Aro culture is listening to that little training video at work, that everyone has to take; and sees that it about respecting the LBGTQIA+ community; and then it brings up ally’s for the ‘A’ and nothing else.

Excuse me, but no! It’s for the ace, aro, and/or agender community!!

#baconandgrits #aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod axel #genuine: bring it up to HR as an outdated reference #you don't have to come out to do that either just talk to like. whoever led the training or the HR department IN WRITING if possible #ie email #'hi XYZ i attended a training on [date and time] that included a video about the LGBTQIA+ community. In it there was a mistake #that i wanted to draw to your attention - the 'A' has been generally recognized as standing for the asexual aromantic and agender #communities for the last decade or so. in the video we watched it referenced it as standing for 'allies' which used to be code-word for #closeted individuals but no longer carries that meaning in this context. I was wondering if there was any chance this training could be #updated. Thank you for your time and commitment to a respectful workplace - [name / pronouns if you're comfy / position]
