This Is Aphobia

Pinned post

my school has this part of the hallway where they have a bunch of print outs of pride flags and the defintion of the term and they have both the ace and aro flags which made me happy, cuz like, ace pride isn't all that common, and aro stuff is almost never seen, so I like passing by it everyday, but today I was in that hallway and a kid (who I'm pretty sure is bisexual) pointed at the aro flag and said "this shit has got to be made up" :((

I don’t think I’m aspec or anything, but I’m planning to live a celibate life (religious reason) and I dislike how people act like me not having sex is a waste of a life :( my mom said sex is necessary for life. Sorry for intruding in y’all’s space but I don’t have a lot of places to talk about this

Apparently the Hot New Thing on twitter right now it saying split attraction just doesn't exist, which is crazy because do they just think every person on the aromantic or asexual spectrum is just aroace ???

"aroace barely counts as queer"

Saw someone call aromantic visibility day "aroace day"

Seeing demisexual be described as the friends to lovers sexuality really makes me feel excluded as an aplatonic demisexual

Happy pride month!!

I need to let it out, because I've been frustrated enough today.

I've been told that romance/otome games are for allos only. And that aces and aros don't belong and we should never expect to be catered to. And also that our representation and inclusivity for us makes those games ""boring""

it is aphobia if, on a post with a drawing of a character against the aroace flag eating cake, saying that the person headcanoned him as aroace, the first comment was "he can eat my cake 😏"

aphobia is my friends constantly going 'i thought you were supposed to be ace' when i make a sex joke... are sex jokes reserved for allosexual people now????? please just let me make sex jokes in peace.

Aphobia is many diagnostic tools in psychiatry having so many questions about romantic and sexual experiences that it's impossible to diagnose someone who never had them. Like. It literally happened to me. I was straight up told that.

Aphobia is having your friend constantly go “are you really sure you’re aroace?” when you even dare make, respond or understand a dirty joke. Even when you’ve been extremely firm with them that yes, you’re confident you are multiple times. (also yes, they’re ALWAYS referring to my aro identity too as if that has anything to do with sexual jokes).

One day I talked with my teacher about a book where the main character is aroace and she said that asexual and aromantic people sound like they’re broken and that something is wrong with them. It was surprising because she’s an ally to the queer community so I tried to explain the aspec to her. She just said that everyone will find romantic love one day. I wanted to come out to her as aroace before but then I didn’t have the courage anymore. She kept on saying that romantic love is the most important thing in life and it can somehow „fix“ you.

i use a microlabel along with other ones but one of them is Apothiqueerplatonic, or repulsion to qpr attraction
