"How will you ever have kids?!" is such a stupid question when people find out I'm ace. Better than the other braindead questions in the ace convo tho lmao.

Asexuality and being neurodivergent
Hi there,
I’m curiously wondering how many of y’all are neurodivergent. As someone who’s Ace and has level 1 autism I’ve felt the two go hand in hand.
Obviously you don’t need to be neurodivergent to be asexual, but at least for me I feel it’s closely linked with my sensory preferences.
Anyone else?

Intimacy is not a Synonym for Sex
It just ticks me right off that many allos are only able to understand intimacy thru the lens of sex. Many do not seem to see other forms of intimacy as valid. It sucks that I will be accused of not loving ppl bc I couldn’t offer them sexual desire. It sucks that my desire is erased bc it doesn’t look like theirs. It sucks that no matter how much love I can offer, they will just knock the cup out of my hand bc I can’t offer anything carnal. I filled that cup with emotional vulnerability, acts of service, compliments, cuddles, support, etc…. But they don’t wanna drink it. All they wanna drink is sexual intimacy (maybe this metaphor isn’t working).

I’d love if there was an ace guide to visiting a gynaecologist
I’m 25 now and have still never been to a gyneochologist in my life, because unless you have period problems, just about every issue you can have usually has "sexually active" as the main risk factor. But every time you point that out you’re answered back with "there are OTHER factors too". Yet, even when being called in to check for ovarian cancer, the headline is "this is for you who are sexually active" and almost every other risk factor is in small text and worded like I don’t need to visit.
I wish there could be an ace guide to gyneachologists, because every time, it’s worded like "you should visit somewhat regularly, but it’s kinda useless, if you’re not sexually active". So which is it?!
