#demi-ace

The demi-ace pride flag! I noticed that this  orientation didn’t have a name or a flag, so I made one! The demi-ace pride flag is for people who are romantically attracted to some genders, and sexually+romantically attracted to others. I myself am romantically attracted to girls, and sexually+romantically attracted to boys!

You are valid. If you only feel sexual / romantic feelings when emotionally close to someone but no other time. You are valid you are still ace / aro. You can be in a relationship and still be ace / aro. You can fall in love and still be ace / aro. You can want romance and love and NOT feel romantic attraction. You can be repulsed or not be repulsed. You are still valid. You can have a relationship without sexual attraction or s*x. You can have a relationship without romantic attraction or romance. Every relationship is valid. You are valid with and without a partner. You are valid if Hetero Aro and Hetero Ace. You are valid if Cis or Trans Ace / aro. If you are aro or ace in any way shape or form you ARE VALID Ace / Aro no matter what some gate keepers and aphobes alike say. YOU ARE VALID. YOU ARE LOVED. YOU ARE ACCEPTED. My page will be a safe space for all of you. Because I know how it feels to be invalidated as an asexual and gray aro. I love you all. Even if I haven’t mentioned you or explained your situation if you are anywhere on the ace / aro spectrum you are a valid ace / aro. No one has the right to take that away from you. If you one day no longer identify as ace or aro that is okay too. Life is about discovering ourselves and sexuality is a huge part of it just like morals and values are. Your experiences are valid, your choices are valid who you are is valid. So if you identify as something one day its okay if you don’t the next. Because life is about discovery and learning most importantly about ourselves. I know its hard to ignore the discrimination, hate and nasty words and harassment. But please know you DO belong. You ARE valid. You AREN’T broken. You are loved. You are important. You are precious. This world would not be the same without any of you. Any of us. If your family doesn’t accept you if your friends don’t. You still have the community you still have all of us. We’ll be your family we’ll be your friends. You can choose your friends and family. Family isn’t always by blood and no one says you have to stay with those who don’t love, appreciate and understand you. I do ask one thing. If you are not out of the closet yet. Don’t come out, not until you know its safe to. If your family or friends have any chance of abusing you... Wait until you are safe. It sucks, it feels like sh*t but your safety needs to be your first priority over all else.  And if you are in such a situation. Escape as soon as you are able to. Escape and free yourself and then..then come out and be who you are without fear without hatred without pain. Be yourself when its safe. Because you WILL find those who love and accept you no matter where in the spectrum you are. You will be loved. A song I recommend to you if you are struggling is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYoapICIfeE I myself and other friends have found it a great comfort. Please know you are not alone and you never will be. Just hold on until you can get out and are safe. Just please try to hold on until you find your true family and friends. Until you have a true home filled with love and acceptance. Theres nothing wrong with you. You’re valid. It’s going to be okay its going to hurt to wait and hide but its for survival. One day you will get out, one day you will be free. Hang in there. Hold on, breathe and focus on just getting through each day. Don’t focus on getting through the week, month or year or however long. Focus on the present focus on each day. You WILL get through this.

My girlfriend helped me acknowledge my genderfluidity today--! ^^
