hi i just wanted to say thank u for being welcoming of aro and ace people i really appreciate ur support and for making me feel safe on your blog it means a lot to me 🥺 hope you're having a great day/night and thank you for being kind !!
Howdy, anon! 🤠
Anon, if it wasn’t for the ace and aro communities starting to develop while I was a teen, I would not have gotten to this point in my own identity and that’s really the truth! I’m still a questioning aroace person, so I’m always gonna be ace and aro inclusive. But I do know that there are unfortunately a LOT of exclusionary folks who also claim to be ace and/or aro and who constantly tell other ace/aro people that they ‘don’t belong’ in the LGBTQ+ community.
How I see it, anon, is this: if someone identifies as non-straight and/or non-cis and/or non-heteroromantic, then they belong in this community. This includes intersex folks who find comfort in the community, MOGAI folks with complex identities/neopronouns, questioning folks (regardless of whether they end up being lgbtq+ or cishet), and people who simply identify as queer or use no label at all!
This community includes so many different sub-communities and not everyone experiences their gender or sexuality or romantic attraction the same way and we need to acknowledge that. Being a part of the LGBTQ+ community ain’t about how much history you know or whether you’re being bullied every day for being who you are. It’s about people who have always existed finding pride and confidence within their own identities and being able to have a positive support group to be there to give them advice, to console them, to organize protests/petitions/fundraisers for the overall community, and to give them a safe space, away from bigotry, to explore themselves and the various sub-communities we have.
To allow exclusionary rhetoric to thrive, and I’m specifically talking about TERFs/truscum/transmeds/ace and aro exclusionists, in a community that should focus on celebrating diversity and acceptance is hypocritical and I don’t wanna be a part of a ‘community’ like that.
Ace and aro folks are always welcome in LGBTQ+ spaces and if y’all ever feel like people are still being gross and exclusionary towards y’all, feel free to ask me about actual safe blogs/people/groups/events to follow or be a part of.
I’m the small but mighty, queer butch bro that ain’t gonna let y’all be left out!🐻🌻🌿✨
