Aphobic parents... I could use some validation
I (27M) have been out as asexual for five years to my parents, and I've known I was asexual for about ten years now.
The holidays were a little rough for me. I've had a strained relationship with my parents ever since coming out to them. I'm happy with who I am, but they aren't.
Anyways, long story short I could really just use some validation. I've been trying to get my head right again after seeing them for the holidays but I'm struggling. Could you all share some support if you don't mind?

Petition to make the goddesses Artemis, Athena and Hestia Ace icons! They’re strong, powerful and described as lacking sexual attraction!

Forced sex-ed
In my school, every year we have to sit through a sex-ed class. It's awful.
They force us to listen to them and look at pictures that make me nauseous. I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
At the end of the class everyone is all giggly and and happy except me. Walking out of the classroom the walls are plastered in posters with drawings of people doing intimate things along with drawings of genitalia.
It makes me so upset and makes me feel all tense and uncomfortable for WEEKS.
When I rant to my friends they think I'm being dramatic and they laugh at me. I'm not mad at them for it but it does hurt my feelings a lot. I just wish I had an Asexual friend.

This is an image I found on Pinterest about the different attractions, for the people that are still not sure where they stand. It has helped me know how I feel about people.

I wouldn't trade this for the world.
I like being Asexual. I always have. I like being attracted to people based on their vibe not their body. The only complaint I do have is my brain and body contradicting each other. Besides that though I love it. Occasionally I get confused as to why people find others sexually attractive. But i try my best to be understanding regardless. I just hope asexuality can be normalized more. It was really hard for me growing up to see my friends getting boyfriends and telling me what they did with them and me not understanding the appeal and feeling strange about myself.. It's a strange world I've lived in (especially when I went through puberty) but I'm embracing it more and more each day it seems.
I hope everyone who feels out of place can feel better about themselves. Just because you feel different and feel out of place doesn't mean you should be alone 🖤
