I just came out to my best friend, and I wish I hadn’t
Today, my best friend and I were having a talk. Somehow this ended up being a “let’s talk about why you’re not in a relationship right now” kind of conversation. I started talking about how I felt like I needed to take some time off to deconstruct all the notions I was conditioned to believe. The depiction of love in western movies, and how it’s always centered around sex.
One thing led to another, and I told her that i am asexual. I explained to her that I don’t really believe in letting labels limit u or put u in a box, but labels can serve a greater purpose when u aren’t just looking to fill holes in ur self-reflection process. Labels can help guide u and clarify stuff. She then proceeded to tell me that she disapproves and that she hates to see me sucked into this. She told me that I’m denying myself of a physiological need and that we are biological beings.
It really hurts, being shut down and unaccepted like this. The fact that she think I’m doing this just to get some kind of momentary relief. The fact that she was talking to me as if was up for debate. I really don’t know what to do or how to feel. I just ended up hanging up on her cause I got overwhelmed.

I feel like this dad joke is an accurate depiction of asexuality and it made me laugh

I'd like to put this in r/memes to combat the stupid 'aces are into the letter A' shit, but I'd probably get annihilated by internet weirdos.

What are some things I should do at my school for ace week
I’ve been planning ace week at my school for a while now and have finally gotten approval. So far I have planned
Me speak at the school assembly about asexuality and the asexual spectrum
Posters around the school talking about asexuality and the asexual spectrum
An ace panel where I talk about asexuality and teach others
And the best thing I have planned is A-Day. An out of uniform day where people come in the colours of the ace flag and donate to the Trevor project (I know it’s not just for ace people but I think it’s good after talking it over with fellow aces)
So what do you think am I over doing it should I change of add anything? What are your suggestions
