My friend (who knows I’m ace and dislike sex but I don’t mind talking/joking about it) was telling me about a sexual encounter she had recently, and she got to the part where pants were coming off.
And without thinking, I was like “even if I did like sex, I feel like someone whipping out their genitals would be such a turn off.”
She gave me a blank stare and was like… “that’s literally the whole point. So basically even if you weren’t ace, you’d still be ace?”
And I guess that’s the most asexual thing I’ve ever said?
It’s funny when transphobes say being trans is an illness and trans ppl need therapy. Like bitch you don’t think I went to therapy? I told my therapist I identified as a trans man and she was like “okay let me update your name and pronouns for my notes! Here are some great resources for trans people! Have you thought about coming out to your loved ones or do you need more time?”
Like that’s all you got, transphobe? Telling me to do something I already did, which actually affirmed the very identity you’re trying to erase? It’s almost poetic.
Corporations to employees: the employee handbook states that you must give management a minimum of three days notice if you are trading shifts with a coworker.
To the corporation I only applied to work for because I’ve worked there before and didn’t even like it but you’ve slightly raised the wage (still not a living wage, mind you) and I probably haven’t heard back because of the horrible (but justified) reviews I left when I quit but I need to pay my bills ASAP:
I thought you were desperate. You were short staffed when I left and judging by the fact that you still have an ad on Indeed six months later, you’re still short staffed. You don’t like my tattoos or piercings, or how pizza parties and silly sock days aren’t enough to make me feel appreciated. I don’t like your shitty pay, entitled customers, or rules forcing me to wear long sleeves to hide my tattoos. You don’t want me to work there and I don’t want to work there. But you need employees and I need money. Beggars can’t be choosers.
I was literally reading this exact post and then my coworker saw me looking at my phone and here’s the conversation that ensued:
Coworker: lol are u texting ur bf?
Me: ew no
Coworker: oh, gf?
Me: ew no
Coworker: no one? why not?
Me: cause I don’t want to
and if that literally doesn’t prove op’s point idk what will lol
What I want to do: tell people I’m asexual so it’s out of the way and they can stop assuming I’m allosexual
What I don’t want to do: give a 5 minute explanation of what asexuality is followed by a 10 minute debate on whether or not it’s actually a real thing followed by yet another another 10 minutes of uncomfortable questions as they continue to try and disprove my sexuality to me
