/u/HistoricallyRekkles on Did anyone else realize they were asexual just cause of how much they hate everyone?

You might just be introverted. I’m like this. I get annoyed easily by people and most of the time I’d rather be alone. July 09, 2021 at 12:01AM

/u/Rathama on Figuring out my sexuality

I don't think that gives you a category of asexuality. That is just your aesthetic attraction. July 09, 2021 at 12:00AM

/u/AmyAlpaca on I regularly donate some money to an organization raising awareness about different sexualities and this is what they sent me as a gift ☺

/u/oogaboogaooh on Confused about my feelings

Yeah, that truly does suck. I promise that not all us asexuals are like that 😅, but there are bad apples in every batch July 08, 2021 at 11:36PM

/u/Stratus86 on Confused about my feelings

I am doing my best not to be someone who displaces my anger and resentment on people, because not everyone is like my ex. That being said I cannot pretend that being with someone who lead me on, that i loved so deeply didn’t hurt me. The betrayal i feel and the loss of all the hopes and dreams i built will carry with me for all my future relationships. July 08, 2021 at 11:34PM

/u/Stratus86 on I just want to be normal.

There are plenty of options, dating an asexual, checking in with a dr and seeing if there is an issue, and making good friendships. Just be honest and real with your expectations and limits from the get go, because it is selfish to lead someone on if they want something else. July 08, 2021 at 11:31PM

/u/oogaboogaooh on Confused about my feelings

Yeah, I don't get it. If someone who is ace does something bad and is called out for it, will they be defended simply for being ace? That doesn't seem right. That shouldn't happen for any person. July 08, 2021 at 11:28PM

/u/MKultra04 on I just want to be normal.

Im bot sure if i want to do them, i more want to not be alone kinda July 08, 2021 at 11:27PM

/u/Stratus86 on Confused about my feelings

Honestly people aren’t to inclusive to other people talking there truths. They only want their truth recognized. July 08, 2021 at 11:26PM

/u/Stratus86 on I just want to be normal.

You may be, but if you feel a desire to want those things, maybe you are not. It’s not a bad thing either way and it doesn’t hurt to make sure. July 08, 2021 at 11:26PM

/u/dangerouslyloose on Ace Couch

My fave is the genderfluid one. The trans one with the illustrations all over it is cute, just kind of twee with the pink and blue like it would work better in a kid’s bedroom. Aesthetically I loved the progress one the most (old botanic illustrations are my jam!) but only as a piece of art because it does not look enjoyable to sit on. The ace one was like “Hey, you feel comfortable with yourself? Try chilling on this sofa we covered in itchy-ass tulle.”☹️ Edit: I’m also stoked that Canada has added 2S to include First Nation Two-Spirit people. At the time of colonization, there were many North American tribes with these individuals, who were usually held in high regard and responsible for important duties like conducting rituals and resolving conflicts. The term Two-Spirit is not specific to one tribe; it is an umbrella one coined in 1990 at a meeting of First Nation groups to cancel out the other mostly colonial and offensive terms that have been used in the past.

/u/Rufus_Canis on There should be an app that blocks all the cringey “thirst trap” posts on Instagram

I don't know about on the website, but the Instagram app lets you select "not interested" on a post (located near the report option), which in addition to what you view, like and save should tailor the posts you get shown. July 08, 2021 at 11:22PM

/u/DarthCach on Second time I'm leaving ace-reddit and why we need to do better.

Yeah, I really like that idea, it could be helpful to both for users and mods. Way to show initiative! July 08, 2021 at 11:17PM

/u/gpgc_kitkat on Second time I'm leaving ace-reddit and why we need to do better.

I totally agree with your first paragraph. There is nothing wrong with hsving negative feelings about sex! And to your second paragraph: Help with the general vibe of the subreddit. I'm thinking if there are flairs people will not have to interact with content that could be alienating to them! I think I may message the mods! July 08, 2021 at 11:13PM

/u/Salt-Seaworthiness91 on Ace/aro energy on the news

Bumble has an option to find friends but I’m honestly just bad at it and it doesn’t feel right July 08, 2021 at 11:11PM

/u/Krissy_ok on I really don't get how they decide with "That changed...."

I'm Ace, married and have 2 kids. They were, in fact, conceived via ivf. So, hardly impossible. July 08, 2021 at 11:10PM

/u/DarthCach on Second time I'm leaving ace-reddit and why we need to do better.

I believe the best course of action is to encourage people to feel, think and talk about sex in a neutral way. That way we can unify those who have a negative view towards sex and those who have a positive one. Not everyone can feel positive about sex and shouldn't be considered "wrong" for not being able to, passing moral judgement on others is a huge problem in our community. ​ Help with what exactly? I could see some positives from it though, sure. Maybe you should tell the mods, they might think it's a good idea? July 08, 2021 at 11:10PM

/u/stealthily_depressed on There should be an app that blocks all the cringey “thirst trap” posts on Instagram

I get where you are coming from, but that seems a little excessive. Instagrams algorithm usually tries to adapt to what you enjoy seeing, so I personally don't get any sorts of posts like that at all, unless it's from those meme accounts that sometimes post the pictures with borderline naked girls. So overall, it's pretty easy to manage what you see or don't see. And if you come across a profile that post stuff that you don't like, just block them. It's really not that hard and it doesn't hurt anyone. July 08, 2021 at 11:09PM

/u/Throttle_Kitty on I really don't get how they decide with "That changed...."

Imagine if this just said "bisexual", and you see how bigoted it is quite clearly. You aren't "Not LGBT anymore" because you ended up in a straight passing relationship. Asexuals do have sex sometimes, especially to have a kid. What the hell is wrong with people. July 08, 2021 at 11:07PM

Everything changed when the Erasure Nation attacked. July 08, 2021 at 11:03PM
