Mood.
First time I got slightly drunk in high school I hated it so much. I hated how I couldn't control my actions or words that came out of my mouth. Like, I can see what's happening but very firmly NOT in the driver's seat and I'm like-
I’m sorry for any intrusion but I am doing a school project on diversity and I chose asexuality as my topic. I created this account to look for asexual bloggers. I would appreciate it if you would answer any of these questions.
1. Where do you fall on the asexual spectrum
2. What are you romantically, gender-wise, or racially
3. How did find you were asexual
4. Have you been made fun of or been gatekeeped for your asexuality. If so what are some examples
If you don’t feel comfortable answering these questions you don’t have to. These answers will be put in my presentation alongside my experiences.
1. I'm GreyAce or grey sexual, and sometimes use the label Bi in public spaces (usually offline) not only to avoid confusion and judgement (people irl ik have absolutely NO concept acespec) but sometimes because it fits as well.
2. Demiromantic- infrequent romantic attraction (often have to make up crushes when I was younger just to appease my friends lol- they never believe me when I say I don't have a crush on anyone), gender doesn't matter nor race? Altho, aesthetic-wise I do often am more 'attracted' to my fellow Asian people (we're a broad bunch and so pretty 💜)
3. Thru the Internet osmosis. I'm lucky. I grew up at the right time. Sometimes I feel guilty because it felt too easy- finding a label and immediately going, yep. That's me. But to elaborate more, I guess, it's a culmination of things? I don't get a lot or romantic attraction, I got a libido but I get sexually attracted rarely and sometimes be repulsed with just the thought of doing it with someone- sometimes touching is nice if it's cold or I need a hug but often times I get weirded out by it.
4. No. Not personally. I've heard about it. Saw the occasional posts that would say being Asexual is not a real thing- which I ignore, but for the most part I feel like I entered at a real safe space. Never received a judgement or an attack about my sexuality's non-existence. The lgbtqia+ spaces I've been in are very supportive and I've never felt unwelcome even when I identified as a bi before transitioning to an ace-label. The people are warm.
still astonished at the fact that ace week is on halloween week we just keep winning
Y'all our sexuality is valid. Proud to be in this cozy community. Ace pride!! 💜
