For me, being aromantic and asexual is just as much of a political identity as it is a personal one. Breaking down normative structures and rejecting the imposition of intimacy, desire, and connection as determined by others is such a huge part of how I navigate the world

"aphobia doesnt exist" meanwhile people are completely comfortable with saying ace people should be treated with corrective rape so they're not asexual anymore

On top of the weird rise in anti-greysexual articles this week being problematic, it's very annoying that they keep using my pictures for clicks but only quotes from white ace activists. This is the second time this week & it's been a constant pattern since I started my activism.

ARO AFFIRMATION: Experiencing little to no romantic attraction does not mean you are a waste. You are a human being with the right to take up space. You belong here.

To disregard the value of aromantic and asexual intimacy, and the nuances that come with it, is to be ignorant to varied social dynamics and perpetuate a hierarchical view of relationships established by harmful frameworks that aren't inclusive to everybody's experiences

While it's possible we might express affection differently from what is socially considered normative by employing broader meanings to certain phrases and actions or choosing to not engage in what is generally expected of us, our relationships have weight to them

Also, some aromantic and asexual people experience difficulty surrounding emotions or expression in relationships of any kind, and it's important to note that our worth shouldn't be centered around how we interact with intimacy and the ideas associated with it

The Internet is talking about graysexuality. Should we worry? A spate of clickbait articles on graysexuality are a mixed bag for aspec visibility. acedadadvice.substack.com/p/graysexualit…

LAKAS-LOOB SA MGA ARO: Hindi sayang ang pagiging walang-suyo. Ikaw ay tao na may karapatan sa espasyo't buhay. May karapatan ka dito.

Oras nang magtagpuan! 🌳☀️ Ipagdiwang ang Araw ng Pagbigay-pansin sa Espektro ng mga Walang-suyo (Aromantic Spectrum) kasama ang AASP sa Sabado ng 1 p.m. PhST sa Black Scoop Cafe sa GF, Gateway Mall 1, QC. Ito ay nalalakad paggaling sa Estasyon ng LRT sa Araneta.😊

The overall dismissal of predominantly asexual and aromantic experiences, as well how we chose to articulate them, shows how ingrained aphobia is in society. Erasure is discrimination and, passive or not, it carries a violent weight that deserves to be taken seriously

Attention 📣 Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will be moving our chill meetup today to Conti's Bakeshop & Restaurant at the ground floor of Gateway 1, QC. It is right across the drop-off of Araneta-Cubao LRT station. You may check the second image for what it looks like. 🙏

Message to the TERFs. Quit pretending parents casually give kids hormones. The reality? Endless assessments, waiting lists, and scrutiny. If you understood the process, you would know no family takes these decisions lightly, and your ridiculous ignorance would not exist.

trans people deserve to thrive

What better way to celebrate Aromantic Spectrum Visibility Day than to hang out with fellow arospecs? 💚 Yesterday, a few of us from the AASP community gathered for a chill afternoon to chat about being arospec and our shared interests while being surrounded by bread and cake 😋

On September 1 at 8 pm, we'll hold another Watch Party! We'll stream Tully (2018) on Discord: bit.ly/AASPServerInvi… You can join through voice call or text chat. We also have notes on TWs, nudity, and links about all the films posted.
