❗Seasonal PSA❗
People who are AroAce can be in a comitted mariage without the relationship being romantic or sexual.
Apparently this is very hard to understand even for some queer people.

( also throws people for a loop, bc I LOVE nsfw fanfics/comics ).
I enjoy fictional nsfw a lot! I even draw it. But please keep the "real deal" away from me
I promise there's nothing wrong with being sex repulsed/ not having sex.
I just can't understand why people care so much 😭😭 waste your energy on something else maybe??
At the end of the day it's no ones business and if someone says their relationship isn't romantic or sexual, respect it
Legit costs nothing to just leave people and their business be
also it's a spectrum so that too. 🥲
But I think queer people should do better and try to understand us
i also think queer ppl should do a better job living up to their values and morals because quite frankly the most discrimination i've seen (and experienced myself) was from other queer people and i don't see many caring even though the community is meant to accept/protect us in a way lol
It took years for me to even call myself queer becasue I came out as ace at the height of the "ace discourse" era. That did some serious damage on me to be honest.
Like why is "no sexual attraction to any gender" so hard to understand?
Us cuddling is not "romantic". It's just cuddling. I'm actually so uncomfortable when fellow queer people, who know we're AroAce, try to recontextualise our relationship as romantic when it's not.

I've only recently come to terms with me being sex-repulsed and I've been out as asexual since I was 18
Being married is for tax & medical rights reasons and to convince landlords we're not just roommates that'll break up in two months.
Friendships can have this same level of commitment to each other too. Same with Queer platonic relationships.
If they can understand the use of the strangest neopronouns and having genders the flavor of the rainbow then they should be able to understand not feeling a need to have sex. Or just not wanting to.
And yet.
not a dunk on pronouns or genders but it's a good comparison imo
And if you're not, as you said, you get called emotionless, cold, unloving, etc.
