5 y/o me: *constantly rants about dragons, always wants to dress up as one and absorbs the How To Train Your Dragon series like a sponge*
13 y/o me: *exploring my sexuality and labels, coming across asexual and seeing it fitted me, looking for asexuality in the media*
me now: *showing symptoms for autism and openly using the asexual label, learning what a special interest is* oh it all makes sense now

My friend @shellywith2ls found this on Pinterest during our homeroom today, and when she showed me I started dying laughing.
I asked her to send it to me and she just saved the photo and texted it to me, so I can’t properly credit the person who made this. If you see this, hi, I love this, let me know so I can properly credit you 🙃

Your honor, they are ace and in love.
(Soundwave would totally respect Meg's boundaries. Being a supportive husband 100% fits him)

i've been seeing random discourse that's completely unrelated to asexuality and aromantism in the aroace tags, this is your friendly reminder to stop tagging your shit as something it's obviously not!

Sometimes I think maybe I'm not asexual but once I got so disgusted just by the thought of having sex with someone that I almost threw up and felt light headed for at least an hour afterwards

***TW ACEPHOBIA*** TW HOMOPHOBIA *** TW TRANSPHOBIA***
For all the people that always try to debate Yasmin on Twitter, saying: "Why do aces need rights? No one is attacking you, no one cares that you're asexual"
Well, this is just a fraction of the hate we received on Facebook after publicizing our Tr(ace)y project last May:
People seem to care a lot!
Until we can post freely and unapologetically about being ace and get a much bigger ratio of support than hate, we will always keep doing the work. If this is what our project received, I can't even imagine what Yasmin gets in a day. Shoutout to the most badass ace queen ever. Always reminding us to block out the haters!
Promoting education, understanding & compassion always! 💜

snippet from the article:
Sexualities are fluid. People can move in and out of them. This is true for all sexualities, including asexuality.
Many asexual people feel they’ve always been and always will be asexual. That’s valid, but it’s not universal.
Something I’ve noticed as an asexuality studies researcher is that there’s an overcorrection that can happen in reaction to the pathologization of asexuality (aka framing asexuality as a medical condition). In a nutshell, that overcorrection involves insisting that asexuality is never related to health, disability, or trauma.
