I just find this on Instagram. I hope it'll help some aroace here, because it didn't help me.

amatonormativity isn't something that affects only aro people. it affects all people, aspec or not, queer or not. you can be cishetallo and still be affected by amatonormativity because you're told that being single is bad. amatonormativity isn't a new queer buzzword made for a select few people, it's an actual societal assumption that affects everyone.

Polyamorous relationships are not for everyone. Monogamous relationships are not for everyone. Romantic relationships are not for everyone!!! We are all different people with different needs, maybe just stop trying to condense the human experience into a homogenous gray monolith!!! aaaaaaaa

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

I've learned to answer that question very well. I always start laughing and then say "Thank God no!" and while they're waiting for me to ask them if they do, I don't say anything.

I love their face after like WTF?!

Tonight I cried because my group of friends sent in the group chat that they will get me a girlfriend. I don’t want a partner, I don’t need a romantic relationship. I know it’s with good intentions because they still struggle to understand what being AroAce means, specially since I’ve mentioned girls are pretty before and aesthetically I prefer them rather than men and my friends ARE trying even if it’s just by listening to me but… I can’t help but feel sad and misunderstood right now. I told them I didn’t want a romantic relationship and didn’t need a girlfriend, and they went silent. UGH 😭

Amatonormativity is people thinking you’re being flirty when you just give them a compliment and treat them with kindness

actually hey btw, reminder that aromantic men and asexual men, like,,,, exist? and that just bc theyre men doesnt make their lack of romantic and/or sexual feelings "shallow" or "fake." i promise that men aren't always trying to trick you or lie to you or whatever, and denying aro/ace men's existence and validity only continues to hurt the entirety of the queer community.

Defined by having little to no sexual attraction to any person of any gender, #asexuality can be both an orientation on its own as well as an umbrella term. ☂

This Is Me from The Greatest Showman

As a queer person, what is a song that shouldn’t but does affect you so much because you relate it to your queerness? I’ll go first. Mine is Show Yourself from Frozen 2, I would cry every time I heard it while I figuring myself out

I’ve just realised I’m 8 months away from being able to say that I haven’t had sex with another person in my entire 20s and I have high hopes that I am going to achieve this 🎉

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing
