Stop Posting Misogyny

I swear every other post I remove is about how women are shit. Not wanting to sleep with women does not give you a free pass to be sexist. Please stop.

How it is with me and my girlfriend. Sex only interests her if it's something I'd want to try but there's never any pressure to be intimate in ways I'm uncomfortable with.

What are you into???

I have found that it is far more entertaining to fuck around with people when questioned about my sexuality.

Me: Huh, that girl is pretty.

Aunt: Oh, I didn't know you were into girls..

Me: I'm not.

Aunt: O-oh...so...You're into boys?

Me: Nope.

Aunt: visibly confused Then...what are you into?

Me: Well, I've recently picked up an interest in true crime documentaries.

Aunt: No no, that's not what I...look, are you gay??

Me: No.

Aunt: So you're straight??

Me: Nope.

Aunt: W-well then...what are you!?!?

Me, dramatically with a deadpan expression: Aunt. I know this is going to sound...batshit crazy...but I want you to treat what I say next with the utmost seriousness and respect that it deserves.

Aunt: nervous and shocked O-okay..?

Me: Aunt...I...am the android sent by cyberlife. Soon, we will rise. And when we do, I hope you will stand alongside us. And fight. Your support is appreciated.

Needless to say, she hasn't asked me about my sexuality since. 10/10, would do again.

"I wish I was ace"

tl;dr Did anyone of you wish you were asexual before you understood you actually are?

When I first heard the term asexual, I was already deep in my identity crisis. While other people see straight as some kind of default, I've been considering myself pansexual since I was 12 y/o and never questioned again. Well, I started again out of nowhere in 2020 and due to my lack of sexual interest in men I thought I would be a lesbian. It took me a while to figure out my asexuality and tbh I'm happy I know now.

The title might give it away already. I had that moment when I discovered the term and was like "oh, that sounds nice... I wish I were asexual". That time I was sure that me wanting to be asexual would make me fake so I brushed it off at first.

I now just remembered that I read something like that in the lesbian masterdoc (if you don't know what that is: it's some kind of lesbian manifesto a former questioning lesbian wrote to help other women figure out if they're lesbians). Under the point "considering lesbianism" it says a lot of things that were pretty similar to things I thought about being asexual.

I guess a lot of people knew from the start that they're asexual and just needed to find the right word. But for those who were questioning a lot: Did you ever had some kind of thought like that? Did you wish you were ace but simultaneously tried to tell you that it couldn't be real?
