/u/Isolate-ted on Maybe next year...

Thank you so much! I'm so excited to join you guys for prode parades. Hopefully, covid goes away anytime soon. June 02, 2021 at 12:05AM

/u/Isolate-ted on Maybe next year...

Funny, I always have this imagination in my head that when I start wearing black rings and see someone also wearing a black ring, we'd look at each other and immediately know we're both aces and we'd either nod and smile as a sign of respect or shriek im excitement and immediately be friends.

I'm more mad at the missed opportunity to cast the seagull . June 02, 2021 at 12:03AM

/u/RABlackAuthor on Imposter Syndrome?

My personal opinion, certainly not universally shared (and that's okay), is that I'm not part of the LGBT community. But I'm not "normal," either. I feel like one of those little fish that swim alongside a shark, or one of those birds that ride around on an elephant or a rhino. We are such a diverse group that it makes sense for there to be differing views on whether or not we're LGBTQIA+. If it feels right, then go for it. If it doesn't, then don't worry about it.

/u/bubbles2360 on Why are people obsessed with gatekeeping?

Lol not oppressed enough yet calling an asexual a plant implies that we’re not even remotely similar to an animal cuz plants and animals are the only living things on this planet and humans are considered animals Gatekeepers are something else lol June 01, 2021 at 11:56PM

/u/SockPuppetSocrates on Why are people obsessed with gatekeeping?

It’s pretty shitty to judge other people’s mental illness, especially when you clearly know nothing about them. There are different forms of depression, many of which will only occur once, or potentially a handful of times. There are others that will reoccur repeatedly, often throughout a persons entire life. The technical term for the latter is Persistent Depressive Disorder or Dysthymia, and it is the condition referred to colloquially by non-therapists as chronic depression. It is not a joke, many of the people who suffer from it will end up committing suicide because they view it as the only possible escape from a condition that undermines their ability to enjoy anything in life, a condition that they likely don’t consider to be curable. And when they state their condition to you using this term, it’s because they’ve almost certainly had dozens of people tell them that it’s something they’ll get over, a phase, and then those people will verbally abuse them when they fail to rec...

/u/Concibar on Made a meme :3

First: a lot of aces have sex. If I fucking hate superhero movies, but my bf loves superhero movies, I might watch some superhero movies with him. Because I want to share the experience with him, because I love to see him enjoying himselves, because I know he'd like to share this with me. Or I might not because fuck superhero movies. Both are valid and the first doesn't mean I suddenly enjoy superhero movies. But even if you aren't ace afterall: Sexuality is fluid. The categories should help you understand yourself and relate to others not chain you down. I have come out as gay, then bisexual and by now I'm firmly "idk, queer is fine". It was very identity affirming to finally leave all the doubt behind and declare "I'm gay". Leaning into... ...(edit, curse my fat fingers): leaning into my gayness gave me strength. After I found out "some women give me the hots" and I'm fine with a lot of androgynous bodies I became more chill abo...

/u/spiritual_wonderer on Is coming out really all that important?

They don’t care enough to get involved in my personal life. Also dad wouldn’t react well, he doesn’t like anything LGBT related. He’d probably say something stupid and then avoid the topic for the rest of his life. June 01, 2021 at 11:46PM

/u/ParasilTheRanger on My partner just came out as asexual, what can I say to make sure they feel comfortable?

Just support them, make sure they know that they don't need to have sex with you for you to love them June 01, 2021 at 11:46PM

/u/Silent_Spirits on I finally feel confident in saying I am Gray-Asexual after years of feeling broken.

Thank you for the kind words! I'm actually studying to be an English Major so i'm glad to know my writing is well perceived lol. I totally get what you mean though. Trying to surround yourself as a way to avoid that thought in your mind that you aren't normal. I know it's hard in the sexual sence but I imagine it must've been especially hard to figure that out yourself as romance is in basically every media ever. It's not your fault for doing those things because you were confused. I imagine if I was in a similar situation I would probably have done the same. Thank you again for the nice words. I felt I needed to be open to get a sort of closure on my own feelings. I hope being open also helped you feel better! June 01, 2021 at 11:44PM

/u/dollface_fan on Google representing aces and aros for pride month!

/u/matcha_yarn on happy pride you adorable valid garlic bread-loving dorks

i am so honored and that made me so stupidly happy you have no idea q//q i’m glad i could be of service xD June 01, 2021 at 11:42PM

/u/Rathama on happy pride you adorable valid garlic bread-loving dorks

Saw your post of this on r/LGBTQ and I am glad to see it a second time on my feed. June 01, 2021 at 11:41PM

/u/Silent_Spirits on I finally feel confident in saying I am Gray-Asexual after years of feeling broken.

I more so am just gray because part of me still is feeling like I need to know more. It's more of I guess a comforting label for me. I know I'm somewhere on the spectrum I just don't really know where quite yet. I do experience sexual attraction tho rarely I just didn't mention that much as it's something I'm still working out myself. June 01, 2021 at 11:38PM

/u/Silent_Spirits on I finally feel confident in saying I am Gray-Asexual after years of feeling broken.

Of course! Sexual obsessions have made things really complicated for me but you're not alone in it. I'm thankful enough to not be sex-repulsed because I couldn't imagine how much harder it would be if I was. If you ever need to reach out to someone by the way I am always open!

/u/myfriendlarry on someone told me that only asexuals that arent heterosexual are apart of LGBTQ+ .. i don’t identify as bi, hetero, lesbian so where do i fit in? i only experience aesthetic attraction

I'm old I guess, and only just heard the term GSRM (gender, sexual, romantic minority) used to describe people who are LGBTQ+ -- I feel like that better describes my situation, because although I am an AFAB ace androphile, I certainly would never consider myself cishet, even if I "present" that way.

/u/heysuace34 on someone told me that only asexuals that arent heterosexual are apart of LGBTQ+ .. i don’t identify as bi, hetero, lesbian so where do i fit in? i only experience aesthetic attraction

Well all asexuals arent heterosexual because you cant have 2 sexualities so that person just supported asexuals in the LGBT+ community June 01, 2021 at 11:33PM

/u/iamacraftyhooker on Do Some Aces Like Abs?

I find them aesthetically pleasing and appreciate the work behind them, but they don't make me want to sleep with someone. June 01, 2021 at 11:32PM

/u/gtickno2 on President Biden

It just means he officially acknowledged pride month. It doesn't really affect things (pride month still happens whether the government acknowledges it or not), but it's a show of support to the community June 01, 2021 at 11:29PM
