#pride month with asexual-society

[seagull-energy]

Pink and orange is the ideal color palette and it looks really good on Morph's human look. Also I'm having a lot of fun with fabric rendering (you can probably tell)

This is the dress I used for reference. It's so pretty, I almost want one for myself...

de-normalise being “normal”

[genderqueerdykes]

i want to see more asexual, aromantic & aspectrum representation this year during pride month 2024. we've been made to feel like we're not queer at all, and when we are seen as queer, we are pushed to the VERY bottom of the priority list, seen as not as queer as others, or not a priority because we do not suffer from any kind of oppression.

i want to break the silence on this matter this year. even if an aspectrum person isn't affected by any sort of societal oppression, they still deserve to have a space to talk about how they experience their identity. having a complicated relationship or no relationship at all with romantic feelings and relationships in a society that guilt trips people into developing romantic relationships starting in their teens is not in line with our societal view of what is "normal" and "correct". constantly being told that you "haven't found the right one" is harassment.

Not experiencing sexual attraction, refusing to have sex, or having a complicated relationship with sexual feelings is 100% queer and outside of the norm in a sex-obsessed society that guilt and mocks people for not having experienced it, and at the worst of time, forces it on people, telling them that they'll have a changed opinion of they just experienced it for themselves. being guilted or forced into interacting with sexual media or having friends try to force you into sleeping with someone is harassment and assault.

having a complicated relationship with gender that results in someone feeling agender, whether they have no gender at all, or have a gender that feels partially agender and partially another gender often results in someone being told they're confused, or have no idea what they're talking about. many people refuse to acknowledge someone who totally lacks a gender identity, or identifies with gender neutrality.

aplatonic people are frequently told they are losers, or just have anxiety or are experiencing their feelings due to depression or something similar. aplatonic people are told they do not understand their own feelings, when it is a very valid experience to not experience platonic feelings or have a very complicated relationship with them that leads one to feel happier not engaging in those relationships.

these are very real issues aspectrum people face. even if an aspec person doesn't face these problems, they are still queer. they are still aromantic, asexual, agender, aplatonic, or some other like of aspec. you don't get to tell them how they experience their identity, and you don't get to tell them they're not queer or don't experience hardships and denial of their identity. i want to see more people talking about and accepting these identities in 2024. no more pushing aspectrum people to the back, we are here in the front with everyone else, shouting alongside you. we all deserve to be heard- including asexuals, aromantics, agender people, aplatonic people and other aspectrum folks. we are all shouting for our rights together. let's shout for each other, too.

[queerliblib]

Do you have any philosophy books or queer philosophy recs for Pride Month? I want to beat my philosophy professors over the head (metaphorically of course)

oooo fuck yeah okay so first thoughts are:

Feminist, Queer, Crip by Alison Kafer - envisioning new futures through environmental justice, reproductive justice, cyborg theory, transgender politics, and disability (oh here’s the audiobook of it)

Neuroqueer Heresies by Nick Walker - link is for the audio book (available) our ebook copy has a 6mo wait time 😬. By a queer autistic scholar, contains notes on the Neurodiversity Paradigm, Autistic Empowerment, and Postnormal Possibilities

The Queer Art of Failure by Jack Halberstam - about "finding alternatives-to conventional understandings of success in a heteronormative, capitalist society” through an investigation of ‘low theory’ (in contrast to ‘high theory’/‘high culture’)

okay so not all of these are traditional philosophy, per se, however they are heavier on the theorizing so if you’re hungry for more queer theory I also recommend these:

Queering Anarchism

Cruising Utopia

Identity Poetics

Who’s Afraid of Gender (any Judith Butler is worth a read though, also in audio)

Refusing Compulsory Sexuality: A Black Asexual Lens on our Sex Obsessed Culture (also in audio)

Y’all Means All: The Emerging Voices Queering Appalachia

Happy Pride Month from Anne-Marie Jekyll!

I meant to post on the first day of Pride, then the Ace day but um… My only excuse is that I’m in another country right now 😅

Here’s more Anne-Marie! Like most of my OCs, she’s asexual and falls more on the sex-repulsed side of things. I don’t know who in the society is canonically ace but in all that queer chaos, I figured Anne-Marie shall be the ace with the most sense.

Here’s how she came out to her father in a nutshell, also don’t question how Hyde’s here. He’s her father as much as Jekyll is!

In spite of Jekyll’s blunder with Jasper, he is very accepting of Anne-Marie coming out to him even though he doesn’t understand most of it. Hyde is the one who’s most confused but he comes around once he hears there’s cake involved.

Also, here’s a picture of Lanyon trying to be a good uncle:

[no-passaran]

Happy Pride month! Here are some things I want as an asexual person:

Protect asexuals seeking asylum. Asexual asylum seekers still aren't accepted because asylum laws only include the strict l, g, b and t letters. Many asexual people around the world are forced into marriage, threatened, subjected to corrective rape and pseudoscientific conversion "therapies". Include the A in the acronym and it will save lives.

Affordable housing. Many asexual and aromantic people do not establish romantic relationships with a partner. The current housing model is a disaster for all the working class, but even more so for people who want to (or have to) live alone. People should be able to afford their own housing with 1 person's wages.

Housing for households outside the nuclear family. Many asexual and aromantic people decide to live with friends, QPRs, or other structures outside of the amatonormative nuclear family. Some real estate agencies and residential area regulations don't allow housing to be rented or sold to people who aren't living with a romantic partner who they are married to or intend to get married to, designating certain areas "for families" with a strict definition of what a family is. (The podcast @theacecouple talked about it in this episode)

Asexual people should be included in anti-discrimination laws.

Training for medical professionals should include education on asexuality and its experiences, same way that their training in many countries already must include training on L, G, B and T care. "How often do you want/have sex", "how often do you masturbate", and questions related to libido are routinely used to diagnose patients. This can be a helpful element in some cases for people who aren't asexual, but medical professionals should stop misdiagnosing asexual people out of ignorance or pressuring them for their orientation.

End conversion therapy. When a person explains to a medical professional that they don't get sexually attracted to anyone or that they don't want to have sex, the official course of action in most countries is for the medical professional to tell them they need "treatment". That is conversion therapy and can be extremely traumatising and anti-scientific. Sexual orientation doesn't get changed. If our asexuality causes us distress, it's because of how we are treated by society and made to feel abnormal.

Right to healthcare. We should be able to say the truth to healthcare providers without fear that we'll be put in conversion therapy, misdiagnosed, taken off necessary medication, that the medical staff will try to fix our sexuality instead of whatever problem we actually have, or other forms of discrimination. End the medicalization of asexuality (especially when the medicine given to "cure" women of being asexual is often just making them sleep so their boyfriend/husband can rape them and has been found to have other negative secondary effects).

Sex ed in schools should take asexuality into account. This doesn't only mean mentioning that asexuality exists (which already isn't being taught, leading asexual young people to feel pressured, out-of-place, alone, and can lead to putting themselves in dangerous situations), but including asexuals in the creation process of these curricula, too. Sex ed must take into account all its students to offer enough information for their safety, health, and well-being. For example, including asexuals in the creation of the course will mean stop assuming that there are things that don't need saying because "everyone knows". In my case, I would most importantly have liked to be taught that having sex is something people should do because they and the other person(s) involved want to, not because it's mandatory. It's not "everyone knows that", because it never crossed my mind that it's something people want, and I've read many others share the same experience.

Acceptance from family. Many asexual people, myself included, get forced to come out to their families because of their families' obsession with the asexual person's lack of sexual and/or romantic interest. The answer to coming out is often insulting and humiliating. I was told that if I don't like people it must mean I'm a zoophile and sexually attracted to objects, I was repeatedly called a liar and brainwashed by Catholic moral (I'm an atheist), I was pressured into going to a psychologist to fix my sexuality, that it's unnatural and unhealthy, that I'm repressing myself, and I was told that I must go out to party and let any young man have sex with me "doesn't matter who it is". When I answered that I don't want to and that to me it would be rape, I was told it would be worth it to fix me. Judging by what other asexual people explain online, and what other non-asexual friends who weren't interested in doing it were told by their parents, this is not uncommon.

Being believed by friends. Many asexual people explain their friends don't believe them when they say they don't find anyone attractive like that. This can go from openly direct hate speech to little things such as teen games like asking everyone who they like or have a crush on and not accepting "I don't like anyone" as an answer, accusing the person of lying, of not trusting the other friends, "everyone said it so you must too", often pressuring the asexual person until they end up making it up and lying to their friends by picking someone they're not actually interested in, making the asexual person feel like there's something wrong with themself and that they must hide in order to be accepted.

Acceptance and support from social movements. For example, sex positive movement further stigmatises us when it says things like "there's two kinds of people: those who say they masturbate and those who lie", or base acceptance of sexuality on arguments of "everyone does it". Subsets of the LGBTQ movement often also engage in hate campaigns against asexual people online, from spreading false rumours that asexuality is fake and it's straight people trying to infiltrate the community, to spamming asexual tags with porn to cause distress to asexuals and make the tags useless so we can't find each other and have spaces to talk about our experiences —in conclusion, so we can't have an online community.

Get rid of consummation laws. Most legislations say that for a marriage to be valid, there must be consummation, meaning that the couple must have had sex. This discriminates asexual people in their marriages, which are considered invalid. (Again, @theacecouple covered this very well in this episode).

Consent for being exposed to sexual material. It shouldn't be considered childish to not want to watch certain material or hear about certain topics because it's explicit. Events like Pride should explain what is going to happen and what the expectations are, so people can freely take an informed decision on whether that event is for them or not. Social media should have labels or tags that individual users can choose to blacklist. Tumblr users should actually tag the nsfw posts as such and use the mature community label. This way, everyone can still post what they want without censorship but we're not forced to see it or can choose when to see it.

End objectification and over-sexualization, particularly of girls and women who are most affected by this. End cat calling!!!

Educate on a more developed concept of consent. Make everyone understand that consent is a must, and that pressuring someone into saying yes, making someone feel like saying no isn't an option, or like having said yes to one thing also includes other things or the same thing other times, is not consent. Marriage or being in a romantic relationship also doesn't equate consent for sexual acts (end marital rape).

Stop making fun of people for not having sex. Stop using "virgin" as an insult. Stop spreading the idea that being a "virgin" means being a loser, ridiculous, childish, or a failure in life. Stop using the "virgin vs chad" meme. Stop insulting someone saying "this is what someone who doesn't have sex sounds like". Stop equating the number of sexual partners with success, particularly for men. This only pressures people against their will or possibilities, creates mental problems and incel mentality for people who want to desperately get out of the "loser" category that leads to rape, causes other people such as asexuals to self-hate and putting themselves in dangerous situations, and makes other people associate asexuality and not having sex in general with negative characteristics (aka bigotry).

Public libraries and library apps including books about queerness and asexuality. For many people, particularly young people and other people who live with their families, it can be difficult to buy books on asexuality, since they're often not found in physical libraries and must be ordered online. Living with possibly aphobic parents or flatmates, libraries and library apps are an important resource. A small percentage of population is asexual and asexual people often don't come out, so the internet and literature are often among the few ways we can feel like we're not alone and learn how to navigate a life outside the norm from other asexual people.

Feel free to add more if you want!

[aspecduality]

This very first Aromantic Visibility day as well as this and every future pride month: alloromantic people (non aromantic/arospec people) please please please don't just say "aros you all are valid and welcomed here!"

That is only the first of many steps but too often that's all I see done for aros. (For aces it's slowly changing to be a bit more) but a lot of people still think the A in LGBTQIA+ only stands for asexual (or worse, they think it stands for Ally, when it actually stands for Asexual, Aromantic, and Agender).

Saying we're valid isn't enough. You need to listen to us, both about the struggles and joys that we face and not assert that you know our experiences, lives, and feelings better than us.

Our experiences are not the same of course. They will be very different, varried, and you may not "get" them all. But the same can be said for our other human kin. You need not be able to personally relate to us to listen well and support us in both joy and sorrow.

To be happy for us and celebrate when something happens in our lives that is positive. To not treat getting a pet as us being sad and lonely and trying to make up for a lack of a romantic partner, to see us getting a place for ourselves to willingly and happily live alone and celebrate us being able to decorate it just how we'd like and get alone time when we want it. To not see someone single and try and push us into dating or someone else to date us when we don't want to because you, personally would be sad without experiencing romance.

Listen and help us fight the causes of our suffering and discrimination. When we say something systematic is harming us don't just say how the solution to affordable housing and better tax benefits would be to just get a significant other/get married, help us change how we as a society operate. Listen to us feeling invisible, unrepresented, and alone due to how society shoves down our throats that not feeling love makes you an evil monster and how you must find someone you love in order to be happy and feel whole. Help us get more information, knowledge, and understanding about aromanticism out into the world to help current aros not feel so unsupported and estranged or even unsafe around the LGBTQIA+ community as well as aid questioning folk who may be aro realize sooner that unlike how everything in society tells us, there is nothing wrong or broken about them and there is a whole life full of wonderful things and cool experiences waiting for them.

[Please DO NOT tag this post or refer to it as Asexual or derail the post to be about asexuality (or anything else). Aros and aces have a lot of experiences in common but this post is being made on Aromantic Visibility day and is meant to be about Aromantics specifically.

Of course, intersectionality is ok, such as being AroAce and how these subjects tie into each other and people's experiences with Atomanticism tied into other aspects of their lives]

[ectoplasmic-entity]

Something I wrote about myself for Pride Month. Copied straight from my journal.

“Because society, I should be attracted to someone. To ‘normal’ people, I should be attracted to a guy because I’m AFAB. Except, for the longest time, I’ve never felt much interest or attraction to other people. I feel like I could, but it’d have to be very specific, otherwise… I dunno. I’m beginning to think I’m somewhere on the asexual and aromantic spectrum, perhaps in the grey area. I’m not a people person and… I get fidgety about letting people who are not family or friends touch me. Cuz other than that, I’m a single pringle.

Although I do prefer to identify as queer, as I’m not entirely sure of how to identify my attraction hah, I do believe I’m some flavour of Pan - meaning I’m not too fussed about the other person’s gender, preferences notwithstanding.”

[ask-but-beware-the-consequences]

It is pride month, I had to miss both occasions of the pride event because of university, so I'm going to vent all my anger out here about the country I live in.

We're standing before the (minister) votes' results, and we see who won the election, but I am already on edge, crying vomiting (derogatory), because i just know it would be too good to be true that our current bitch president will be switched off. The president who made laws against the entirity of pride event (2016), against every lgbtq+ person (2020 in JUNE), and new laws against trans people (2024), including surgeries. The president who is advertising himself in fucking chineese outside of China, just to get more votes idk how or how is that legal.

I love my country, I love my people, my heritage, the familiar places and its biological surroundings, but I can't and don't want to live in a closed world where all that has haunted and damaged me in my childhood is coming back to me. I don't want to hear people go back to: "men are right, women are wrong", at gender options: "men, women, and women with extra steps (the option for not wanting to mention or they/them or etc)".

A person shouldn't experience feeling both demasculinezed for being gay and for "looking like a girl" (bc long hair) while being repulsed because the society around you associates women with their reproductive organs, which is the biggest bs I've heard.

We need the soul of rock 'n' roll back and being a punk, a hippie with what they've stood for.

We need trans rights, trans surgeries NOT ONLY for the trans people (like nullification surgeries), but for strengthening the aspects of acceptance of people in general; to weaken the toxic "masculinity rules"; for asexuals, and for all of those who are repulsed by: -having a gender -having reproductive organs without wanting to use them for reproduction -the idea of being r*ped in war (literally next door countrywise) and so on

And what is wrong with people, taking away their rights in general? Like, yeah I'm used to the logic of "we don't have 'problematic people' on paper officially, since we don't give that as an option". But this? New move? Of just ganging up on literal people? For being individuals? For being different? Do the other people not see that they are still literally under the same, only one species' in this world, that can talk? That they are still human? The nerve, the disrespect. I have a better idea, how about we gang up on people legally, based on their actual crimes like idk, robbing a whole fucking UNION.

But I digress. Aside the section of the lgbtq+ community.

We need feminism too for allowing men to be human without feeling less of a man, for not ridiculing women. (Because, you think women are defenseless? Come to the fucking military bro they can kill you with or without a weapon.) I am so angered because I will not go back to that past bullshit view without a damn fight. I might be a gay asexual, but I am an adult, I've lead battles for rights before, I will lead one again if I have to. You just watch me medieval sword larp this shit because I am anything but a "sissy", contrary to popular belief.

[mirnightghost]

IT'S HIM AGAIN-

I couldn't help but draw Mir with the asexual flag for pride month-

I mean, it's not like I don't do it periodically and without special dates, but LOOK AT HIM GO!!

Akh, yes, Pride month feels more meaningful and important to me every year. I’m glad to feel that I’m not alone and that asexuals are valid and accepted by society – at least at the level of places like tumblr.

Happy pride month once again to y'all <3

[prototypesteve]

Nearly a year out. Mostly good.

This is a special Pride Month (2024) because it’s been a little over a year since I first came out to a friend, and nearly a year since I began coming out in stages to larger and larger groups of people (a Pride network at work, and some more immediate coworkers).

It’s been mostly good. My local 2SLGBTQIA+ community was wildly supportive, and unexpectedly welcoming & inclusive of asexuality and aromanticism. Between August and October, I was able to attend three Pride festivals in western Canada, where I saw consistent and genuine aspec inclusion, with asexual and aromantics openly marching in the Calgary and Vancouver Pride parades. I joined and took on an organizing role in my workplace’s 200+ member Pride Team Member Network (reminiscent of the Pride Society in Alice Oseman’s Loveless). I even took up overseas international travel, visiting England for the first time, on a bit of an Osemanverse fan pilgrimage, where I accidentally had a very heart-healing series of encounters with God. I’ve been openly aroace at work, and among my makerspace hobby peers, where I’ve met a surprising number of other aces and aros (five or six, but considering how rare we are, that’s like knowing five or six unicorns in real life)! I’ve even led workplace workshops on other 2SLGBTQIA+ issues, like pronouns and gender-inclusive language. It’s been mostly good.

There’s been some bad, too. I stumbled through coming out to some evangelical friends I’ve known since the early 2000s. I still haven’t come out to my tiny immediate family. I don’t know how to come out to my two “mistaken exes”—platonic friends from before any of us had heard words like asexual, aromantic, or amatonormativity and allonormativity. And of course, I ran into all the wild dysfunction on Reddit, and the pockets of aphobia on Tumblr. Those things all happened on top of the many dark moments where I thought about the decades I spent not understanding that I was asexual or aromantic, and how that left me with a psyche that’s made almost entirely of emotional scar tissue.

But the bad was minor compared to the good.

I know who I am, and what I am. I know that this is the way God made me. Others know that I know that, too. I’ve had more than a few people tell me they’ve seen a change in me.

Happy Pride Month!

Photo 2: The workplace Pride Team Member Network barbecue on June 23, 2023 where I had every intention of telling someone and just coming out, but where I caved and instead offered to take some photos as a staff photographer. I would come out to in 200+ person Pride Team Member Network group chat a just under a week later on June 29th, 2023.

[genderqueerdykes]

happy pride to every asexual spectrum person! i know it hasn't been easy to be able to talk about asexual pride in the past, for quite a while, online spaces like tumblr and twitter took to being actively hostile toward asexual spectrum folk. it's time to stop allowing and encouraging this behavior- having no sexual attraction, a complex relationship with sexual attraction, and/or no desire to have sexual relationships is queer in a society that expects its people to have them

i hope you are able to feel welcome and seen this pride- whether you are straight, cis, trans, bi, gay, a lesbian, pansexual, intersex, or whatever else you may be, every asexual spectrum person deserves to celebrate themselves this month. you have a unique queer experience that deserves to be seen and heard as much as any other. you are appreciated, take care of yourselves, and each other

[thelostrainbowthenovel]

I know Pride Month is over now, but this was another "Pride"-focused drawing idea I had that I really wanted to get to. A family-focused one compared to the previous ships, this is Brooke and his mother Arethusa, repping their respective gay and aro-ace Pride! 💧🏳️‍🌈

This takes place at Mareas' first Pride event, many years into the future, so Brooke is in his mid-late twenties here. I've always pictured Arethusa as asexual and just disinterested/disconnected from the concept of romance and sex(since she's never felt genuine attraction for anyone before), but it was over the past year or so that I contemplated and decided to also make her aromantic. This isn't something she becomes completely aware of or accepts for herself till she's a much older adult(because of society), but it was partially thanks to talking with her son after his coming out that she slowly learned to embrace and come to terms with her own identity. After a few years and Mareas making more progressive strides in their lgbtq+ laws, they hold their first Pride event, with Brooke returning to his home kingdom to encourage and take his mother to it. She's still a bit hesitant, but after getting a pretty aro-ace dress and both the aromantic and asexual rings(the aro one is pictured here), she starts to ease up a bit as she enjoys the event with her son. 'Cue Mere, Murph, and Nate being in the background of this piece to join and support them~ <3

I hope you enjoy! ^w^

[ochre-sunflower]

Why Ace people need Pride Month too.

When I was a teenager, we didn't have words to explain asexual, non-binary, or... quite a few other things. You were either straight or gay/lesbian, and you didn't outright let our small community know you were the latter.

I honestly didn't even know transgender people could exist. You just kind of got whatever you were given, and you make do.

I don't even blame the high-school counsellor who made me feel like I was fundamentally different in some way. She told me to seek out a doctor for depression, which I guess isn't the worst thing that could have happened.

When I understood that bisexual people exist, it didn't make things easier for me. Although I did spend my university years thinking I was bisexual. Just, somehow still broken in some way.

But dating and falling in love is a requirement to our society, the pressure to pair off with someone is ingrained into us by our friends and families, and so I dated. And it was, understandably, awful.

I sometimes wonder if I was a more outgoing person, less introverted, more... something. That I would have had a better time in my teens/twenties/even into my damn thirties!

I'm so happy young people have all these terms to help them navigate the world and their place in it. To know that others exist in the grey areas that are harder to define, but where they can find solidarity with others who feel the same.

It's perfectly fine to attach yourself to a label, then unattach yourself if/when it no longer fits. Whatever you are, whatever you are not, what does matter is that you feel contented with who you are.

[elrikadraskanitsi]

El - Happy Pride month to everyone who celebrates it! I hope you are well and safe out there! ❤️

For Pride month, as an aromantic and asexual person, I wanted to draw something that means a lot to me personally. And I decided that it would be fanart of the Japanese television drama series Koisenu Futari (恋せぬふたり).

I first heard about this show from the YouTube channel The Ace Couple. They do podcasts about different topics through an Ace lens and have dedicated two episodes discussing this show. I am going to link the episodes here if you are interested (because, honestly, they do a way better job at reviewing and analysing the show, than I could):

Koisenu Futari: Is this the Perfect AroAce Rep!?

We LOVE Koisenu Futari!

The show is about the lives of two aromantic and asexual people - Sakuko and Takahashi, who decide to live together in order to escape the inconveniences of life. Along the way they learn a lot about themselves, the people around them and just life as a person, who doesn’t fit with the expectations that society puts on everyone. It’s honestly a really heartwarming series with a lot of amazing scenes. There were a lot of moments where our two main characters just stopped to express how they feel about different aspects of life and honestly, a lot of the things they said made me pause and say: “Those are my exact feelings!”. There were also a lot of scenes that genuinely made me cry. I have never watched a show that made me feel so seen, made me feel like I wasn’t broken and that there are other humans out there who share my experience. Another thing that I love about this show is that the two main characters show two different experiences of being aroace and that means a lot. Personaly, I relate a lot more with Takahashi.

If you haven't watched the show yet, I highly recommend you do so. It’s very well written, the characters are very interesting and lovable and the message that is trying to convey is very important.

This got really personal, but I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you have a wonderful Pride month!
