i now know that these people are minimal. like, i used to be an exclusionist back in middle school, i know how they feel. its a totally illegitimate phase, its about being edgy and as cruel as possible under guise.
the more i hung out with older queer people through affiliations from working at local comic publishing titles, or by me meeting established local communities from my soaps, or me reach out to them, i know that ‘ace exclusion’ is such a non-issue for them.
i think its because they’re much less insecure, compared to these exclusionists. they’ve said their piece over and over, they know what words and actions have weight and what doesn’t. its the married, settle-down, and raising-kids queer ppl that gave me confidence to know that ace exclusionism is as shallow as a tumblr troll
ive only ever met two exclusionists in real life, both when i used to habit this chicago fet club bc like many queer young people, im lonely and ill do many things i may not actually desire just to meet more people like me. and both, of course, were young and not very nice people in general
are you seriously under the impression that ace ppl dont know that others prioritize sex
why do you think we struggle with trusting our autonomy, why do you think we hesitate to date others and come out to allo partners
and no, you are not being ~tricked~. you developed feelings for an ace person that doesn’t view sex the same way you do, thats part of them as a person, the same person you had feelings for in the first place, and if you actually respected them as a person that’s not a trick. ‘being allowed to develop feelings’ are you kidding me what entitlement is this
yeah yeah passionate sex is what you want. but us ace people will stay concerned about our own safety and sexual rights before we begin to worry about your dating preferences. itd be nice if you people began meeting us in the middle 🙂
this pride month if i see ANY of you fuckers including ace/aro identities anywhere, if you even fucking say the words asexual or aromantic in any context of pride in any day this June, you have 0% of my patience and respect. this month isn’t for ace/aro identities and never will be. shut the fuck up.
It sure is June and I’ve never been prouder to call myself asexual
What a great day to be Asexual and Aromantic!
Wow aces and aros are so cool
Man I love and support all asexuals and aromantics this Pride!
The perfect month to shower my cishet ace fiancé in kisses and remind him every day that he’s part of our community and that I’m proud of him.
I love being ace!
I love my ace gf and can’t wait to propose to her next month! I also love all my ace/aro friends and followers!
The sun is shining, my home is full of music and Asexuals and Aromantics are valid parts of the lgbtA community.
^^^^^^
WOW I love my ace husband and all of my aro and/or ace friends! I hope all aro and/or ace people have a great and wonderful and very good day.
It’s the third day of Pride month and I already feel 3x as proud to be ace, and 3x as proud of all the amazing ace and aro people out there! Nothing would please me more than knowing that you’re all having a wonderful time being yourselves and doing what you love.
ALL ace & aro people are lgbtaq+ and i hope they all have an extraordinary june!

Happy pride month to everyone LGBT+ including aro and aces y’all are super great !!!
I’m proud to be gray-ace/demisexual/questioning and I hope that everyone else in the LGBTQ+ community has a wonderful pride month 😊💜
Love y’all ace folk ❤
A friendly proud community where the sexual attraction-feeling people are hot, aro and aces are beautiful, and mysterious discourses pass overhead while we all pretend to give a damn about who these people deem worthy,
Welcome to Pride Month.
Aros and aces are frickin fabulous dude
gotdamnd i sure love being one aromantic motherfucker
Oh wow look I’m panromantic ace, doesn’t that just rustle your jimmies 💜
Wow, what a wonderful day to be a sex-positive ace!
damn what a good time to admire how amazing me and the rest of the ace community is!!! we’re so great, fam 💜
well, would ya look at that? it’s pride month! what a great month to remind my ace/aro best friend how much i love her and care about her and how her identity is so valid and how she is definitely a part of our community!
Give it up for day 10 and I’m so much more proud and set that I am ace and have some amazing ace friends/followers. It’s amazing how much a part of this community we are! Man it feels good ❤
Op you missed the whole meaning of pride month and have zero of my respect and none of my patience. Ace/Aro are very valid and you need to shut the fuck up. Any of my followers out there that are Ace/Aro, I fucking love you guys and support you 100%.
Oh look it’s time-to-support-aces-and-aros o’clock. At my fellow asexuals and aromantics, i love and support you 100%. I know a large part of the lgbtqia+, and a whole lot of other people for that matter, don’t want us around so lets be strong and fight for equality for everyone, together! 💪
