As someone who knew they were ace since 2012 the Discourse had such a deep scarring effect on me. its kind of bonkers that even now that i'm in a lot better place and that kind of online infighting has died a death i see any vaguely public mention of asexuality and i physically wince because im expecting a ton of fucking embarassment and shame to come my way. every ace week i think about making some kind of post celebrating and i stop because of how bashed in the immediate instinct to be ashamed is

#i got a video essay on ace discourse in my reccomended and it brought back some Feelings.#like i see more pride in being nonbinary than ace and thats a much newer label for me by a decade. augh #always thinking fondly of a therapist i had who 1. suggested i get diagnosed for autism and broke the thick fog of mystery abt why im...#..Like This #and 2. very calmly talked abt my asexuality like i wasnt some kind of freak #personal
