Hey lovely folks of fedi who are anywhere on the asexual spectrum [lgbtqia.mywikis.wiki]

A friend of ours¹ thinks they might be asexual, but they're doing the doubting questioning thing (i.e., the thing we mostly all do with sexuality, gender, romanticity, neurodivergence etc.)

Please may we call upon your collective knowledge and experiences to share what asexuality means for you and help us bust some myths for others who might be questioning too?

Thank you kindly in advance

Boosts appreciated

¹ Yes: we genuinely are asking for a friend! We are very much allosexual ourselves

Edit: Changed the link, per a recommendation for a better wiki page

Edit 2: Thank you to all your varied answers so far! Please keep them coming! Hopefully this will help our friend and others who are questioning. But anyone wondering about us, your experiences very much confirm how allosexual we are

Does our education teach us about LGBTQ+ experiences?

I'm reaching out as part of my master's dissertation project, and I'd love your help! I'm interested in hearing from all undergrad students in England, whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or not. I'm looking for volunteers willing to spare one hour for an online discussion about your experiences of learning about LGBTQ+ experiences through the education system.

The interview will be held online, and if you're interested please fill out the form below or reach out to me at k2035700@kcl.ac.uk if you have any questions. Thankyou!

We finished our 3-year #BattleForWesnoth #Genesys #ttrpg a few months ago. By then, I was out as #asexual and my spouse as #trans, which meant more open conversations about sexuality between us. Looking back at the whole campaign now, we saw that my wife’s PC, the outgoing half-elf/half-human ranger/bard Tric Manu is #aro and #ace. I must admit, I have never understood the trope of horny #bards. If you’re interested in one who definitely is not, check out our #DiceyStories #podcast. #AceWeek

For today: “Loveless” by Alice Oseman. I learned of it from a Rowan Ellis video. This is another #YA novel, and unlike “Elatsoe” it is centered very much on the aro/aceness of the protagonist. Though the British university experience is far removed from my life, I saw a lot of my teenage self in this. And not just in Georgia, but also Sunil and Jason. Understanding that there’s a distinction between #aromantic and #asexual was important for my personal journey.

Your Pal Cal @thecalchemist@sunny.garden

Hello everyone, I’m freshly migrated from the main instance! I think this is the perfect place for me to be since I love spending time in my sunny little concrete garden.

My name is Cal and I’m in my late 20’s. I have two pet #snails and several #plants, and I enjoy things like #art #cooking #baking #gardening #hiking #camping and various #crafts. I’m #gay #asexual #poly and #nonbinary (I use he/they pronouns!) I am a #socialist and I am #ChronicallyIll #Neurodivergent and #Disabled. I have an interest in news, current events, and politics, though I’m perhaps not as active as I might be.

Some other tags I use include: #Anime #Manga #OnePiece #Pokemon #drag #rpdr #BloomScrolling #LichenSubscribe #MagicTheGathering #books #SnailPosting #FoodPorn #photography #macrophotography #comics #MarvelSnap #selfie #horror and many others!

I am always open to chatting and I hope to have a great scrolling experience with you all! Nice to meet you everyone #introduction

Seven potted plants in a row. There is a white ceramic mushroom and a small Litten figurine among them.

It’s me! Backwards cap, black glasses, black studs, a little scruff. I’m wearing my Gengar shirt and showing off my rainbow phone case with a Tony Tony Chopper sticker on it.

As someone who falls into 3 of these categories, I feel very called out by my own meme

A meme image of 4 arms / hands reaching out & grabbing another hand's wrist, forming a kind of square.

Hand 1: Trans & non-binary folks

Hand 2: Bi & pan folks

Hand 3: Aro & ace folks

Hand 4: Neurodivergent folks

In the middle between them all: "Wait... doesn't everyone feel this way?"

Before I fall asleep, I just wanted to give a shout out to all the asexual folks out there

You're all truly ace
