Asexual professor rant

I'm a relatively new college professor (early 30s male) and as I was getting ready to start my job (pre-pandemic) I had multiple people insinuate that it would be hard to avoid banging my students. "There's gonna be some attractive girls in your class...they're going to be looking at you...the temptation is there." "What are you going to do when your female students start hitting on you???" that kind of thing.

Like, I'm a fucking professional, I'm not going to bang my students no matter how hot they are because that's super creepy and a violation of a power differential and will get me fired. I guess this is something that allos struggle with?

I know very little about being a spinster, but the response from the nine year old is gold.

Had it? Are having it? Will have it? Never had it? It doesn't matter... your experience is valid. 🖤

That one time during pride month that Starbucks gave me an asexual sticker. Forget about this till I was going through my Snapchat photos looking for something completely different. ❤️

do you consider yourself part of the lgbtq+ community?

i just recently told one of my absolute best friends that i’m ace. (he’s been very openly gay for as long as i’ve known him.) when i finally told him, he said “welcome to the lgbtq community”. it was kind of jarring to say the least. outside of being ace, i’m a straight cisgender female, so i never felt like that was something i was apart of. i get that being ace is a sexual orientation, but i guess, for some reason, i never put ace under the same umbrella as everything else. i’m not entirely sure why. i don’t know why my brain decided upon that.

i guess what i’m asking is, do you guys consider yourself part of the lgbtq community? even if i’m a biological female that identifies female that is (partly) attracted to men? idk, i just don’t wanna be offensive but im genuinely wondering. idk. i’m a mess.

My entire workplace found out I’m asexual

So I don’t really talk about being asexual to people. Only those I’m very close to know. If I’m on a dating app I put it in my bio because I feel it’s important to know if you’re gonna date me. Well somebody at my job saw a dating profile that I forgot about and then went around and told everybody at work that I’m asexual and now everybody knows before I was ready for people to really know.

My sibling's partner is aphobic regularly

Instead of ranting about how upset this makes me, because they know I'm ace and am proud of it, I want to instead say this:

To all ace people, no matter where you are on the ace spectrum, no matter your romantic orientation or lack thereof, no matter how niche other people think your identity is, you are valid. You are loved. You are an important part of this community and of the LGBTQIA community. Your experiences matter, and you deserve to be accepted as you are
