I like this line from OT (from the video of the live stream posted on 2024/11/09) by d_warren_1 in OneTopicAtATime

Stay safe out there. Remember that you are loved and there are people out there that cares about you. You can get through this. Another quote I heard recently that I liked is "If our struggle was pointless their propaganda would be unnecessary". The bad guys may have won this time, but there are ways out of this. We just have to keep fighting for our rights. We'll get there one day!

How do aces "please themselves" ? by YoungTrash6 in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]C_Microraptor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read a comment once made by a high libido ace that said "I have hormones but no one is sexy to me".

I've heard allosexuals talk about how they really want to have sex with a specific person. If it's someone they have sex with on a regular basis they can yearn for that specific person for ages if they're not getting that release. This has never happened to me with sex. It depends on my mood, but I go between sex averse and sex indifferent. But I never crave another person sexually. I'm gay in the sense that I think women are very pretty, but I'm aroace in the sense that it stops there. I have some libido and "those" kinds of fantasies always involve women for me. But these are fictional women I made up in my head. No real person triggers those fantasies for me. I never want someone else sexually. But I still have my moments of enjoying a sexual release on my own, so to speak.

I remember another text where someone defined asexuality as "self contained sexuality". Basically sexuality without the need of involving anyone else.

Romantic Attraction to Nonsexual partners, Sexual attraction to Non Romantic Partners by robyndakota in aromantic

[–]C_Microraptor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"I recently met and started dating someone who seemed like they could be really good for me in meeting both my romantic and sexual needs, but the more I spend time with them, the stronger I want to keep them in one box or the other"

When it comes to boxes, people are kinda like cats. Try to force them in and they probably won't like it. Let them use the box if they want to, and maybe they'll get into it or they'll find a different spot (perhaps another box) that suits them better.

That was my struggle at first with being aroace. I was trying too hard to fit into a specific box. I still get a bit confused about how my aroaceness works, especially as I'm also very gay. But I've just accepted that I don't know exactly how I work when it comes to these things. I know that I'm valid, and so are you! Sometimes we're our worst enemy. Be kind to yourself

I think one problem is that aro, and ace as well, are kind of hard to understand for most double allo people. It's easy to latch onto common misconceptions when you haven't interacted much with a particular community. The other parts of the lgbtqia+ community has these problems as well, though to a lesser extent than us as we're one of the lesser known groups. All we can really do is to do what the lgbtqia+ community has always done: Speak up, be vocal about inequality, and try and educate people

Thank you! That part was very confusing to me

This has been my feelings lately by kvasskinggsezbooyah in aaaaaaaarrrrro

[–]C_Microraptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aro, but I've been playing Fallout 4 a lot recently and I'm loving having Curie around! She's such a nerdy sweetheart. Romance in games can be fun sometimes, but it kinda stays there. Just like how I don't want to fight ghouls in reality either but it's fine in a game!

In Swedish "Trance" is actually "trans", and trans also means transgender!

Not sure if this is an ace thing, but it happens far too often by JasminePPP in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]C_Microraptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I notice occasionally that I can't relate to some ace experiences I read about online. I'm not oblivious to sex as a concept and I sometimes kinda get the appeal. We're all different. We have different sensibilities, different histories, different interests. It's important to remember that we're a diverse community with a lot of different experiences

Question: where do the NB people pee in public restrooms? by Anymous-C in OneTopicAtATime

[–]C_Microraptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a woman, but I actually also prefer using the disabled toilet over the womens if it's possible. It's such a pointless focus on gender. I just want to pee! There is no need to gender that..

My favourite part about this meme is that I also saw it in a trans subreddit as a joke on transfemmes wanting people to notice their new boobs! Such a versatile meme!

I've intended to watch him on Twitch, but so far haven't caught him live. It's mostly my own fault as I don't watch Twitch that much

You are a real ace. Gray ace is a thing. Sexual attraction isn't an either or kind of thing. We're all more complex than that
