Can you explain examples 1&2 in the SAM listed towards the end of the ppt? September 13, 2023 at 10:39PM

Not fully. Many of my family members aren't that supportive and will freak out if I tell them I'm anything but fully straight. I've only come out to my nephew and he's fully accepting of me being ace. September 13, 2023 at 10:37PM

That’s wild. I’ve never heard that before. How would they enforce that, lmao? I’m from MS and we’re way more conservative than Texas and we don’t have laws like that. September 13, 2023 at 10:34PM

I'm sorry you had this experience, and in fact, I've wondered about some version of the same. I'm from a traditional " arranged marriage" culture, and my mom was always stressing the importance of having an impeccable reputation. Which meant repressing any signs of sexuality. I've often wondered whether the consistent "self numbing" had anything to do with my asexuality. September 13, 2023 at 10:34PM

Apparently you're only allowed 5. I don't know the specific details, though. September 13, 2023 at 10:33PM
