friendly reminder that you don’t have to be around people who upset you or make you uncomfortable, even if those people are “friends” or “family”. you don’t owe them anything and you don’t deserve to be treated that way. you should surround yourself with people that are emotionally supportive because you deserve to be happy.
thanks. i needed to hear this.
TW: Rape, coercion, identity policing
Normally, I’m pretty good about going through and responding to asks in the order that we received them (unless they are specifically related to a question that has just been answered). However, sometimes one jumps out at me and I have to deal with it a little sooner. This would be one of those. The question at hand is “how can you be asexual if you have sex?” I am putting the full question, as well as my response, under a cut because the question has elements of identity policing, and my response mentions rape and coercion.
you know how grey-ace is a thing. Is grey-romantic a thing? because I think it needs to be a thing. yus. I think it may well cover whatever the shit is going on with me. anyone know if it’s legitimately a thing or no?
I think that makes sense. Only feeling romantic attraction once every blue moon, yes?
