have me & my 50 cents escaped homelessness yet?

i searched "aplatonic" and got a buuuunch of pride flags

my point is please post more about how much you don't love your friends

in like any space possible just annoy the fuck out of people

or loveless joy, that's cool too

Alovephobia is: the discrimination against loveless / alove people

Loveless definition: Anyone who doesn't experience, relate, or identify with the term love.

Alovespec definition: Someone whose identity falls under lovelessness or is closely related to lovelessness when placed on the breadth loving and loveless.

It can also refer to people who don't wish to further label their identity.

Please @ us for any alovephobia you find.

My redesign of the aspec flag that includes other types of anattraction besides just aro and ace

(anaesthetic, aplatonic, analterous, asensual, +)

This kind of response to things I say about sex work, which isn't always phrased like this but almost always focuses on me being male or a man or my pronouns, shows a fundamental misunderstanding of why mansplaining is bad.

I am a sex worker. I have been for a decade. The majority of people I know are sex workers and I'm embedded in sex worker community. I started before 18 and have done it in brothels, cars, my own home, clients' homes, saunas, and hotels.

And like... you do get that that is kinda insane, right?

Because this is something that so often leads to suffering. And I am saying this as someone disabled, who had so many issues due to this in his childhood.

Just three examples: when I was 7, I was supposed to get checked for autism. My mother did not want an autistic child. Since she just could have a "neurotypical" child by refusing diagnosis, she did just that.

When I was 12, my mother had decided I needed a certain plastic surgery (one that had a minor health benefit, but still was largely a beauty thing). I did not want it. I really, really did not want it. We still went through almost the entire process until thankfully there was a doctor who went: "Wait, this is elective. I am refusing to do this on a child that does not want it."

And when I was 14 my mother refused to get me to the hospital when I had severe food poisoning. She refused me hospital treatment for almost two weeks. By the time I got actually taken to the hospital I was almost dead.

And here is the thing: all of this should just not happen. The doctor when I was 12 was cool, but... he refused to do the surgery because he had the right to make a conscience call. Legally my mother was in the right to force me into that elective surgery. And that just should not be the case.

A lot of children die and suffer due to their legal inability to consent - or refuse consent - to medical treatments. And I wish y'all would understand that.

And as a final note- this pride month, please start encouraging people to:

-Call non-binary people enbies/enben instead of "they/thems." Non-binary people are more than just pronouns, and not all of them use those pronouns anyways!

-Stop misusing AFAB/AMAB language [link]! AFAB/AMAB does not describe anatomy or socially imposed gender! It only describes an event at birth. Let's encourage more inclusive language!

-Stop perpetuating that intersex = third sex. Intersexuality is a wide spectrum!

-Stop using intersexist slurs (the h-slur, the fu-slur) and misusing the term intersex! Use proper terminology, like cosexual, dualsex, duomorphic, altersex, etc! [link]
