Happy Ace Week 💜 Here's your regularly scheduled reminder that asexual people belong in the queer community because WE. ARE. QUEER!

If you like my lil ace bunnies, I have them as stickers in my shop!

Being Ace is Not a Choice Asexuality ≠ Celibacy! Many Aces TRY to feel attraction despite being unable. This can make them feel broken, wrong, and confused. It can take young Aces many years of suffering before they finally figure out that their sexuality just works differently from others. Being Ace is Not Just Low Libido Aces have a range of libidos. Many have a low libido and abstain from sex, but others have high libidos and enjoy sex for a number of reasons. Libido is your sex drive; the urge to partake in sexual activities. This urge is separate from attraction, which is WHO you feel sexual desire for. Aces are Not Heterosexual Heterosexuality = “attraction to the opposite sex”. Since Aces do not feel attraction to ANY gender or sex, they don’t fall under this definition. This point requires some nuance because many Ace sub-labels (such as Demisexual) CAN experience attraction in a limited or fluctuating capacity. However, the way that these labels experience sexuality still falls outside of what heterosexual society deems as “normal” attraction and can cause compatibility issues in relationships with non-Aces. That being said, some Aces still choose to identify with the Heterosexual label if it resonates with them. You can be both Heterosexual AND Ace, but being Ace is not the same as being Heterosexual! Discrimination/Struggle Happens Many people claim that Aces do not experience any discrimination and thus they don't belong in the queer community. This couldn't be further from the truth. Corrective assault, “it’s just a phase,” getting called mentally/physically ill, “you haven’t met the right person yet” are just a few examples. On top of the blatant discrimination listed above, Aces also deal with other struggles in our very sexual society, particularly when seeking romantic relationships. Aces who are sex-repulsed struggle to keep their partners satisfied in bed. Likewise, non-Ace partners often feel rejected and uncomfortable with the notion that Aces don't find them attractive. This disappointment from their partners can weigh heavily on Aces and make them feel broken/wrong.

Thank you for coming to my Ace talk hehehe. If you're Ace I hope you feel validated. If you're not, I hope you learned something!

Hey I just wanted to say happy asexual awareness week to all my fellow asexual siblings!! If you're ace, demi, greyace, aroace, alloace, if you use microlabels or just are in the spectrum, if you're sex repulsed or indifferent or favorable, if you have known it for a long time or are just figuring it out, no matter what, I Iove you and I'm so proud of you! Please keep living and fighting for our rights so we can keep destroying amatonormativity together until the world becomes a better place. Have a piece of cake and I hope you all have a wonderful week <3

It's Ace Week again and that means it's time for even more silly little artworks of silly little critters. (Here are their friends from 2021 and 2022) ✨Stay amazing, aces✨

i like being silly on my account but i saw a post that really annoyed me today

people who only identify as asexual, can still have romantic attraction towards other people.

people who only identify as aromantic, can still have sexual attraction towards other people.

someone can be aroace. but some people are only the aro or ace. they mean different things and they’re both valid whether you identify as only one, or the other, or both.

Happy International Asexuality Day!!! No matter where you are in the world, you are seen, recognized, and loved!

I really appreciate that Ace Week (formerly Asexual Awareness Week) is a thing. It's so very needed. I usually participate to celebrate/spread the word somehow.

But I'm so tired of the aphobes that inevitably turn up and spew their hate in the comments of Ace Week posts. I guess I live in a very accepting little bubble most of the time and then come Ace Week I'm reminded of how much hate there is out there.

Some of the things people say:

Asexual people just want to feel special. I.e. asexual people are just trenders.

Asexuality is not a real sexuality, these people just have a hormone imbalance or some sort of trauma.

Asexuality is gay erasure/homophobic. (Whut??)

Asexual people don't face the discrimination and persecution that LGBT people suffer. They don't need a flag or civil rights protection.

If you harbour any such acephobic opinions, or if you don't think aces belong in the LGBTQ community... either change your minds or get out. I don't want any aphobes or exclusionists in my space.

Who upset his duck?!?

You better hope that you brought enough bread for the both of them as an apology. And for your sake it better be artisanal.

💜✨Asexual Sticker for everyone!✨💜

[evocaitart]

I turned the Ace Flag into a nerdy lil werewolf girl! 💜 Her name is Monique and I'd say she probably identifies as demisexual... but it definitely fluctuates for her so maybe also a little aceflux?

Here's some fun facts about her ✨

She's studying to become a doctor.

She's French Canadian with a bit of an accent.

She's blind in 1 eye from when she became a werewolf.

Magic potions are her specialty and she is working to combine them with modern medicine.

I want to make a whole series of ocs inspired by pride flags so please let me know which one you'd like to see next!
