Immortal Villain: At last I found you! You look exactly like my long lost love that died long ago. You must be their reincarnation...I must have you!
Modern day mortal: Ummm...be right back. * Goes to have facial reconstruction surgery done. *
Someone else after I tell them I'm Ace: But...But you're gonna grow up to be a Crazy Old Cat Lady then!
Me: Um, yeah that's the whole point. * Gestures dramatically at myself * I already meet three out of the four requirements!
Are asexuals a part of the LGBTQ+ community?
Honestly, I don't know. What I do know, is that asexuals can be accepted without a doubt, but they can also get harassed and picked on, and anything in between. My coming out went rather fine, I even did a presentation about it to the whole class, but despite that I often feel left out of certain situations. Some asexuals may be fine without a full support system, they might not figure out they're ace at all, they might think they just don't like sex, they might not know what others feel about it so they think they're straight, they might not even know what asexuality is.
But some asexuals feel left out. They feel misunderstood. Unheard. Weird. Different. Like they are forced to like that kind of stuff. It can brake up relationships. It can mess people up.
If you feel like aces are hurting the community in any way, please let me know, but from what I've seen, aces only want to be accepted. They are not too pushy or act hatred twords any part of the community (of course, I am talking in general, not about specific people).
So before you begin to judge all asexuals about not being harased like the rest of the community might, or not actually needing to be a part of the community, maybe think of those who DO need to feel like they are a part of something, who need to feel accepted, who need to feel like they are not different.
(This also goes out to aro people, but I don't know much about the topic, my apologies)
People are still aphobes in 2019??? bitch… GROW UP L O L
Someone: omg they're so hot!!
Me, an asexual:
Me, looking at a tall muscular man: wow what a beautiful shirt color
Sometimes I wonder if I'm really asexual, but then remember situations like
A friend: ugh sometimes I hate having big boobs, I'm an F cup, almost G...
Me, who has now only noticed she has boobs, let alone big ones: (・–・)
Being ace and finding out that you’re celiac and can’t have ~gluten garlic bread~ is like finding out the gods have denied you your birthright and given you a 10% off coupon as compensation.
