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. ✊

#Aromanticity or #aromanticism is an orientation that lacks romantic attraction.
An orientation is a pattern of attraction. Romantic attraction is the desire for a romantic relationship or acts with a particular person all things being equal.
Aro(mantic) people may also feel romantic attraction. They may have an exception to the pattern of attraction. And since that pattern still exist, they are aro. They may not mind being a romantic relationship but like it for other reason—for cuddles.

Hello everyone!
A YouTube content creator, Rowan Ellis, is in the process of making a video about aromanticism. If you would like to share your experiences as an individual on the aro spectrum I have linked her post that includes her link to her survey.
(Or if you want to share the link, that would be lovely too!)
Edit: the deadline is 16 July

Should sexual relationships, with all their complications, really be a benchmark of societal acceptance? Diana Firkelj & Dorotea Kosir via Vox Feminae investigates the history of #asexuality and #aromanticism www.eurozine.com/a-at-the-end...
‘A’ at the end of the alphabet -
I’m overthinking #aromanticism and #asexuality today. Allosexuals and alloromantics, I need you for science! Do you actually experience a drive to pursue romance and/or sex *every day?* Or is it within your realm to go a few years without feeling anything like that? Inquiring minds want to know.

Been thinking about my #aromanticism these past few days, and wonder just how often I've missed flirtatious signals, been crushed on, or misread someone and made them think I wasn't interested. Be forward with me. "Yo, Ducky, I want to pound you until you can't walk anymore" That'll do nicely.

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.

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.

Why don't I have a girlfriend I can kiss even though we wouldn't be dating? Aromanticism interacts with lesbianism in strange ways.
