it’s so wild to me when ppl say aroaces are “basically straight” or “straight by default”. i’ve NEVER been romantically and sexually attracted to a man in my whole life. that’s not straight. HOW is that straight? just because i’m also not romantically or sexually attracted to women either? being straight doesn’t mean you AREN’T attracted to ppl of the same sex, it means you ARE attracted to ppl of the opposite sex. i literally don’t know how else to explain it. i have as much in common with straight ppl that lesbians do, which is nothing.

people are so entrenched in heteronormativity they expect you to prove not-straightness in the manner and to the degree they find acceptable because ‘you are straight’ is their baseline

It becomes evident that aspec is queer within 60 seconds of trying to explain asexuality and/or aromanticism to the average straight person.

How much notice will we have before genloss goes live? I have to ask for time off work pretty far in advance and I don’t want to miss it
