Happy International Asexuality Day to all those who fall under the umbrella. People's reactions might test you about it, or it might be exhausting to explain, but it doesn't make you any less valid.

Thank you, Jon. Thank you for curating such a welcoming community and making sure we always have a safe space no matter the general state of the world.
Thank you Jon! 🥹 it’s hard being ace in a lot of ways. I’ve had potential boyfriends tell me I’m an amazing person, until I tell them I’m ace. Then they say “of course you’re too good to be true. There’s always a catch, and that’s a pretty big one.” It hurts. But I’m doing my best!
Honestly, I have no idea where I even fall on this spectrum. Never really had romantic relationships, and my dad thinks I may have higher wants because of him and mom fighting. I'm just not sure where I fall outside of "I don't want to be alone."
It's so tricky for me as an ace person. I don't feel oppressed, because my day to day is private. But what DID matter was knowing the concept existed as a teenager. It's SO CONFUSING to be a teen without the Raging Hormones everyone says you're supposed to have.

Tolerate is the word I would use.
It's just nice to know I'm seen.
