Something that i think is equally important to saying "asexual people aren't asexual because of trauma/body issues and asexuality isn't a phase" is saying "for some people their asexuality IS because of trauma/body issues and it might be something that can be worked through with therapy/recovery but they r still asexual" lots of ppl are asexual for lots of different reasons and u can't go around prescribing the ace experience

"Aro/aces aren't part of the lgbtq+ community , they don't face any oppression "
The LGBTQIA+ community is for people who deviate from the cishetnorm. Its for people that don't fit the image of liking the opposite gender sexually and romantically, while identifying as their AGAB.
Aros and aces don't fit into the ideal hetronormative identity therfore THEY ARE PART OF THE COMMUNITY

so my beloved friends of the ace spectrum, here’s a thing I’ve been thinking about:
i think as a demisexual person, smutty fanfiction can be fun and engaging because it’s with characters I already know and love - like there’s already an emotional bond before anything gets sexual and that’s exactly how I operate for intimacy stuff like emotional connection is needed for any sexual attraction so reading smut for a pairing I love and already know as characters is enjoyable whereas just with like two random people I am not into it
does that make sense? anyone else relate?

coming out as asexual is way harder than it should be - because the majority people still have no idea what asexuality is. plus it is very different for each person.
I always struggled with coming out - I still do! - and I thought it was because I’m too protective of my inner peace. which in a way is true, only when I used to think I was bi, or gay, I thought “when the time is right I’ll just tell people and be done with it”. guess what! every time I have considered coming out as ace I freak out because I will have to ✨explain✨.
my point is, I wish people knew about asexuality, and I’m not just talking about cishet people but also the lgbtq+ community. it would just be so much easier.
and of course, it would take the fucking shame away, because it’s time. (but that’s a whole other discussion).

Being asexual is an inherently queer experience by itself
Cishet asexuals are queer as well. Anyone who identifies with asexual is queer.

Conversation
Hidan: So ... what's it like getting fucked by a shark?
Deidara: Wow. No "Hi", no "How are you doing", you just went straight for his jugular, hm?
Hidan: Come on, we've all been thinking it. I just have the balls to ask. So, how is it?
Itachi: Not that it's any of your business, but, we don't do ... that.
Hidan: You don't fuck?
Deidara: But didn't you tell everyone last week that you guys have been dating for like 7 months? And you still haven't done it yet?
Itachi: It's not an issue of time. I'm asexual. So is Kisame.
Hidan: But how --
Itachi: It's entirely possible to want to have a relationship with another person, but not want to have sex. We hug, we kiss, we cuddle, we share things, but sex isn't something that either of us care for.
Deidara: ... and you're both fine with that?
Itachi: Yes. We love each other and that's all that truly matters.
Hidan: I respect that, red-eyes. But shit, I couldn't do that with the old bastard. If it weren't for fucking, how the hell would we settle things when we're fighting and shit?
Itachi: Have you tried open, honest communication? Sitting down with each other, talking out your problems in a calm, respectful manner?
Hidan: ...
Deidara: ...
All three: *burst out laughing*
Hidan, wiping tears from eyes: Holy Jashin, that's funny. I mean, have you even MET me??
Kakuzu, from his room: Sometimes I sure wish I hadn't.
Hidan:

About Me
I'm Geoff, a 21 year old history major and aspiring archivist. I use he/xe/xey pronouns, and I'm a crippled transsexual faggot converting to Judaism.
This blog, much like my interests, is very eclectic, and will largely consist of reblogs -- though I'm not opposed to making my own posts when the mood strikes.
I'm incredibly nerdy and love to ramble, so please don't hesitate to ask me about any of my interests! Said interests, along with more info and DNI, are under the cut. Also, please feel free to spam like and reblog, as well as message me!
* I am an adult
I'm 21, and will more than likely post adult content with NSFW text and subjects. However, I will never post explicit sexual content, gore, etc. This is your warning. Please keep this in mind if you choose to interact with or follow me!
* I'm disabled
I'm autistic, have ADHD, OCD, and OCPD. Physically, I have asthma, chronic leg and ankle pain that causes me to limp, dysautonomia, chronic fatigue, and suspected migraine disorder. I use identity first language (autistic man, disabled man, etc), and identify strongly with the cripplepunk movement. I personally don't care who uses the word cripple or identifies with the movement, but that's because I don't give a shit about slur discourse.
* I'm converting to Judaism
After five years of convincing myself out of it, I've begun the process of converting to Judaism, and will blog about it here. I have a sponsoring Conservative synagogue and will be beginning conversion classes in August. I will not share the name of my synagogue nor its location for obvious reasons. I do not and will not tolerate antisemitism, nor will I answer bad faith questions about Israel/Palestine. If you absolutely have to know my opinions, I'm pro-Palestine, pro-cohabitation, and politically antizionist and vehemently opposed to Likud and the Israeli government -- culturally and theologically, however, I am absolutely a Zionist.
To my knowledge, I do not have any Jewish heritage -- both sides of my family are strongly Catholic and are from Ireland, Germany, and Poland. If there are any Jews in my family line, we either don't know about them or they converted to Christianity.
* I do not budge about my identity
I am a transsexual crippled faggot who supports dykes, trannies, cocksuckers, muffdivers, queers, fairies, aces, aros, and who, again, does not give a shit about slur discourse within the queer community. Don't try to start that with me. You will be blocked. I loudly and proudly support all good faith queer identities. Yes, even those ones.
* Interests
As mentioned, I'm a huge huge huge nerd! Right now I'm obsessed with Doctor Who (Five is my favorite), but I'm a big sci-fi/fantasy fan in general. I also love trains and sustainable urban planning and am prone to going on rants about the absolute state of train travel in America.
* Please ask me to tag things!
I'm really bad about tagging in general, so please ask me to tag any potential triggers! I will probably forget if I'm not explicitly asked. However, I will not tag any slurs that I can reclaim or use.
DNI
Exclusionists (ALL TYPES), antisemites/islamophobes/racists/queerphobes/ableists/bigots/etc, if you think queer is a slur, if you think minorities have to be "nice" or "polite" to earn your support, if you use "Zionist" to mean "Jew I don't like", antitheists, exvangelicals/exmos/etc who refuse to deconstruct their cultural Christianity, and probably more I forgot to mention. I'm not going to humor your shit. I will block you.

Did I share this here? Let me share this here.
And share it louder for the people in the back.
Not everyone in the ace spectrum is sex-repulsed. It's a SPECTRUM.

How do you find spaces that accept sex repulsed asexuality? I have never found any. Even here on this site I get anxious going into the tag for fear of finding anti sex repulsed content. But you found actual Pride that is accepting? How? I don't even want to celebrate Pride this year because I have never been accepted, even though I accept everyone else.
I'm very sorry you've had this experience T^T I should clarify, personally, I've never been explicitly made to feel unwelcome for being sex-repulsed – well, I have in all-straight settings, because that'll happen, and I get the occasional exclusionist comment, but in prides and whatnot for me it's mainly been that people are so busy celebrating their own sexuality in possibly very sexualised ways (again, for understandable reasons) to even consider people who are sex repulsed (and who also should be considered for understandable reasons, it's pretty much a catch 22)...
That specific pride (which happens in France where I live) was recommended to me by a coworker who's very involved in all forms of fights for human rights, and who wanted to check it out but wound up not having time to go. It's mainly run by POC communities, who are also obviously part of the groups more at risk of being marginalised in such events, so I guess that's the original premise behind the fact that they make sure their pride doesn't exclude anyone, and actually puts marginalised people who may also be marginalised within the LGBTQIA+ sphere at the center of the fight (going by the principle of "if you don't accept and support us and let the far right get to us, don't think they'll stop there, they'll get to YOU later, this fight should be for ALL of us").
I was very lucky to be recommended an event that resonated so much with me (despite my whiteassness, it really did, and it was very inspiring seeing people who have it so much worse in a lot of cases be so strong, though god I hope that's a valid thing to think and I'm not experiencing this all wrong), and I must admit I never hoped I could find a space like that either. But if it could happen in France I want to believe it could happen elsewhere. I'd recommend checking out LGBTQIA+ communities/associations in your area and especially their statements of principles, if they have any. That one pride's did not leave room for doubt and it didn't disappoint. I truly hope you can find something like that as well, and in the meantime, please stay strong! It can be very tough to navigate through and I'm very sorry again that you get anxiety about possibly not feeling welcome in spaces that should be for the whole community T^T I want to believe there'll keep being progress! But in the meantime I'll be around if you need to vent, even though it's not much probably TwT

I think us asexuals should partner up with climate change and marine ecosystem deterioration because everyone seems to claim that they care and then ignore us✌️

ok fun little sappy asexuality spectrum story:
whenever I get down about how society does not normalize or facilitate learning about asexuality and I start to think negatively about prospects of relationships where I am not disappointing people, I pull up that trusted "asexual character" tag on AO3. and I read little stories about people loving asexual people and offering them space and learning together and trying things out. I find comfort in reading dialogue of affirmation and validation to asexual characters.
But to have that happen in real life?
It was beyond incredible to have these same echoes of love and respect and validation and affection said by my girlfriend. As if the things I had read could be real. The respect for asexuality and the commitment to caring about me as a person beyond that aspect of a relationship was only something I had dreamed of. Only something I had found in one-shot fanfictions written by people like me seeking representation in the safe space of fandom.
I’m just really happy. & I wanted to send some asexual hope and joy out to anyone else who is searching that “asexual character” tag on AO3 dreaming of accepting and respectful love.
