Calling The Acespec Community, I Have A Question For You. I Have Prosopagnosia, Or "face Blindness,"

Calling the acespec community, I have a question for you. I have prosopagnosia, or "face blindness," which means that I can't recognize or really picture faces, especially human ones. This means I experience attraction differently, the only real criteria being "good character design" aka, shape language and color scheme. I've seen an ace person mentioning something called "aesthetic attraction," and I want to know if that's what I experience, and if I should consider myself part of the community.

When I say I would rather hold and drink hot soup with my hands than do dishes, I mean it. So many sensory issues in one experience, plus it's unsanitary and smelly

Something I've noticed about ignorant people that makes it kind of hard to get through to them, their reasoning or "proof" is always "I have this opinion, and I'm me, so I'm right." They've only ever experienced the world from their own point of view, so they see no reason to empathize with anyone or anything "other." The only way I see to help them would be a form of trickery- get them attached to something or someone, get them to empathize- and then suddenly that thing or person is revealed to have a different philosophy, or they make a point that puts a little seed of thought in their mind. The intention is to make them question their own bigotry by realizing they can't enjoy certain things if they hold onto it. Unlearning prejudice and overcoming ignorance is a process, because no one wants to admit they're wrong. Everyone believes their moral code is the correct one. This will take time, but in some cases, it is worth it to try. I'm happy you listened this long.

Sometimes I'm watching those gender-specific videos, where a guy will talk about something all girls do, and I'm like "I don't do that, so it's not true!" ...And then I remember I'm transmasc. 🤦
