HAPPY INTERNATIONAL ASEXUALITY DAY!!

-April 6th

Straight trans men are queer enough

Asexual men are queer enough

Aromatic men are queer enough

Aroace men are queer enough

the difference matters:

sex-positive: you want people in general to be able to sexually express themselves freely. this should ideally include asexuality. this is not about you as an individual.

sex-favourable: you want to have sex for whatever reason.

sex-neutral: you don't really have an opinion about freedom of sexual expression. this is about people in general, not you specifically.

sex-indifferent: you don't really care if you personally have sex or not, you could take it or leave it.

sex-negative: you only want people to have a limited sexual expression.

sex-averse: you don't want to participate in sex.

positive/neutral/negative refer to your stance on how sex is treated within society.

favourable/indifferent/averse refer to how you personally feel about participating in sex.

you can be a sex-averse asexual and still be sex-positive.

there's a common misconception that aces, especially sex-averse aces, are all "anti-sex", but some parts of the ace community still hasn't learned the nuance of these terms either. i still see people call sex-favourable aces sex-positive when they mean different things.

why do people seem to think that one day ill just realise that i want to have sex? i totally understand that asexuality isnt talked about much so people have a lot of questions but i get see when people are like "well, you know your views might change when you grow up". like, dude. seriously? itsnotthatijustdontwannabangiliterallyjustdontlookatpeopleandthink'smash'isthatsobad?

pride month soon!! if you treat bisexuality or asexuality as “lesser” queer identities, “basically straight”, or a “consolation prize”, die by my blade.
