on another episode of flags of mine I forgot to post on this account, my aspec mlm/nblm flag! this is for anybody on the ace and/or aro spectrums who are mlm or nblm! based on using the green from the aro flag and purple from the ace flag and meshing them together to represent the spectrum of identities and the blending of being mlm/nblm and aspec!
[flag description: flag with 7 horizontal stripes from top to bottom being green, light green, pale green, zombie grey, light purple, purple, and a darker purple. End of flag description.]

Just read an article that used the abbreviation ‘msm’ for ‘men who have sex with men’ and I think it’s something we could really utilise within the aromantic and aspec communities.
eg) XLX - loving
wlw/ mlm/ nblw/ nblm/ nblnb/ wlm etc.
eg) XSX - having sex
wsw/ msm/ nbsm/ nbsw/ nbsnb/ wsm etc.
eg) XRX - in a relationship (you can define this however you want: romantic, sexual, neither, both, queerplatonic, other, unlabelled etc)
wrw/ mrm/ nbrm/ nbrw/ nbrnb/ wrm etc.
like this could be such a useful tool for easily differentiating experiences within informational communication!!

It would be great if we, collectively as a community, stopped throwing other lgbt people under the bus to talk about our own issues. It’s really not that necessary.
Like to would be great if we talked about transfem problems without randomly throwing in “yeah because transmascs have it so easy!”
It would be great if we could talk about the issues that come with being a certain sexuality without complaining about lesbians, or bisexuals, or gay men, or polyamorous people and how we think everything is about them (newsflash: its not and they have their own issues because being any type of queer is hard)
It would be great if we could let other lgbt people have representation and be happy for them, instead of turning it into complaining about how others don’t have as much representation. You know you can talk about wlw shows getting cancelled without making mlms feel bad for getting another season of heartstopper right? It’s not their fault and it’s good that they’re getting rep.
We can talk about our issues without making other queer people out to be our enemy, because they’re not

i know it's bleak out there for queer folks, but please keep this in mind: i can open Spotify right now with the intention of listening to trans artists and i wouldn't even know where to start. there are so many smart and beautiful trans and gay people sharing educational content, vlogs, and silly videos while openly and loudly queer. there are video games that allow custom pronouns, where you can romance anyone of any gender, where you can make characters that are asexual and aromantic and cant be changed. there are tv shows fully about gay people. cis/het allies are everywhere. PLEASE dont forget how far we've come. i love you, stay safe.

actually fuck every straight person who says heartstopper is unrealistic and clichée and cringe. you get unrealistic and clichée and cringe ALL THE TIME. you get rom coms with a happy ending. you get the fireworks and flowers and movie kisses. and we (queer people) get the vague hand-holding and sad endings.
personally i love that not every piece of queer media isn't tragic. we need more cringe, clichée, unrealistic queer love stories. we need the queer kids to know that it CAN be happy and amazing. <3

any type of censorship over LGBTQIA+ age appropriate themes / movies / books in schools is outright discrimination and should be called out as such

October 22-28 is Ace Week 2023, so I’d like to give a spotlight to some manga I have enjoyed that have also touched on asexuality.
I Want To Be A Wall by Honami Shirono
A 3 volume Josei manga about the lavender marriage between Gakurouta, a closeted gay man who pines for his childhood friend, and Yuriko, an aromantic, asexual BL fangirl.
She Loves To Cook, and She Loves To Eat by Sakaomi Yuzaki
An ongoing yuri Josei manga with a TV adaptation about two women who bond over food. The series recently introduced Yako, an asexual lesbian, and it’s possible that protagonist Nomoto may be on the ace spectrum as well.
Is Love The Answer? by Uta Isaki
A single volume josei manga about Chika, a young college student who has always considered herself an “alien” because she has no desire for romance or physical intimacy, but finds community with people like herself.
Our Dreams At Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare by Yuhki Kamatani
A 4 volume Seinen manga about a closeted gay boy who gets to know the patrons of a drop-in center who all turn out to be part of the LGBTQ community. Someone-san might be considered a deuteragonist of the story.
I’d also like to mention two yuri manga I haven’t finished yet- I have only read the first volume of both- but because of what others have said I know they feature asexual characters!
Catch These Hands! (murata)
Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon (Shio Usui)
