(and aros) if they are comfortable with that label

It’s normal and healthy to be a-spec.

raise your hand if you’re tired of seeing aro wlw get accused of being predatory

Being sexually attracted to others doesn’t mean you have to be sexually active. A lot of allosexual aro people still aren’t sexually active, or have sex very rarely, and that’s a really common aro experience too.

Reminder that being a-spec is about attraction, not behaviour. There are no past, present of future actions that bar you from any a-spec labels. If you feel like your a-spec label(s) match your attraction, then that’s all that matters.

You can be asexual and polyamorous. You can be aromantic and polyamorous. You can be aroace and polyamorous. These things are not mutually exclusive.

Aromantics deserve respect. If you say you support aros, then you need to support all of them. Support the ones who don’t want any sort of partnership. Support the ones who are both aro and ace. Support the ones who are romance-repulsed. Support the ones who are deemed “stereotypical”. Support aromantics.

support the aromantics who aren’t asexual. support the ones who see being aro as a huge part of their identity, the ones who see being aro as the biggest part of their queer identities. support the ones who ask for you to think critically about our society in ways that may be difficult for you, the ones who make you have to earn the right to call yourself an ally. support the ones that are angry. support aros who are disabled, neurodivergent, poc, and respect how they tell you those experiences intersect. support us please.

It’s okay to love that you are ace/aro, and it’s okay if you’re still learning how

The struggles you’ve been through because of your a-spec identity matter.
