I think Iโ€™m leaving

Sorry guys. I thought I was part of this community, but turns out itโ€™s just some deep seated emotional trauma ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿ‘ˆ. Iโ€™m leaving to join the bisexuals, but I did enjoy the garlic bread, memes, and hospitality while I stayed. You all valid as fuck and rad as hell. Rock on and keep doing your thing.

Not even my earrings are safe

My family knows that I'm ace. Or at the very least, they know I am not certainly not a sexual person - I've made multiple tiktoks about my orientation, and much of my family follows me - I know for a fact that they've seen them.

Anyhow, today I got a new pair of earrings. They're dangle earrings that look like handcuffs. I tend to dress in a bit of a more alternative style, and just thought that they were really cute and fit the way I like to look. My mom told my aunt and my gramma about them at my cousin's birthday party earlier, and immediately, immediately, they started making fun of me for them, and making all sorts of sexual insinuations.

"Well, handcuffs -are- fun."

"Any ulterior motives there?"

"You can do a lot of things with those."

It was just so unnecessary and incredibly uncomfortable. I was really excited about those earrings, but now, I don't even know if I want to wear them anymore. All I really wanna do right now is cry.

I just want to be respected. Is that so hard?

Like, not even my goddamn earrings are safe.

I think I'm a bad ace?

The past year or so of me checking out this subreddit has left a bad impression of myself on me. It's a bit weird, but here is what's going through my life right now.

So earlier this week, I was on a walk with my mom, and we discussed the probability of her eventually getting grandchildren(she's got 4 kids, it'll probably happen one way or another someday soon), so I eventually go "Yeah, I'm not so sure I would want a biological child, but probably adoption,", she sarcastically says "yeah, sure, you certainly won't be hooking up with a woman anytime soon." and I go "well I am asexual"

It is important to note that I've told her I'm asexual several times before, so this isn't exactly some huge revelation, but her old lady brain is forgetful, I'm sure. I've only mentioned it in passing, really.

So she says something along the lines of "You say that now(I have said it to her for the last five years), but just wait until you meet a fine young woman, you'll want to have sex eventually," and I just shrug it off, and tell her "Probably not." We did have a few more words to say on the matter, but overall that was the gist of it.

I keep seeing stories of how people's mental states were practically destroyed because their parents saying something similar, and certainly I feel for those people, but I'm having trouble... Caring about the situation?

Like, I expected myself to be furious about this situation, as sort of a "How dare she try and tell me who I am!" But it's just more of an "Eh, whatever." I just feel like I should care more like I should be furious about this, or sad, or SOMETHING, but instead, I just don't really have any opinions about it one way or another.

Knowing her most of my life, she's certainly the most progressive conservative I have ever met, she has always accepted anyone of the LGBTQ+(after educating herself, of course) so that might play into me not caring as much, but I also feel like it should still hurt more since she is specifically excluding my side from it. I do think given time she will start to understand a-spec people more, though.

I don't think I have zero feelings on this, I mean if I didn't I don't think I would be writing this, but I definitely don't have the feeling I feel like I should.

Random Thoughts on Allos Who "Miss Sex So Much"

A lot of my friends are very hyper-sexual, or maybe it just seems that way to me. Anyway, I was mulling last night over how my friends will be "gosh, I miss sex so much, it's been FOREVER, like 6 months." Here's me, an ace, who is not sex-repulsed, realizing it's probably been like 6-8 months since I've had sex with my partner. Whoops, didn't even notice.

I feel arousal and I understand attraction and under the right circumstances I enjoy sex, but I do not have sexual attraction and this type of feeling always confuses me so hard. My brain forms rhetorical questions like, how is this happening to friends? Is it a physical need? Is it just better for them with another person? What drives this type of thought process that then turns into action?

I don't know, as someone who likes to understand things, I wonder if it's psychological or truly physical. And when I doubt my asexuality, I look at these moments and go "no, no, asexual is right, because I definitely don't feel that and never have."

Anyway, just random thought processes. Anyone else ever have these moments when you're very aware of your orientation?

I really don't get aphobia.

Now, when i say this, i don't mean that i don't BELIEVE into aphobia, rather, i Simply don't get their thought proccess. Now i DO think the opinion that everybody shoud have a partner or more Is a fine opinion to have like, if i was 41 years old and i had no social interaction with anybody in my whole Life, i coud understand that i probably shoud go and get a GF, but if you FORCE pepole who don't really get aroused by stuff and generally prefer hanging out with Friends than romantic endeavours, then thats when you start to cross the line and start disrespecting pepole. Ace pepole can't experience sexuall arousal, they can't change that, and thats fine. There's no reason to try and change that, because ace pepole are STILL not going to get aroused. And i know that there's another argument the aphobes have, they think that Simply because they don't experience sexual arousal, they think that It means they're somehow stopping the population of mankind from reaching more than what they are right now. Now, consider this, there are tons and tons of pepole who aren't asexual and can experience sexual arousal. And they can reproduce just fine. So therefore why do aphobes think that a group of pepole who don't do sexual arousal are somehow able to stop the progress of all mankind? The other pepole are reproducing just fine. And now with no smooth transition, that ends this rant on why i don't get aphobes. So, have an nice day, continue being yourself, and bye!

My biology teacher said that it's impossible and dumb for a person to identify as asexual

During class we were talking about sexual orientations and genders, and the asexual and non-binary topic eventually came out, I know it's not the same but my teacher pretty much thought they meant the same thing, saying that it's impossible for a person to deny they have a gender and that there's two sexes, and that also not having any sexual attraction or sex drive it's unnatural, that we all by nature want to reproduce, and that people that deny this just want attention.

Since I identify as asexual I tried to explain to her more about being asexual and what it means to be asexual, but you know being an old teacher and thinking that they're always right she started to make fun of me and saying that it's nonsense. Eventually I just didn't bother debating, since my teacher is very close minded.
