Hey Aces, I Have Some Phrases For You All To Learn And To Repeat Whenever You Find Yourself Arguing With

Hey aces, I have some phrases for you all to learn and to repeat whenever you find yourself arguing with some aphobe about the validity of asexuality,ace people or how they are different from whatever thing they bring up :

“You are not ace so you never will be able to understand asexuality but that doesnt mean that my identity is not valid”

” You are not the authority of deciding the validity of identities and the validity of identities isnt determined by how much you can/cannot understand them”

“Its not my job to educate you about asexuality and devote my time and efforts into explaining it to you when i dont even know you properly and there are ample resources about asexuality on the internet” and most importantly :

“Just because you are confused about what asexuality is doesnt mean that Im confused about it too “

Its high time we start reminding these people that “ace discourse” isnt a simple debate topic they can indulge in whenever they feel like venting their frustration towards other people but actually involves lives and experience of real,living people who will not stop existing no matter how many “hot takes” they post about them.

Our existence and lives are not a debate people really need to understand that.

I mod for two different aro/ace blogs and I’ve seen so many asks from aspec people who are in some deeply unhealthy friendships at this point that I think it’s really time to make a post about it.

Your friends should not mock or belittle your sexual and/or romantic orientations. Your identity is an important part of who you are and an actual friend would know that. People who mock your identity aren’t your friends, they’re bullies.

Your friends should recognize and respect your boundaries. You’re touch averse and your friends keep touching you even though you’ve asked them not to on multiple occasions? Sex jokes make you uncomfortable and you’ve asked your friends to not make them around you, but they refuse to? You’re romance repulsed and have explained to your friend that hearing about their relationships all the time is bad for your mental health but they still won’t stop? Then those people aren’t respecting your boundaries and you either need to have a serious talk with them until they figure it out or you need to stop being their friend.

This can be hard to hear but it needs to be said. Don’t let your friends mistreat you just because you’re aspec. You deserve so much better and I promise there are better people out there.

!!! WARNING, EVERYONE !!!

IF YOU SEE THIS IN A YOUTUBE AD MUTE YOUR DEVICE AND SCROLL UNTIL YOU CAN’T SEE THE VIDEO SCREEN ANYMORE.

This is an ad about animal cruelty that has very loud screaming of dying animals. Also flashing, graphic pictures of said animals, like a dead chicken or a pig biting a wired fence.

It’s about thirty seconds, the screaming starts 10 seconds in and the ad isn’t skippable.

It can trigger panic attacks and cause your anxiety to skyrocket, and it’s just generally a very disturbing thing no one should see.

I’ve only seen a warning yet, haven’t stumbled across this before despite using YT a lot but for the love of God please be careful. Here is a link to that video but ONLY WATCH IT IF YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT SENSITIVE TO THIS TYPE OF CONTENT. I’m merely giving out the link so you can report it and I wouldn’t advise any of you actually watch it.
