En mi sindicato hacemos un fanzine que, hasta ahora, era mensual (a partir de ahora no sé si va a seguir siéndolo).
En el de este mes yo quería escribir sobre la asexualidad, pero no me veo capaz porque aún no me he recuperado del 1 de mayo. De todas maneras, quiero lanzar unas preguntas al fediverso:
Gente asexual
¿Qué hubieseis agradecido saber o que «se supiera» para hacer las paces con vosotres mismes (o mejor aún, para no haber entrado nunca en esa guerra)?
Gente no-asexual
La misma pregunta, pero sin la parte de la guerra y con la parte de comprender a quienes tenéis alrededor.
Aphobia is bigotry against #asexual (#ace) or #aromantic (#aro) people (sometimes agender, too). And in the following posts I will do a little explainer.
(I won't talk about agender, because I'm not agender.)
For #InternationalAsexualityDay please, have this nice #Ace#axolotl with pride flag colours - I am not sure why they are #asexuality mascots, but saw lots of them last several years on forums and sites.
I hope fellow Aces here would like it :heart_ace:
Je ne demande pas qu'on connaisse la def ou tout le spectre ace. Je veux juste qu'on me laisse vivre en paix et qu'on cesse de venir me dire pourquoi je ne devrais pas exister, ou encore me demander de me justifier ou d'expliquer. On n'est pas des dicos. Tout comme mes adelphes, je compte exister le plus longtemps possible, en phase avec mon identité, même si je fais partie des plus invisibilisées.
Le A ce n'est pas pour ananas
PSA to everyone to not use brave browser @brave, the CEO of Brave Software is bigoted (donated to anti-lgbtqia+ organizations trying to ban gay marriage in the past and still has never addressed it or apologized) and was also against the Covid Lockdowns and is anti-vax. Using brave browser contributes to oppression of LGBTQIA+ ppl and contributes to brave software financially through ads and other means.
I recommend anyone still using brave browser to switch to ungoogled-chromium as a non-bigoted degoogled chromium-based browser alternative. @floccus is a good browser extension to use on ungoogled-chromium to sync your bookmarks.
I'm Nate, a 28yo 🇧🇷 transgender man, very autistic and going also through a lot of stuff, but I believe sonic the hedgehog will heal me fr
oh, yeah, I post a lot of my daily thoughts, I look like a little lad without graduation but I do have one, an IT grad, I love the silly computers a lot :neocat_cool: I'm still looking for a job btw :neocat_cry:
the tags below are just related to things I'll mostly follow here :neocat_flop: so...
"And Blanchard claimed that asexual trans women are not truly asexual, but rather represent instances where 'autogynephilic disorder nullifies or overshadows any erotic attraction to women'"
Ah yes, asexual #trans women HAVE to be fake, or else his pet theory would be false. 🤡
I've never posted an #introduction so here it is, finally!
We're Rak, a plural system consisting of Anna, Kat, and Farah (among others). All of our pronouns are she/her and it's fine to refer to our whole system as such.
We're panromantic, grey-asexual, and polyamorous! Very leftist, not religious. We also have ADHD, OCD, and Bipolar II, so hopefully we can find others to relate and share experiences with.
We'll each write our own little mini-intros for anyone interested!
💙 I'm Anna ^^ more often than not I'm in front, though very often alongside Kat. I'm a very nerdy blue catgirl. I'm pretty reserved, thoughtful, and deliberate, though also often anxious. I'm the linux nerd in our system ^^ I'm a sucker for optimization and efficiency in all things, and I love tinkering and customizing everything. I really enjoy factory building games and sandbox games.
Kat and I have a lot of overlap with our interests; together we're pretty creative and enjoy art, 3D modeling, music making, and gamedev. We both enjoy playing FFXIV (especially savage raiding and clubbing!), Monster Hunter, FromSoft games, and retro shooters.
💜 hiii i'm kat! i'm very extraverted, and i really love meeting and getting to know people! i'm really excited to be able to be myself here now, and i'll probably post a lot hehe.. i'm carefree, excitable, affectionate, and energetic. i can be pretty flirty at times! also i'm a catgirl too :3 i'd love to meet you!!
🤎 Hello, my name is Farah. I don't know if I'm going to really use social media much, but I wanted to give an introduction regardless. I do anything I can to make Anna and Kat's lives a little bit easier, though recently I've been exploring my own interests as well. I really love animals and nature. I'm happy to talk to anyone friendly!
This turned out to be a lot longer than expected, thanks for your interest ^^ Feel free to send us a DM, we'd love to talk about anything!
Time for another #introduction since I just moved here. This instance looks great, so I'm hoping it will be my last move.
I'm a #Christian woman first of all. My #faith has been a little shaken by all the #chronicIllnesses I've dealt with, but I'm still a Christian. I'm also #asexual and #aromantic. I've just recently figured this out so I'm still getting used to it.
I'm totally blind, #ActuallyAutistic, and have a very long list of health issues including multiple #RareDiseases. I also live with anxiety.
I'm currently studying for a certificate in #Braille transcription. I originally wanted to be an #accessibility tester, but the course to teach this is more intensive than my health will allow, and I thought I might be good at working with Braille.
My interests include working with #technology, reading both Braille #books and #audiobooks, and #gaming.
I live in Texas, not far from San Antonio, with my Mom, stepdad, 6 #dogs, and lots of #cats. I have a 9-year-old #MiniaturePinscher named Squeaker who I'm very attached to. He's the #dog in my header photo.
I think my brain is broken. I learned I was #asexual ages ago( like years ago) and it didn't faze me, yet today was the first time I felt actually sad about it. Like hello brain, your reaction was a little delayed don't you think? :neocat_glare_sob:
No good deed goes unpunished. As Ume discovers when she rescues Shiomi. Neither Shiomi nor the jealous, vengeful ghost that stalks her appreciates the act. Something they both make clear. As for Ume’s partner, Tomo, he is less than thrilled at the intrusion of an unpleasant third into their relationship. “I know I told you to find someone who would appreciate your advances, but I really question your taste.”
Come, follow Ume-san, Shiomi-san, and the increasingly exasperated Tomo as the three explore their attraction for each other in a world where creepy things wait and watch from the shadows.
New research on asexuality shows why it’s so important for doctors and therapists to distinguish between episodes of low libido and a consistent lack of sexual attraction
So this year, I came out as #Asexual. It wasn't a world-changing revelation, but it helped me to understand certain facts of my being. Just like learning that I am on the #AutisticSpectrum, embracing my #Queerness has helped me to understand why I am the person I am today.
The last several years have been shittastic, but this year has been the start of an upturn for me. I've moved back home, sober from alcohol for almost 9 years now, working at a #CoOp in a city I love, living with my mum who I love more than anything. I'm finally saving money, and my debt is almost completely paid off - I just owe the government for a CERB payment, and I'll have that paid off by tax season - I paid off my old credit card debt this year, finally.
I have to admit, I am not very hopeful for the future, for the world at large. There's so much awful shit going on. Sometimes I think it's hopeless.
But I gotta keep going. Otherwise, what else is there?
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season, and that your new year is glorious.
