BAD NEWS

I regret to inform the asexual community that invading Denmark is not an option, as they are part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and due to article 5 of that organization, all of NATO will be against us and that’s like a whole ton of Europe, and Canada and the U.S. and our forces, while strong, are not enough to beat that of NATO.

The repopulation argument

Some of you have had this before that someone said you can’t be ace cause humans are supposed to repopulate.
I don’t know if you have tried this but it’s a nice counter argument.

Each year there are around 250.000 baby’s left for adoption. They are left by the cis because they didn’t want an child aka didn’t want to be part of reproduction. If ace people adopt those babies and give them a home we still safe the repopulation.

Aces are not the bane of human reproduction but the fix to cis ignorance with reproduction. We safe the humans you didn’t want.

Let me know if you tried this and how it worked out. (And yes I do know that not every ace wants kids but for the ones that do this is still valid)

Have anyone of you thought of getting a hormone panel just to prove that our asexuality is not hormonal?

I have never encountered something like this in person, but I am just kinda worried that it will happen. Though it does not prove anything for me because people can still say it's my SNRI making me asexual.

Sexual attraction is not libido damn it. Even that I don't feel horny doesn't mean I don't want or enjoy sexual activities. I don't want it with another person.

marriage.

I'm someone who is under 18, yet my parents keep bringing up marriage and having kids and all that. it makes me super uncomfortable and they still bring up this topic even though I told them I was uncomfortable with it many times. I always bring up a counterargument like, "What am I supposed to do if I don't fall in love with anyone? Do I just force myself into a random marriage with someone I don't even like?" and they told me...

"That's not possible, everyone falls in love. It's not possible for someone to not develop feelings for another person", something along the lines of that. What? No. That's incorrect. Out of 7 billion people on the face of this planet, there's no one in the world who hasn't not fallen in love with anyone? Is that what you're trying to tell me? And the topic of marriage keeps on coming up, and I get more and more uncomfortable with it. When I ask, "well, what if I didn't love anyone?" she "tsk-tsks" me or shrugs.

I feel stuck because they tell me life is worthless without marriage or kids, but the process of having kids and the effect on your body afterwards seems so hard to deal with; especially postpartum depression and adding weight from your stomach expanding so much. I feel like I'll be depressed if I don't marry and have kids, but I also feel like I'd be depressed if I did the opposite and lived by myself. I hate this so much. I can't get rid of this mindset no matter who I talk to or what I think of.

My dad told me that if I get married, I'm going to be owned by my husband. What? Huh? What do you mean "owned"?? I might as well be put on a leash and have a dog tag with the writing "If found lost, please return to (husband's name)". Wtf??

My mom told me the only reason I was born a girl was to marry a husband and give life to a kid. I feel literally worthless. What's the point of existing at this point??? I don't even feel like I'm supposed to live a regular humanly life, I feel like I'm getting an education and working hard to just to end up as a housewife and baby maker.

My science teacher makes me feel more comfortable than my parents. He accepts the fact that I don't want to get in a relationship with anyone or feel attraction, and he told me it's totally okay and you can live a perfectly happy and normal life even without marriage. This is one of the only thoughts that distracts me from everything else, and makes me a little happier. He deserves everything, and I think he's awesome.

(Thought I'd post this to make me feel a little better).
