Friendly Reminders for aro men (Valentine's Day Edition.)

I forgot about Valentine's Day, like a proper God-fearing Aromantic. Anyways, here's the Valentine's Day post for aro men-esp trans and non-binary men.

To aro men, esp trans aro men:

Friendly reminder that it's okay to spend Valentine's Day with your best friend even if amatonormativity tells you it's not. Nothing is romantic unless you want it to be.

Friendly reminder that, yes, it's okay to just want to get laid, no romo. You do not have to partake in romance if you do not want to.

Friendly reminder that you are not "emotionally unavailable" because you do not partake in romantic performance.

While we're on this note, friendly reminder, that even if you are emotionally unavailable, it's for you to decide how available you want to be, to who, and why. Amatonormativity has no place forcing you to be "open".

Friendly reminder that you don't have to hate Valentine's day or love it or like it. You can simply not care. Even if you are dating someone. Even if sometimes you feel romantic attraction. Even if you feel love.

Friendly reminder that you are not alone in the distinct sort of loneliness that sets upon us on the 14th of February. It's okay.

Friendly reminder that you can get flowers for yourself. And chocolates. They're supposed to be on sale but it's been a whole 3 days. Damn it.

also I've seen a bunch of people say its their first time celebrating valentines day as an arospec and i just want to say !!!! good for you!! i hope you have a wonderful day <2

I just stuck my leg out to fake trip my brother but he just kept walking and since he’s so much bigger then me I just pivoted like a revolving door.
