Something I need to hear sometimes is: You are not an inconvenience.

You are not an inconvenience if you have fluid pronouns.

You are not an inconvenience if you have fluid names.

You are not an inconvenience if you change your names, pronouns, or labels multiple times.

etc. etc. etc.

You are NOT an inconvenience. Asking for basic respect is NOT an inconvenience to others. Telling people how best they can respect you is NOT an inconvenience.

Never apologize for demanding respect. You, like everyone else, deserve respect. You are not being an inconvenience at all by getting it.

You’re doing great, stay safe and take care of yourselves <3

Reblog if you support asexuals and aren’t a COWARD

RB if your blog is a safe, accepting space for asexuals!

ages ago, I posted an aro positivity post that got a lot of bad replies. “This isn’t aromanticism, this is mental illness”. People don’t realise you’re allowed to be mentally ill and aromantic. You can have a personality disorder and be aromantic. You can be depressed. You can be bipolar. You can be mentally ill and still not want to be in a romantic relationship. It might not be connected but it might be. If you are aro because of mental illness or trauma, then that’s still aromanticism. If you just happen to be aro and mentally ill, you’re still aro. Aromanticism is not mental illness itself but of course, there’s mental illness within the aspec community. There’s mental illness in all communities. It doesn’t deter from aromanticism. Mentally ill aros are valid!
