from people like you who delegitimize their struggles in the eyes of much of lgbt+ community, some of the only people who you’d think might understand

I had to reblog this twice bc you just got 100% fucking destroyed my dude

Just a reminder that a psychologist literally had me tested for psychopathy when I told him what asexuality was.

forkless-a-spec-wonder:

hey, by the way, being proud that you’re aro isn’t the same as saying no one else should ever be in love and people who get defensive over it when you say you’re proud to be aro are not your problem

same goes for people proud of their asexuality as well. being proud of who you are, isn’t saying nobody should ever be sexually attracted to other people.

Just a quick heads-up, because I think this needs to be said (again);

Dear young/questioning aces; 

When other people, especially older people, try to ‘educate’ you about how ‘sexuality is complicated’ and how ‘you might not be ace’ and that ‘you’re probably confused’ and that ‘you’re probably [this] instead’,

You run.

Sexuality is indeed complicated, and yes, you might not be ace. But these kinds of people couldn’t care less either way.

Helpful people give you the freedom of choice – whether that choice lasts a lifetime, or until the next morning. Helpful people give you the agency to make your own decision about your own, personal, private identity.

If someone is trying to collectively discourage questioning aces into forgoing their ace identity? That’s not helpful. That’s an illusion of help under the guise of liberation. They’re trying to make you into something they want you to be.

Whether their advice is helpful or not, to any degree, this type of gaslighting and manipulation is not what you deserve. You can get the same kind of answers and help and support from people who aren’t damaging and toxic.

Find people who will let you be ace. Find people who will let you be yourself.

The attraction ‘off switch’

I think I’ve talked about this here before but, let me tell you, it took me a really long time to realize that other people couldn’t just ‘turn off’ their attraction for someone else.

For me it was as easy as going ‘ya I don’t want to have a crush/like this person any more’ and poof! There went all my feeling towards them.

It was because of this that I never really understood why it was so hard for people I knew to just break up with someone or WHY they would keep going back to someone again and again.

Because for me there was an ‘off switch’ for my attraction to someone, because that attraction had never existed in the first place and I was just fooling myself into believing it was, while for others the attraction was a real, tangible thing that they couldn’t just turn off like it never existed.
