And she gets SO EXCITED to hear about you being ace too! Be still her beating heart! Her narrative of thinking something was wrong with her and how others called her cold struck me as even though I never encountered that (I have always only ever been fiercely me and sure of me whatever that was), I've had friends who went through the same thing. It felt a LOT like talking to my friends about being ace who didn't know it was a thing or that they might also be ace. Oh and how she lights up when you remember she doesn't like beer. I would die for this child. I know she's 28 (and therefore older than me), but I would die for her. And oh shit a bioware romance without that weird uncomfortable sex scene? Like even if I were into that... I remember my first time playing mass effect. Those aren't pleasant. I was very grateful that Josie's end romance scene wasn't of the soft core sex variety... I don't ever want to see another bioware butt ever again in my li...

All I can say for sure about you is that being yourself is not a bad thing. If you're asexual, great! If not, great! Like u/TheGoldenDragoness10 said... You decide which label is right for you Heck, you don't even have to decide, now or ever. Labels are just labels: nice to have, but far from necessary. If you're still scared, I'd suggest spending some time on r/asexuality and related subreddits like r/aaaaaaacccccccce as well as https://www.asexuality.org/ . That way you can get familiarized with terminology, common ace experiences, and ofc memes :). You're far from alone here <3 April 08, 2020 at 12:15AM

ACES CAN STILL HAVE ROMANCE DAMMIT Also it's a disney movie for kids, WHY would the characters express any kind of sexuality. that's NOT for kids. April 08, 2020 at 12:10AM

No prob bob edit I can’t stop smiling because of this comment so thank you as well April 08, 2020 at 12:05AM

You said it yourself, no one knows who we are. We’re oppressed by the people who do, and they say we don’t exist. Plus it’s “oppressed.” With two Ps. April 08, 2020 at 12:05AM

Because I'm sick of seeing this shit on the front page. Everyone wants to be an opressed minority, except the actual opressed minorities. Why do you want visibility? You just want people to know who you are so you can bitch about being opressed. April 08, 2020 at 12:04AM

There are actually a lot of issues of discrimination against ace and aro people out there and human rights issues that are just as significt to aces as the other letters of the LGBT+ acronym, that get dismissed because they're not The Big One, same-sex marriage. Going by a 2017 national LGBT survey by the Government Equalities Offices , asexual people are as likely as other non-heterosexual sexual orientations to experience: Verbal harassment Coercive or controlling domestic behavior Sexual harassment or violence Discriminatory behavior in the workplace Being offered or undergoing conversion therapy Asexuals also had the lowest employment rates of all orientations surveyed, lowest rates of access to public healthcare, and were the only sexuality demographic that reported getting a negative response more often than a positive response when disclosing their orientation to healthcare workers. Here's a 2015 AAU survey on sexual assault and misconduct on university campu...
