#ace struggles

LIVE

y'all, how do you deal with aphobic people?

I just went through the most exhausting debate online. It was my fault, I should’ve just blocked all of them from the beginning.

I swear if I get one more reply, I’m deleting that comment altogether.

Long story short, someone replied to a comment of mine with “maybe they have seggs every night”. (You don’t need the context, just that.)

To which I replied with, “every night? yikes

Now a person replied to that with, “why yikes?

And I said, “well that’s gotta hurt, right? give you rashes or smth?

And they were like, “nope. what kind of seggs have you had that gave you a rash?

Naturally, I responded with, “oh no, I’m asexual so no smex for me, I was just making an assumption that sounds logical to me

And this as*hole of a person says, “plenty of asexuals have seggs, don’t use that excuse

Which bewildered me to no bounds. I said, “huh? Yeah I already know that some asexuals have seggs? That’s not the point here

After that, it was basically me and them going back and forth the same bullsh¡t, other people joining in.

That first person kept saying that I shouldn’t say “I’m sex-repulsed because I’m ace”, when I never said that. And even if I did, so what? I would’ve probably had seggs if I hadn’t found out I’m asexual so there’s definitely a correlation there.

Was I in the wrong? Is it illegal for me to say that seggs is overrated and gross to me? Should I just keep my mouth shut and only talk freely in our safe spaces instead?

Will talk about asexuality later today in front of my uni class.

I'mma let you know how it goes

Nothing.Niche. Never seen so many disinterested faces in the same room.

It also went horribly. There wasn’t a single critique the teacher left unsaid, I’m sure.

I shall try again with another coursework in a month or so.

On the other hand, my first ever girl crush asked me for a pen with those doe eyes and gorgeous smile of hers and let me tell you, I’m never throwing that pen away.

So let’s just say I had my reconciliation after a failed coursework

Being ace and finding out that you’re celiac and can’t have ~gluten garlic bread~ is like finding out the gods have denied you your birthright and given you a 10% off coupon as compensation.
