Came out as aroace to cousin sister, didn't go well :(
TL;DR: I'm 17 and came out as aroace to my cousin sister and she said to wait until I'm 18-19 because I haven't reached my puberty yet, but I know what I feel and what I don't for over 1.5 years.
So, I'm a 17y/o aroace (male) and I came out to my cousin sister last week, who is also 17. I tried to explain her what asexuality and aromanticism is by giving analogies, definitions, etc. but she kept insisting that I'm yet to complete my puberty and basically indirectly declining that I'm aroace. She kept saying that you might change once you become 18-19 y/o.Now, of course, after feeling invalidated, I checked about delayed signs of puberty and very well, none of those signs matched with me. I told her that I had already experienced the signs of puberty when I was 13 y/o but she refused to accept it. I then told about all this to another friend of mine, and while she was supportive before, she turned her back and agreed with what my sister had said.Now I'm feeling like I should wait and see if my sexuality does change. I feel sad and lonely because she was the only person I had ever trusted and loved so much. I feel really broken.

I've always had a story running in my mind about two aro aces whenever someone tells me that two people of the opposite sex will always fuck each other
So many people tell me that two people of the opposite sex will always be tempted to fuck each other. it's very annoying to hear that because i literally have no interest in fucking anyone even if they sleep next to me unless I have a deep romantic attraction towards them which I've only experienced once in my life. So whenever people tell me that, i always picture two best friends, a cis girl and boy, who are both aro ace. They met each other ever since they were kids and spent most of their time together. They would have sleepovers and camp together and they both want to be together forever. They go through a lot of ups and downs together and managed to buy a home for them. They have a bunk bed in their room and never wanted to fuck. i create small stories in my head about them during their childhood or as a teenager or as an adult. i really wished i could animate those stories but im not an animator. i really wanna show people that not everyone would be tempted to have sex and not everyone is straight. I just wanted to share what goes through my mind because it frustrates me to hear people assume that if a girl and boy sleeps in the same room, they will fuck.

Facebook has Asexual as a Gender option, but it should be Nationality (Down with Denmark)

Any movies or shows with ace representation?
I'm 15 so I can't really watch anything above 13+ rating, but I'd really like to watch something that has even the slightest representation lol
I saw the scene from sex education and now I'm counting down the days until I turn 18 (or 21 as my parents say) so I can watch it
Also I'm pretty sure one character from bojack horseman (I think that's how you spell it) and SpongeBob are ace and I hope this isn't as much as representation goes
Anyways, if you know any, please comment!!!

Coworker ruined any possibility of a friendship.
A little over a week ago one of my coworkers left a note for me asking to text them. I did and we were getting along well talking in an out of work setting. Then a few days later I was feeling very under the weather and she asked if she could come over. I said yes thinking that she would just be coming over to relax and watch a movie or something since I wasn't feeling well. About 30min before she comes over she sends me a picture of her in her underwear, I made it clear to her after that picture that I was asexual and wasn't looking for anything like that.
Proceed to her coming over, within the first 5 minutes she starts invading my personal space and I tell her again that especially since I'm not feeling well that I just want to relax. She keeps trying to push boundaries and trying to kiss me and cuddle up to me. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and told her she needed to leave, she seemed very offended at this.
Over the next few days she kept texting me constantly and would be upset if I took even 5 minutes to respond. I just started to ignore the texts not knowing how to deal with it all. Kind of sad that she ruined a possible friendship by trying to overstep all of the boundaries I was setting.

The cashier who rang me up had ace cake earrings on.
They had one with the regular ace colors on one ear and the aro colors on the other. Being on a military base, im sure they don't get a lot of people who know or are accepting of that kind of stuff. I thought I'd share because it was a nice interaction once I mentioned the earrings and it was my first time meeting another ace in the wild! :)
