In Short: The A-spect Community Should Be Anti-capitalist.

In short: The a-spect community should be anti-capitalist.

Yes we've all heard aroace people complain about the 'you haven't met the right person' line. But to the idiots citing this as the reason aroace people 'aren't oppressed’: No, micro aggressions aren't what's oppressing us.

I could talk about corrective rape, but I'm not going to because that's not what scares me the most. The worst thing about being aroace (aromantic, and asexual to a certain extent) is that society is set up for couples.

Being aromantic is a crushing economic disadvantage. As a couple, you can save more. As a legal couple, you can borrow more. This puts Mortgages out of reach for a lot of aromantics. Adopting too. Although aro people can adopt, you must have a similar income to a couple, which again, rules out a lot of aros. Don't forget Immigration, spousal visas will never be an option for us.

Being poor and aro means you're denied housing, family, international movement, basically anything that allos of a similar income would get. And anything you can get, you'll have to jump through many more hoops for. But we can't fix this by legalising aro marriage, like we did for the gays. Until our society's economic system is completely revolutionised, we'll be waiting.

It's impossible to compare oppression. You can't objectively say which minority group has it worse and I really mean that. But also I'd rather be called slurs and hated by Christians all fucking day.

Genderfluid Is literally a non-binary identity lmao /lh

Also, I'm genderqueer and genderfluid, so you definitely can use both terms.

Hey! I’ve noticed in the past year that how I feel gender wise fluctuates day to day. I think I’m genderfluid but I also feel like I might be nonbinary. Is it possible to be both?

Yes, you can be both.

i implore that everyone adds this to their posts. especially authors/those with a platform. hell, even if you don't have much of a following. do it.

I'm both.

Are you a “I miss being a child with no responsibilities” person or a “Thank god I’m no longer a child with zero freedom” person?

what companies who sell you anti aging stuff don't want you to know is that if you're chill about aging, your perception of attractiveness changes as you get older. there is no "wall" where you suddenly become ugly and unfuckable because in my experience what actually happens is you get into your thirties and suddenly realize that people in their thirties are hot as fuck and the "flaws" that the beauty industry wants you to panic about are a feature not a bug, and based on the std statistics in nursing homes I don't really expect that trajectory to change.

The fact that I suppressed my masculinity for such a long ass time is baffling me, now that I'm looking back, like- Bitch, cisnormativity really did fuck me up.....
