Say it with me, everyone.

ARO DOES NOT EQUAL ACE.

ACE DOES NOT EQUAL ARO.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE BOTH. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE THE SAME.

AROMANTIC AND ASEXUAL ARE DIFFERENT, AND SHOULD BE RESPECTED AS SUCH.

edit: holy shit, this post has gotten so popular it's getting aphobia notes! thanks y'all

[tator---tot]

let ace people exist. let aro people exist. let aroace people exist. let alloace people exist. let aroallo people exist.

leave them be if they choose to have sex. leave them be if they choose not to have sex.

leave them be if they choose to have romance. leave them be if they choose not to have romance.

leave them be if they prioritize friendship. leave them be if they do not prioritize friendship.

leave us be, and let us live our lives.

Ace, Aro, OR BOTH?

I have made some ace/aro pride sea monsters,,, as a treat

edit: just so you know this artwork is made by an aroallo artist who doesn't appreciate being erased

tagging it as aspec/aro/ace and nothing else is fine, but if you're gonna tag aroace, don't exclude the other intersections represented here

[ace-culture-is]

alloace culture is having a hard time separating romantic and platonic attraction because it’s like the same but just a liiiiiiitle bit sideways

.

[allo-aroace]

shout out to the aros, aces, and aroaces in relationships who feel like they don't belong in allo or ace/aro spaces because of it

Let me say this, as an aplspec schizospec asocial who is sometimes alloace:

Aplatonic people are allowed to be alloromantic no matter what. People are allowed to only want romantic partners and no nonromantic friends. Yeah, it's said to fit the amatonormative standard, but platonormativity isn't just a concept you happen to find funny, it's real.

Aplatonicism may have started within arospec community, but it was also started as related to neurodivergence and asociality, which some dismiss and think schizoid people can't be really romantic. Which is unrealistic and manicomial.

Edit: apparently who coined aplatonic is alloace, according to people in the notes.

Additional comment: romantic love and friendship concepts vary across cultures too. Where I live acquaintances are not friends, they are just social contacts.

Alloace comfort art because I am incredibly insecure

I used the alloace flag here instead of normal asexual flag because it describes my issues more clearly!

It is my belief that alloace, aroallo and aroace all face unique and different kinds of discrimination and we need to stand together.

Also everyone ever please stop saying asexual when you mean aroace 🙏🙏 and aro when you mean aroace too 🙏🙏

We face similar things but we are different identities 🙏🙏🙏

There's some confusion about how romantic attraction and platonic attraction are different or how romance and friendship are different and this is why I think lesbian and gay asexual perspectives are needed. Both in and out the aspec community.

Just speaking for me, there's not really a strong overlap because I have no romantic attraction to men. I've had and currently have close best friends with boys and men. I care about them and they're important to me. But I don't want to kiss them. I don't want to marry them. I don't want to hold their hands. The idea of doing it either makes me feel absolutely nothing or I feel physically repulsed. Like gagging almost.

But for girls it's like the exact opposite. The idea of doing these things with girls make me emotionally happy and physically comfortable. It's not like pointing at a girl and going 'wifey not bestie' it's just a natural state that happens when I see an attractive woman. What makes my 'love' for men different to my 'love' for women isn't that non-romantic love isn't real love but that it just manifests in another way. I can 'love' men as in support them, hang out with them and talk to them but it's never gonna manifest into me being their wife, their long-term individual or one of multiple living partners or any overly physically affection (I'm okay with hugs every now and then but that's it). And it's never gonna be sexual (cus of the asexuality baybeeeeee). Plus they have their own intimacies they'd rather share with their girlfriends rather than me anyway.

In the sense sex can have multiple definitions, as in for some people sex is just PIV sex and for others it's a range of other things including not being physically touched, I think romance and friendship function the same way. For some people friendship is physically intimate whether it's kissing, holding hands or having sex and for others those physical intimacies determine whether or not a relationship is romantic or friendship. And that's all okay! I'm sure there's some bi and pan aces who can measure the difference between being romantically attracted to multiple genders vs having friends of people with multiple genders as well.

I hope this clears some things up because I'd rather have a wider conversation about the features of romance and friendship then just have my lesbianism reduced to being friendship or sex in denial actually.

Being a sex-averse/repulsed alloace who sometimes has INTENSE sensual attraction/desire is wild because sometimes I'll see a character that other people are clearly horny for on main and I can ALMOST relate to them but I know the way we feel is significantly different at its core so then I leave a comment or post some shit like “I need him in my bed so he can crush me to death” and then hit send

[random-colorpicked-pride-flags]

can you get the acespec flag from this or any other asexual related ones

(Edit: reblogging this with the alloace flag, since I realized I could’ve done it as well)

alloace and aroallo standard poodle icons >o<

[ace-culture-is]

Alloace culture is finding the love of your life and then having to give them up because they're not asexual and you don't want to have sex with them
