Usually, I'm...I'm asexual and homoromantic! Usually, I'm not bothered by my orientation and I'm happy I've met some lovely people through the ace community. But it is difficult dealing with others' attitudes. I've experienced a whole ton of outright acephobia and plain impoliteness (just because I have an uncommon sexuality does not mean I want an in-depth conversation about my sexual history. That's upsetting. I don't want to discuss this with strangers or anyone, really). And when get really low, I convince myself that these people are right. No one's ever going to want to be with me. As if it wasn't difficult enough finding a partner as a girl who likes other girls, I also have to find someone accepting of my asexuality. I don't want to be pushed into anything I don't want to do but I want the romantic aspects of a relationship. Thankfully, I think attitudes towards asexuality are improving. It's slow, sure. But all that's needed is education and visibility. We're erased so much that many people don't know we exist. I myself hadn't heard of the term until I was 18. I thought I was broken before that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688575236166949747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627535531432337588.post-34527094565810230832016-10-29T07:56:07.709+01:002016-10-29T07:56:07.709+01:00This was very interesting to read, thanks for shar...This was very interesting to read, thanks for sharing Sophie!<br /><br />pinksmartiesblog.blogspot.co.ukMartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14493836561385676520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627535531432337588.post-90906442941925121322016-10-28T14:43:20.081+01:002016-10-28T14:43:20.081+01:00im not asexual but i have a friend who is and i th...im not asexual but i have a friend who is and i think i can understand him better nowAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894476469738663214noreply@blogger.com
