happy almost valentines day this is a reminder that singles, aromantics, and asexuals are valid and that a lack of romantic or sexual interest does not devalue you as a person
Every almost Valentine’s Day this post keeps getting notes and I’m just super glad that this message is spreading farther. Have a good Valentine’s Day, you’re valid even if you don’t experience sexual or romantic attraction and even if you don’t have a partner.
You are valid and also remember discount candy is for everyone!
There should be, like…more positivity and reassurance for aro, ace, and aroace men. Their lack of attraction and desire doesn’t take away from their masculinity and only they can decide what being a man means to them.
Your lack of attraction doesn’t take away from your manhood! It’s not the end all be all of your existence and I know that’s easier said than believed but I promise that it’s true! Asexual men are real men! Aromantic men are real men! Aroace men are real men! No one can take that from you or decide that for you!
being nonbinary and a fan of non-human creatures isn’t easy. like i’m constantly struggling with the fact that i’m both like “i wish there was more enby representation in humans” and “i’m the same gender as mewtwo and that fucking rips”
the tension between “representing NBs only as nonhuman characters is dehumanizing and othering” and “but monsters, aliens, and robots are so much cooler than humans”
Aromanticism is not an identity underneath asexuality. Aro people can ALSO be ace. Ace people can ALSO be aro. But not all aro people are ace, and not all ace people are aro. You can experience no romantic attraction but experience sexual attraction.
