it's #aromanticspectrumawarenessweek ! 💚🤍🩶🖤

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
