#aromanticism — Public Fediverse posts

Like last year, I’ve attended another #Pride march to represent #asexuality and #aromanticism and … myself and I was very happy to be part of it again. 🙂

#Pride nowadays is more important than ever because anti-#LGBTQ #propaganda is becoming more “normal”. Esp. #transphobia is a serious problem and has lead to legalized discrimination.

But I’ve also observed a worrying trend of “oldschool” homophobia making a comeback. Like "gay = pedo = Satan" shit. 😡

#Pride matters. ✊

Open Call für Aro und Ace Künstler*innen!

Für die AktivistA-Konferenz 2026 am 5. September in Stuttgart suchen wir kreative Beiträge, die sich den vielfältigen Facetten der Aromantik und/oder Asexualität widmen.
Diese können je nach Format auf der Bühne präsentiert oder performt werden. Im Anschluss planen wir einen Round Table mit allen Beitragenden, um über die Bedeutung und Herausforderungen der künstlerischen Auseinandersetzung mit aro/ace-Themen zu sprechen.
Falls du Interesse hast oder mehr Infos benötigst, schreib gerne eine Mail an finxthulk[at]tutamail.com mit ein paar Sätzen über dich und deine Beitragsidee.

Es sind alle kreativen Beiträge wie z. B. Gedichte, Performances, Skulpturen, Videos, Fotografien etc. willkommen, egal ob du das als “Kunst” labelst oder nicht. :)

Zudem haben wir einen kleinen Topf für Fahrtkosten etc., außerdem gibt es wie bei allen Beiträgen Mittagessen umsonst.

Infos zur Location auch bei: https://aktivista.net/konferenz/aktivista-2026/

Alle, die unserem Blog folgen, wissen, dass Menschen an deutschen Unis zu Asexualität und Aromantik forschen. Vom Gesundheitswesen über Literatur bis zur Soziologie beschäftigen sich Personen mit Themen aus dem asexuellen und aromantischen Spektrum.
Einige davon haben wir gemeinsam mit ace_arovolution und Menschen von der "On Asexualities"-Konferenz eingeladen, online über ihre Arbeit zu berichten. Mehr zu Menschen, Themen und Ort findet ihr in unserem Blog: https://aktivista.net/2026/03/03/ace-und-aro-science-showcase-am-6-april-2026/

It's :AsexualFlag: Ace week!

And I have a request for all :AromanticFlag: :AsexualFlag: allies: Please reflect on the following questions:

Disclaimer 1: I'm probably not going to include everyone with the words I use, but please let me know, so I can edit and learn.

Disclaimer 2: I'm also going to use language that lets you know what I assume is the answer to a former question. But all answers are true and valid. Please don't feel pressured or judged by my words. Some of the questions are simply void depending on your answers before.

1. Do you prioritize your romantic or sexual relationships/constellations/encounters/interests over your friendships?
Do you for example spend more time, money and energy on people who are not or you don't want to be "just friends"? Do you give more love to them? More attention? Would you rather stop everything your doing and travel to the middle of nowhere because one of them wants to see you right now, compared to a friend? Do you think your friends initiate contact more often then you and spend more effort in keeping the friendship going whenever you have people in your life you want to be with romantically or sexually?

2. Do the people you have romantic and/or sexual feelings for deserve the extra attention, time and affection? Do they treat you better than your friends? Is it easier with them or if not, do they give you something your friends can't to make it worth it? Are encounters with them better for you and your (psychological) health than encounters with your friends? Who do you think is more sore or jealous if you spend more time with someone else? Does that mean the other is feeling good about being second best?

3. Do you think society as a whole values romance and sexuality more than platonic love? Do you think that's justified? Do you think that the words we use cement those societal differences (e.g. phrases like "I want >more than< friendship")? Do you know a lot of movies or TV shows where a friendship is the main theme like a romance is in romance movies?

4. Do you think aro/ace people might be lonely and feel left out in such a society (not to say that aro/ace people can't be in romantic or sexual relationships/constellations and that friendship is the only format availible to all aro/ace people)? Do you think some of your friends that are single and not dating (right now) long to spend more (quality) time with you? Do you think some of your friends might like to tag along when your doing something (depending on the activity) with a person or persons in the romance/sex-category? Do you know or think that some of your friends are aro/ace?

5. Have you ever had a platonic crush? Do you know what queerplatonic means? Do you think you could handle it well when a friend has queerplatonic feelings for you that you don't reciprocate? Would it be the same or different than unreciprocated romantic/sexual feelings? Do you think you could be a qpp/bff to an aro/ace person while also being in a romantic/sexual partnership/constellation? Do you think the other person/people in the partnership/constellation would be okay with that? Would you prefer if they were?

I encourage you to look up any words you don't know and/or ask me about them. Many words don't mean the same to everyone and I can only give you my definition. But please don't ask randomized misinformation machines.

Really great #introduction to the concept of #asexuality and #aromanticism . Very accessible, and a welcome focus on the political aspects of asexuality . And I will forever thank this book for giving me the concept of compulsory sexuality.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Angela Chen, Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex.

Anybody interested in modeling?
