One of the best decisions I ever made in hight school was reading Something Wicked This Way Comes because now I understand what all the creepy circuses are referencing.
you know what’s really disgusting about tumblr’s pervasive acephobia is the way that ace/aro people have to spill their guts about extremely personal, private traumas for their experiences to even be slightly taken into consideration
i shouldn’t have to talk about the fact that i went through corrective rape as a teenager but i do
i shouldn’t have to talk about the fact that people tell me day in and day out that my boyfriend won’t love me if i don’t fuck him but i do
i shouldn’t have to talk about the fact that my parents mocked me and called me “unstable” when i came out to them but i do
we don’t ask any other LGBTQIA+ people to spill their guts about their very personal struggles in order for them to be “allowed” into the community, STOP MAKING ACE/ARO PEOPLE DO IT.
Asexual and Aromantic people are part of the community, period. No other modifiers necessary.
I’m just going to try not to think about things too much and dissociate a little harder.
