#proud to be asexual

[redpandarambles]

When I was growing up I wanted so badly to find ace rep. To find just one ace adult that was happy and healthy. Who was out publicly as Ace. Who maybe even was proud to be Ace.

Someone who could act as proof to me that maybe everything was going to be ok.

Well, I'm no poster boy for success by a long shot, but I am ace and I am (apparently) Certified Old, so if anyone needs that rep:

Hi, I'm Panda, and I'm openly aroace, not just here but also in my everyday life. I take work meetings with a big ol' aroace flag on my wall, I have a pin for my rucksack when I travel to meetings, and my wife is knitting me a beanie in the aroace colours.

And yeah I got married, I'd always kinda wanted to, even though I feel little to no romantic and sexual attraction. Luckily I met an incredible allo pan person who takes me exactly as I am. More than anything we're a great team, always supporting each other and championing each other. She knows I love her even if I'm not conventional in the way I show it. 

Somedays I still feel like an oddball in my sexuality, being sex repulsed at 30 can make moving through adult spaces tricky at times. Sometimes I still feel incredibly lonely in my aroace identity, that desperate desire to be seen and not overlooked still burning strong.

But I'm lucky there too.

Through fanfic writing I've met a whole range of aspec folks, had commenters who resonate with my experiences and make me feel seen.

Then there's the fact that one of my best friends is also aspec. There's something incredible about being able to chat with someone who is just as puzzled by allonormative society as I am. Who just gets it when most people can't even begin to understand.

Being ace isn't always easy. But I wouldn't trade my aroace identity for the world. It's an integral piece of who I am, a part of me that I cherish even on the rough days.

And if I could go back in time and find teenage me, then I'd just want them to know they weren't alone and that there is nothing broken about them. That they are great just the way they are.

Girl get's admitted to mental health ward due to trauma from rape gets raped by 13yr old male patient. She was not helped despite staff being aware of what was happening.

I'm so horrified by what happened to this girl in a place where she was supposed to be to safe and given help to heal from her previous sexual assault. She is unable pursue legal action due to the severity of the trauma the rapist caused her as well as the legal process itself. She would be required to admit herself in that same hospital in order for them to monitor her mental wellbeing during the case.

I can't find anything to express the rage I felt when I first of this case.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYONE

I give to my fellow gays, this lil guy. They don’t have a name all I know is that they will chase, scratch, bite, and quack violently at all the homophobes.

Hello everyone, hope you doing well.

As my situation continues to terrify, I continue to seek help and support so that I can survive though it seems to be hard.

I today request anyone who can help me with some food that can take me for a month or some days no matter how little it is.

I hope that there will be some who can help

I keep falling off and climbing back on the art-wagon, it’s very annoying.

But anyway, I’m reading Orconomics, first book in the Dark Profit Saga. It’s a fantasy satire about the economics of a world run by adventure tropes. It’s really fun! The protagonist is also very good! Gorm Ingerson is world weary, haunted and grumpy but has a good heart and is a great leader. I also love dwarfs so that’s already a bonus.👌

His squire is this very cute and messy goblin. And him and the elf ranger also have a nice friendship, they bond over being jaded alcoholics.💖
