aromanticism is a romantic orientation spectrum. people in this spectrum have notably reduced, or often absent frequency and intensity of feelings of romantic attraction. aromanticism is not a choice, just like being gay or transgender

it's a common misconception that aromantic people don't ever get crushes; this is not true for all arospec people! it's a spectrum. some may simply not feel that at all, while others not as frequently, and/or not as intensely, or only under specific circumstances, etc. i'm arospec myself, i've only ever had one crush in my whole life. but it was pretty strong!

some people may feel alienated or "broken" for not feeling something that others do feel, or feeling it differently. if you're reading this and you feel this way: you're not broken, you're perfectly valid for being the way you are, and you deserve respect, support and acceptance! ​:BlobCat_Heart:​

and to those who reject aromanticism or think it's weird, please don't spread hate and negativity! people have the right to live as who they are without having to worry about being hated or discriminated, as long as they don't cause any harm!

:AromanticFlag: It's aromantic spectrum awareness week!

Did you know that the law discriminates against aromantic people?
If two people marry (you know, that thing where they promise somewhat long lasting romantic love to each other) they get a lot of benefits* that e.g. queerplatonic partners often can't get.

*in most countries

Big if true. Aber leider findet man sonst so ziemlich gar nichts darüber. Ich weiß nur, dass der Gouverneur von Wisconsin sehr queerfreundlich ist.

It needs to be said: we aromantic folks are often left behind and ignored in the queer community.

I have never once seen an alloromantic queer person talk about us in a way that isn't in service to some other group of queer people (typically the ace community), or based on assumptions of bullshit stereotypes about us.

The fact that it's #AromanticSpectrumAwarenessWeek now and most of the posts to the #Aromantic hashtag I see are someone just spamming every single queer-related hashtag they can think of for an unrelated issue really goes to show how much of an afterthought we are.

It's #AromanticSpectrumAwarenessWeek, so let's spread some awareness.

As an aro person, I am beyond tired of the stereotypes people believe about us. These stereotypes are actively damaging to aro people like me, and I suspect the vast majority of aro people.

Aro is not the same as loveless.
Not all aro people are ace.
Aro, non-ace people are not all looking for casual hookups.
Aro people do not love their partners less than alloromantic people.

Happy #AromanticSpectrumAwarenessWeek!

Een paar weken geleden heb ik een gedicht geschreven in het Nederlands dat helemaal paste bij deze gelegenheid. En omdat ik het een beetje sip vond om het alleen in het Nederlands te posten, heb ik het ook naar het Engels vertaald. Geniet ervan!

A few weeks ago I wrote a poem in Dutch that felt just right for this occasion. And then I decided that only posting it in Dutch would be sad, so I went and translated it to English. Enjoy!

Today is the start of #AromanticSpectrumAwarenessWeek (Feb 17-23) 2019, so I'd like to remind everyone of Moses Sumney's amazing album Aromanticism!

It's one of the few music pieces explicitly about #aromanticism, described as a mix of art-pop, folk, and R&B.
