Sex ED class, aphobia, homophobia, transphobia and some support
May be NSFW, I dunno. Trigger warning too, sorry if it's badly constructed, I'm on mobile.
We never have Sex ED class, okay? Just something we had in fifth and seventh grade before, so I was familiar with all of it, but always distant, as being aro and ace. I was in the back of the class, it was a full day lecture from older students in their twenties, and I was bored, disgusted and weirded out the entire time.
It was everything from basic anatomy and sexualities, to how to put on a condom. Ew. They even made two students, who willingly, mind you, chose to contribute, to read an erotic story about two people's first time having it. It was uncomfortable, excrutiating detail and et cetera.
When we got to sexualities, things started to turn. I was more active in class, and once we were asked to name some sexualities, I said "Asexuality". Oh shit. The other students were weirded out, saying how it's a shame that we are this out and just making some grossed-out faces in general. Some of them did, anyways. Well, I'm never outing myself for these fuckers. Never had any plans to, though.
Some kept saying how they wouldn't want to be friends with those who are gay or trans and just general douchebaggery.
Then they asked us to have two pieces of paper, given by them, and to write any questions we have, or just scribble on if we don't. I gave one paper, a doodled garlic bread baguette, and refused to give the other. Because it was about being ace. Since I mentioned asexuality in class, like a total moron, giving the paper would let them know it was me. Even though the papers are anonymous. I quietly explained to one of the students supervising us, and she went on to take the rest.
After class, I gave them the other paper, and explained that I think I'm ace/aro. They asked questions like: "How do you know?". Well, I always felt different than others in that sense, and even though I personally wouldn't change that about myself I still feel a bit left out. The supervisors were really supportive, and the first one said she was bi herself. I felt so fucking bad at that moment. She had to sit through the bullshit of my class for five hours while silently being judged for being bi, even if they didn't know! I thanked them for their time and went home, took a bite of cake and made some garlic bread.
My father came in shortly after, I told him how homophobic my class is, he told me Sex ED is unecessary and that homophobia isn't a real thing, just a natural, healthy response to being against gays. What the fuck. We ate that garlic bread during dinner. He didn't deserve it.

Are the allos ok thing
Can we stop are the allos ok memes? There's a whole sub for that specific thing. I come on reddit to look at some memes and it's just constant negativity. Allos were born allo, we were born ace, they feel sexual attraction, we don't, it's simple and they are just as ok as us.

Never the right amount of ace for anyone
My girlfriend broke up with me yesterday (I'm an ace lesbian and so is she). Part of it was because I'm not ace enough for her. I still want to cuddle and kiss and she didn't want that. I can do without, that's fine, but she told me she wants me to be with someone who wants that too. (Which first of all it's not fair for her to decide that for me and break up with me. I was perfectly happy with what we had and I loved her!). A relationship I was in before that ended partly because I was too ace, as did a different one before that.
I feel like I'll never be the right amount of ace for anyone.

My 9yo cousin asked me to make rainbow loom bracelets and I was surprised to see it was our colors she chose!

Which sexual trope commonly used on media you dislike the most?
I really hate the "Harem" trope that is the main theme of a lot of anime.
I think the easier way to explain it is "the shows where literally every girl in the universe fall in love for the protagonist for absolutelly no reason".
This appeals to a specific kind of fantasy that disgust me to the core.

Someone I know online said something really stupid about asexuality
I was in a group call with a few other people and I mentioned I'm asexual and this one guy goes "heh, asexuality doesn't exist! What do you do, divide in half when you have sex?"
Like HOW CAN PEOPLE BE THIS STUPID. I thought this was just some joke, not that people actually thought this!
And then when I explained what it really means to them they went "that's impossible, everyone feels attracted to other people, you're just lying to try to fit in." Then he said some stuff about how anything is considered LGBT these days and how people just want to be considered special.
The other people in the call (who are all either supportive of LGBT stuff or indifferent, and actually good people) changed the subject but I left shortly after.
This kind of stuff just really grinds my gears. I'm honestly just at a loss for words.
