I came out to my sister
Everyone loves a good ally story... That's not one of them.
During the pandemic my mum, my sister and I started weekly discord calls to have coffee and catch up. After an hour or two, mum leaves the call and my sister and I keep chatting, most of the times for at least two more hours, sometimes with a glass of wine.
During these chats we overcame our issues with each other, in fact we realized that we're basically the same person. I see and hate my bad traits in her and vice versa. Now that we know that, we see more eye to eye, so I felt safe to come out to her during one of our calls after mum had left (she kinda knows but that's another story, if anyone is interested).
So... I sat there in front of my laptop, looked awkwardly in the camera, the topic was already close enough, so I decided to give it a shot.
Me: Er... You know... I'm actually asexual.
Her eyes widened, she stared at me in shock for a second and I'll never forget her first words after that.
Sister: OMG, same! I've never met another ace before and now you're telling me, my own sister is one! That's so cool!
Me: Wait what? How cool is that! I guess there must be something to the theory that being queer may be a question of genetics!
I felt a whole bunch of different emotions. I was relieved, I was happy, I never expected her response. We shared a laugh and talked a little more about it, finding out that we're actually both aegos but I'm aro while she's not. She actually told me about this subreddit.
I don't know if she feels the same way (even though I believe she does) but I feel like that brought us even closer together.
(Just so you know, I asked my sister in advance if she's okay with me posting here, she is and just asked for the link, I didn't drag her out if the closet without her consent)

I just went to a gay a bar and a girl wanted to have sex with me.
I am now crying and shaking with my ears ringing and I am not sure why. I thought I was sex neutral, but this fucked me up in a way I didn’t expect. I don’t know what is wrong with me. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Ace pride flag I painted cus I'm too poor to get a real flag. I love placing it in the background of my videos, pictures, and streams hoping people comment on it 🙃 even though no one does

Went to a pride event today
The parade had almost no ace rep but at one point there was a person walking in the parade with an ace and an aro flag tied around their neck. I was wearing a face mask with an ace flag on it and we had this moment of solidarity looking at eachother and making a little nod like "I see you, you're cool" and it definitely made my day better.

New theory: we're ace because we ate too much garlic(bread) so the sexuals couldn't bite us

Hey, I'm looking for asexual friends and maybe a qpp. I dont know anybody else who is asexual. Super socially awkward, shy asexual here. I have trouble making friends because people dont approve of me being asexual etc. Im mentally ill which makes it even harder to make friends. James, They/Them

Head Cannon: Jason Voorhees is a raging sex-repulsed asexual and no one can’t tell me otherwise (Not my art. I just thought it fit)

My Parents Scolded Me After Bringing Up Asexuality
My parents were talking about my cousin on a dating a guy and currently they are in Florida. As Christians they don't believe in sex before marriage. They mentioned how the couple are strong cousins so they would resist the urge to have sex. Then I said how I can be trusted not have sex. This was a mistake because my parents were very mad at me.
They think its so abnormal to be asexual. And they didn't care that I was upset. They also don't think I'm really suicidal because they think it's all for attention, even though I tried to stab myslef a few nights ago. My dad told me I'm abnormal and how I being asexual isn't normal. My mother kept saying, "No girl will want you." On a side note I'm agnostic and dealt with church trauma but my
After dinner my brother forcefully walked into my room and wouldn't go away. He kept trying to "debunk" me and denies aphobia exists. He gave me question that I couldn't really answer like, "Why do you not resonate with guys?" For those who don't know I'm nonbinary too. My family thinks I'm just queer and suicidal to get attention. Even though I have been mistreated by society in various ways. For example when a girl back in high school died, I wasn't allowed to talk about her even though we were coworkers at a McDonald’s at the time.
I feel so fake right now. Maybe my brother is right. Perhaps I'm being brainwashed by the LGBTQ community, or maybe it's my family who are trying to brainwash me. I don't know what I am anymore. I feel like I'm trapped in a loop of hatred and boredom. From my job, to wanting to transition to not wanting to, and of course the bigotry I keep going through. I plan to overdose soon.
