When people say acephobia doesn’t happen in the queer community😒

Whilst in many ways we live in the worst timeline, seeing an ace person lead London Pride has been a real highpoint of my year. Thankyou, @theyasminbenoit and everyone else who made that happen :)

As someone who is aromantic, I don’t experience romantic attraction. I don’t ‘fall in love’ in a romantic sense. I don’t have romantic relationships. I don’t date anyone. I don’t have boyfriends or girlfriends, or any kind of romantic partner.  My emotional connections with other people do not manifest in a romantic way and I have no desire for that to happen – I’m just not that way inclined. It isn’t a lifestyle choice, I didn’t decide to avoid the world of dating because of a bad experience. It’s just the way I’ve always been. I first realised I was aromantic when my peers seemed to realise they weren’t. From a young age, girls are taught to value romantic love. The message was a fixture in almost everything marketed to us.  ... For years of my life, it was very rare for me to actually describe myself as ‘aromantic’. I avoided the subject of dating and romantic relationships. But when I did begin embracing the true nature of my orientation, I was met with a surprisingly disturbing backlash. The assumption is that if you don’t or can’t experience romantic love, then you must be cold-hearted. There’s something supposedly ‘evil’ about it, something that has led to strangers online dubbing me a ‘sociopath’ more times than I can count. I’ve been told I must not value human relationships at all, that there must be something wrong with my brain, that I must have no emotions. ... We are taught that you can have everything – great friends, a loving home, a beautiful family, a successful career, comfort within yourself – but if you’re single, you’re incomplete. You haven’t succeeded in life unless someone romantically loves you and you romantically love someone else. Some assume being aromantic must be a terrible thing – like you’re missing something essential. But romantic relationships aren’t the ultimate relationship, and I appreciate all of the others. While I might not experience the highs of romantic love, I also don’t experience the lows. Instead, I use that same energy to experience the other pleasures life has to offer. Being aromantic encourages me to appreciate these things more deeply, not as something inferior. I find love in so many things, including friendships, helping others, my hobbies and having my own adventures. My confidence is found in having a positive impact in the world, not in my relationship status. Which, by the way, isn’t single. It’s infinite. 

"I'll never fall in love and that's OK" what it means to be aromantic by Yasmin Benoit for Stylist (2022)

Shocking, just shocking, to see so many TERFs complaining about the outfit Yasmin Benoit wore to Pride. It's like TERFs and the people claiming "asexuality isn't real" or "they aren't oppressed" are one and the same.

And none of them want to face up to the fact that they're basically saying, "Of course she really wants sex, look at how she's dressed!"

[weirdandwonderfulace]

in light of the absolute shit storm going on under the asexual tag on twitter, its been heartwarming to see people in the community take advantage of the exposure to share resources, educate others and share their own stories... also love and support to yasmin benoit once again for being an absolute icon <3

BARBIE IS ASEXUAL THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

[twacn]

I will forever and always be thankful for all the work Yasmin Benoit has done for the asexuals. She has faced an uncountable amount of aphobia and racism from people within and outside the queer community, and has matched that vile with nothing but grace. She is clearly incredibly well versed in the subjects she speaks on but uses that knowledge to accessibly spread information. Also shes just like really cool!!!

[vroomvroomwee]

If you are ace and don't know who Yasmin Benoit is, I strongly advise you to search her up. She has done more for the asexual community than I can put into words. She has been advocating for us every single day and has been the target of bullying, ridicule, and aphobia because of it. She has been fighting for asexual rights, she has been fighting against stereotypes, against conversion therapy and against the oppression asexual people face. Every person who identifies as asexual should know her name.

O’s character in Sex education appears negative to the viewers.

AroAce activist @yasminbenoit tried her best to help the team of Sex Education to develop this character but the final character that came across the screen made her shocked also.

It's very disappointing to us @netflixuk @netflix
