I haven’t seen anyone talk about it on Tumblr yet but in Mexico they’re doing a huge step forward against conversion therapy for asexual people
5 Mexican ace people are suing Mexico’s health system for cataloguing asexuality as a psychiatric illness and for having forced them into conversion therapy which had the objective of turning ace people into allosexual (meaning non-asexual) people.
Tumblr media
Translation:
Tweet by the organization Colectivo PTF Yucatán (Collective for the protection of all families in Yucatán): “📢 From the Colectivo Para la Protección de Todas las Familias en Yucatán, we will accompany 5 asexual people from the state [of Yucatán] in their recurso de amparo [a writ to protect the constitutional rights of a person] against the Mexican Secretary of Health and other authorities for cataloguing asexuality as a psychiatric illness. #NothingToCure 🖤💟💜 [hearts in the colours of the asexuality flag]
Tumblr media
Translation:
ASEXUAL PEOPLE SUE THE [MEXICAN] HEALTH SYSTEM FOR THE CONVERSION THERAPY
Five asexual people from Yucatán have presented a writ of amparo against the federal Secretary of Health and other authorities of the National Health System for cataloguing asexuality as a psychiatric illness. They demand the protocols and internal practises be modified, as well as allowing healthcare, specially the psychiatric services, to access the right to healthcare without discrimination.
Asexuality is an orientation characterised for not feeling sexual attraction towards anyone or the lack of interest in sexual relations. It’s calculated that at least 1% of the population is asexual. This will be the first time that a writ of amparo is presented to defend the rights of asexual people in Mexico.
From the Collective for the Protection of All Families in Yucatán we accompany this law suit in which the plaintiff resorted to the Federal Justice after the federal authorities confirmed to them that asexuality is understood as a psychiatric problem under the National Healthcare System’s framework.
According to the Secretary of Health staff, if a person states that they don’t have sexual attraction towards anyone, first of all studies are done on this person to identify if [their asexuality] has a physiological origin. Once this option is ruled out, they [asexual people] are channelled to the psychiatry staff for therapy. This practise is in fact a conversion therapy, given that it seeks to cure people whose orientation is asexual. The healthcare authorities do not contemplate in their protocols the distinction between asexuality and physiological alterations.
The demand was admitted last Friday [July 16th 2021] in the Third District Court in Yucatán, who will resolve the matter.

I just read this super sad post about this girl who’s asexual and married and everyone is basically telling her that she doesn’t deserve her husband/she’s just a prude/she should just do it anyway. So I want to tell you all right now that if people tell you this, or if they tell you you’ll never have a relationship, it is BULLSHIT. My husband is asexual and I’m not. He’s sex repulsed, we don’t have sex, we never have. And it doesn’t matter to me. You know what does? He does. His mental health and wellbeing matter to me. Because he is my best friend and he’s one of the smartest, kindest, funniest people I’ve ever met. And he’s had people tel him that he’s broken and it makes me SO ANGRY because they are WRONG. Being different doesnt mean you’re broken. If you don’t like sex/don’t want it/etc. Do not let anyone tell you that you’re inferior because you’re not. Do not let anyone convice you that you’ll never have a relationship because they’re wrong(if you want one). You are not broken, and it will be okay.

Happy Pride to everyone!! This day a year ago I started my journey to find out who I really was in terms is gender and sexuality. My first Pride knowing that I'm a-spec and gender queer.
I hope that everyone who is questioning can figure out that too, but remember that deciding not to use a label, changing labels and even not know what label use it's perfectly alright. You don't need to adjust to anything if you don't feel like it. And if you do feel like it remember that for some people it takes a lot of time to actually figure it out. No need to hurry. The signs will come eventually by experimenting or simply remembering. The most important thing is to express yourself as you are, in whichever way you chose to.

Ok but Amphibia it's a great series for my aromantic folks.
I just finished it and it is pretty great. And I said a lot of Aro people would like it because it doesn't focus in ships or romances. The principal focus is the friendship between these 3 girls. And I really like how they explore it and addressed.
The 3 of them are complex characters who want the best for each other but at the same time they can damage each other because of that or other reasons.
The series addresses toxic friendships, something that a lot of people focus more to romance or do not give too much important to it.
There are other good friendships too that are well accomplished.
And of course there is a little bit of romance but it's never the focus and it's just addressed in some episodes.
So yeah, if you are aro or just want to see something that is not focused on romance and has good characters with complex and Interesting arcs, I definetly recommend Amphibia. It is also very funny and entertaining.

Ok so, I'm a chubby person. And all my life I've been trying to feel good about my body, I even got anorexia at 13. Then I got chubby again, not as before but like, not slim. But still I want to feel good about myself, like who I am. Of course I do exercise and try to eat healthy, but I don't want to get into the anorexia again. And it kinda hurts me when my "natural" skinny friends say that they are fat. Because I know what fat is, and they are very, very slim. And I'm not saying that they cannot get fitness, or that is wrong that they say that they don't have a plain abdomen. Of course it's good if you want to look like a celebrity or get muscles or get a wasp waist or lose weight.
But saying that you are fat when you have a slim body hurts you and other people.
And I know is not their fault at all. As I said, I had anorexia and even I said I was fat. It was very scary to see me in the mirror and not being super slim. I got a fear for weighing machines.
Fatphobia is a very common and it affects a lot of people, chubby or not. There are many types of bodies, some of them accumulate more fat than others. For some people is way more difficult to lose weight. And not for that they are ugly. Not for that they are less valuable. Even if they have obesity or anorexia, no one has the right to disrespect them for that.

Clue that I was Aro #28382
Last year in Valentine's day, our highschool gave us permission to wear different colors depending on the meaning. Red was for taken, white for single and black for hopeless romantic.
And I remember that I was like: um yes, I mean I'm single. But like, I don't like anyone, I've never have. And anyone likes me either. And I'm not searching for a romance. So I want to be this fuck off romance person.
But there was no color for someone like me so I say: hmMmM what if I wear green.
JAJAJA My aromantic ass was just right there showing at it's maximum and I did not noticed not even a little.

OK SO THIS JUST HAPPENED AND I FEEL KINDA GUILTY BUT OK.
I THINK IM SMTN PAN/BI AND HERE ILL PROVIDE THREE EVIDENCES.
I am Asexual and I have identity as aromantic for almost a year but like I was never sure. Because I have had feelings towards other people but like mostly aesthetic or smtin that I identity as alterous but I'm not sure anymore.
Now with the evidences:
I was talking with my best friend (She bisexual). She said that she is thinking I'm breaking with her bf. And I got very surprised because I really shipped them jaja but anyways still I supported her and all. BUT. BUT. ONE OF MY FREAKING TOUGHTS WAS: Maybe we could date. Gksnndnsns And thAts jUst dksnmss. I feel so bad for that. Anyways I'm supplying her and I'm not asking her but like wtf brain.
And now I realized that, when my other best friend, that now is my QPP, and me where like I'm elementary school. I used to get pretty jealous of her hanging out very closely to other girls but like for me I tought it was just: well it's because she is my best friend and maybe she wants to be best friends with another now. And then when we got to different highschools I tended to feel very sad when she didn't talk to me. And Ik these can be things of friends but still my feelings for her where intense.
Also in Jr. Highschool she had a boyfriend. And he became my best friend too. I used to say I loved him as a brother and that stuff and I really shipped him with my bestie. BuT. Before they where officially dating one day he sent me a message telling me that he liked me and that he wanted to date me. It was obviously a prank and I identify it right away, bUt one part of me. One small part of me kinda really hope that was true JAJA. And some years after that when he break up with her, for some reason he also stop talking to me and I felt super sad. Like he had broken with me.
Jdjlaks anyways I think I'm Demiromantic bi. Because all of the above I had very strong connection with them. I need to think more but I'll check. If anyone has and advice feel free to comment.

This reminds me of this video about Mexican kids chosing over a white doll and a black doll.
https://youtu.be/SYdiIupTEA0
I remember as a child wanting to be blonde with blue eyes so bad. I remember that whenever there was a dark skinned character in a series full of white characters no one wanted to be the dark skinned when we played. Even tought most of us were dark skinned.
Not because you are something doesn't mean that you can't be phobic or racist to the same thing. You can be gay and homophobic. Black and racist. Woman and mysogenist.
Because hate is not only taught towards to the most privileged but also to the minorities. Kids grow up watching shows with white, straight characters as a majority. We are taught that we are the minorities since we are kids and that somehow we are inferior even when no one says it specifically. The show taught us that they are the heroes, the good ones, the most important of the series. We are taught that we are the minorities since we are kids and that somehow we are inferior even when no one says it specifically. This is why representation and inclusion is important. It is not only because we want people to acknowledge us, but because we ourselves need to acknowledge us and stop seeing ourselves as bad or inferior or ugly and see the real beauty and potential that we have.
