[This post is in relation to a convoluted piece of tumblr discourse about whether or not it's acceptable to talk about being asexual in public]

( one thing that gets me abt the "saying you're ace is tmi!" thing is like. what am i supposed to do should it ever come up in conversation? "hey, what's your orientation?" "i can't tell you, somebody on tumblr said i'm not allowed to talk about it." )

yeah, “i’m straight” works perfectly.

(i’m not straight, i’m aroace. no straightness if i don’t feel attraction. so riddle me this: what do I tell people when they ask my orientation?)

“i’m not interested”

i’m sure a lot more people know what that means

(Listen this is bullshit, a lot of ppl will ask us more questions if we say that or misunderstand, since a lot of people can be “not interested” for a variety of reasons. I have a better idea: we’re just gonna say “aro ace” if that’s our orientation, and you mind your own business holy shit)

“i’m ace by the way. aro ace. i gotta tell everybody that i don’t like romance or sex, unlike those icky allos. if you don’t care and don’t wanna know ur an aphobic piece of shit.”

nobody cares that you don’t wanna fuck or date. why can’t you people be lonely and quiet.

...

don’t break too many bones with your desperate stretching

but yeah

i hate you, i want you to be lonely and i think you and other aro aces like you are annoying as fuck

sorry, but my evil dyke ass is out of fucks to give about you and your equally irritating friends
