Aspec Positivity

asexual people with libido

asexual people who masturbate

asexual people who likes porn

asexual people who likes reading smut

(As penned by someone who lived through the peaks of tumblr ace, bi, and dysphoria discourse.)

You find yourself saying that XYZphobia either 1) doesn't exist, 2) is misdirected ABCphobia, or 3) isn't nearly as bad as ABCphobia, so it's not an issue, really.

You say everyone talking about XYZphobia is just ABCphobic, and/or is just repeating conservative rhetoric. (“Asexuals are all homophobic anti-sex prudes!” “People who think you don’t need dysphoria to be trans are transphobic!”)

One of your main issues include either the idea that XYZ people will confuse cishets, or that XYZ people are co-opting ABC spaces / resources (and are thus all inherently ABCphobes).

You find yourself giving them a stupid-sounding nickname to derogatorily refer to them with. (Think "asexies", "bihets", etc.)

You prop up XYZ people on your side of the discourse as "one of the good ones".

We have been forcibly displaced from our homes and now find ourselves without shelter, food, or basic necessities.

We urgently call on kind-hearted individuals and humanitarian organizations to come to our aid.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in the lives of our children and families.

🚨Please help us — time is running out 🚨

My name is Mahmoud Al-Halaq, from Palestine - Gaza - I am 29 years old. This message is addressed to every person who carries compassion, kindness, and love in their heart. After 470 days of war on Gaza, the destruction that has occurred, the displacement we have faced, moving from one place to another, and the loss and death of loved ones and friends, I found myself alone without a home or place, and even the prices of food are astronomical. The world has changed so much that life has become gloomy and boring. Therefore, I ask for your help in rebuilding myself, my life, and my family's life anew. You are our remaining hope in life. If there were an opportunity to work, I would not waste a minute nor ask for help from anyone, but I urgently need assistance for my family, my children, and the women to rebuild what has been destroyed and crushed in this devastating and painful war. Thank you for your time and support; we draw our strength and resilience from your support. 🍉

I am from Khan Yunis, Gaza Strip. The situation here is completely different from what you see in the news. The word disaster is not enough for the situation here. Do you know what it means to see the bones of children from hunger? 😭Do you know what it means to be a young man and not be able to walk from lack of food and other things? There are many people infected with the stomach epidemic here because of the dirty water. You don't want to talk about the fact that all of Khan Yunis here lives in torn tents. The planes are dropping lava of flames on them. It's not something to joke about. So I hope that whoever has mercy in his heart will help us and stand with us. Anwar is getting worse every day.

Please donate to me 🥺

I learned to hate myself for being transgender before I knew I was transgender. I laughed at the jokes in stand up comedy routines, and prime time sitcoms, and animated comedy shows, and in the movies, and in books, and in games, laughing at trans women for existing, about “men in dresses”, about people who “got their dicks chopped off”, and I learned to think that was worthy of ridicule.

And then a day came when I felt a pang of envy at what my female classmates were wearing and I repressed it, and felt guilty, and a day where I felt incomplete because I had no breasts and I repressed it and I felt disgusting And a day when I realized the only images of romance that made me feel anything showed two women together and I repressed it and I felt like a monster And a day when I realized I felt sick when I looked at myself in the mirror after every shower before work and couldn’t bear to look at my own face, and I hated myself. And then there came a day when I hated myself so much, and I thought I could never understand why, and so I just wanted it all to end. And it was just a miracle that I swerved my car back into my lane in time.

And all of it started with a joke that I heard on TV, and then kept hearing from all the voices from the ether, over and over and over, worming an idea into my mind before I was old enough to realize I was absorbing it, the idea that a man in a dress is funny, and that changing your body parts makes you a freak, and that women who have penises instead of vaginas are liars and hurt men. And they’re still making these jokes. And somewhere out there right now, just like all those years ago, there is a little girl in a t-shirt and cargo shorts with buzzed off hair watching the TV, hearing that joke and absorbing it without knowing it, who will someday have to pry herself apart to tear it out of her head, just like I did.

She has learned to make foccacia, pita, and no-knead bread. A couple of years ago she received a sourdough started from a friend and made potato kulchas with it. One thing that she loves about this is that humans have been bread-making for over 30,000 years, and so making bread connects her to her ancestors and to people all over the world.

Palestinian Community Kitchen was brought to my attention by my friend Nader @abdalsalam2000 who has been trying to raise money to feed his family (#4 on the gazavetters list). He is very close to his fundraising goal, 94% of the way there.

Nader also asked me to encourage you all to donate to Ahed, an aluminum technician in Northern Gaza with three young daughters: Fatima (9), Iman (6), and Noor (2). Ahed has only raised $1,068 out of his $30,000 goal so far and desperately needs food for his little girls.

You are NOT helping trans women by shitting on trans men.

Do you know what you ARE doing?

- actively dividing the trans community

- declaring yourself worthy of speaking on behalf of all trans women (you're not)

- punching down on all trans men (ESPECIALLY, ESPECIALLY TRANS MEN OF COLOR)

- reinforcing incorrect assumptions of how oppression works

I saw a post saying that they had a friend that "claims to be ace, but wants to cuddle with me when we watch movies" and that they "think they might have a crush on me" LOCK IN!!!! DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROMANTIC/SEXUAL/PLATONIC AFFECTION!!

your blorbo is still aromantic, so how would that color their relationships? how would that affect their daily life? do they struggle with feeling “greedy” because they can’t love their partner back the way their partner loves them? do they have a hard time with an allo partner because on a fundamental level they don’t quite understand what romance is like, even if they’re experiencing it? on the positive side; what societal boundaries of romance do they cast aside or embrace? how do they navigate a romantic relationship differently than their peers? if it’s an aro4aro partnership, how is it unique? how much does being aro define their relationship vs. just their own personal quirks? is that even a line that can be drawn?

And then, much much later, you start to wonder why people are getting so caught up in drama for romance or sex, like, why bother? It’s not worth it, they’re not worth it, why are you doing stupid things for something that’s so- and then you wonder if there’s something wrong with you, start mentally over compensating. Like ‘uh, okay, um, who should I date? Who can I stand to date? Who could I stand to fuck?’ like- it’s not, it’s not something you want, but you want to fit in, to be normal.

Sometimes you don’t even know that you’re doing it.

Sometimes you don’t even know asexual’s a thing.

I dunno, I guess, I just feel like, uh, people should understand more?

i made barely enough to scrape by, overdrawing my account every single month working for this garbage company that sucked me dry of energy and joy

My old account has been suspended, and this is my new account.

I am Tamer Al-Deeb, a Palestinian dentist from Gaza.

We are a family of four.

We have endured so much and have seen death in-front of our eyes countless times. We have lost many dear lives, and we have suffered from displacement and homelessness for almost a year now.

We were forced to flee six times, lost our five-floor home, and I lost my clinic, my only source of income. We have spent all our savings in this bloody war, and we have no choice left but to seek life beyond the walls of this city.

Please, help us spread our campaign as widely as possible to save what's left of us.
