What someone says: I have romantic feelings for you

What I hear: I have decided, based on nothing that has to do with you, that you are going to solve all of my problems and make me happy forever, and when you inevitably can't do that I am going to be hurt and disappointed and maybe even mad at you

y'all go follow my friend junie! she's amazing and yes, i think it is largely due to the overwhelming things that happened last year that kinda brought down our expectations and excitement for a new year.

2021...I have no reason but I’m really sad about it..

If you’re thinking about calling a trans woman “male” or a trans man “female”:

What ur preferred pronouns say about u

She/her - you’re valid

He/him - you’re valid

They/them - you’re valid

Neopronouns - you’re valid

Neopronouns are not a “tumblr fad”. Gender neutral pronouns other than they/them have existed in the English language for actual centuries. They are not harmful to the trans community.

To those who are against neopronouns, you’re acting against the evolution of a language and acting against something that’s been around for far longer than you’ve been alive.

To those who use neopronouns, your pronouns are not harmful. You do not deserve to be made to feel ashamed for your pronouns.

how will asexuals enrich the lgbt community with their inclusion?

Okay, so let’s get this through your thick, exclusionist skull. (I’ll use small words)

How does anyone “enrich” the LGBT+ community?

Enrich, according to the dictionary, means a number of things.

1. to supply with riches, wealth, abundant or valuable possessions, etc.

In this way we bring the same thing you do: Some of us are able to donate money and resources to things like the Trevor Project or our local LGBT+ offices and their outreach programs.

2. to supply with abundance of anything desirable, such as knowledge.

Hi! I collect lists of websites and books and groups that portray and/or teach about different LGBT+ identities so that I can give them out to people who have questions. There are a number of us (asexual, aromantic, and agender individuals) who do similar things in order to enrich our communities.

3. to add greater value or significance to.

More voices = louder communal voice. You want people to listen to you about issues and struggles that our community faces? You’re gonna need more voices.

4. to adorn or decorate.

There are a good number of us who are artists. We design your posters and t-shirts and murals. We don’t just create art for our own identity, but yours, too.

5. to make finer in quality, as by supplying desirable elements or ingredients.

Every person has something good in them that they can bring to the table. By denying a whole group of people, you are denying their ideas and their resources and their personalities. You are denying all desirable elements that could build your community.

Now, this is slightly off-topic but it connects: The rest of the LGBT+ community (including you aphobes) talk a lot about how being gay isn’t just about sex… And yet you exclude us because some of us don’t like sex.

Kinda seems like you’re just shooting yourself in the foot there…

anyway, the idea of “the one” is so innacurate and outdated. there are literally so many people that you could be compatible and share a really strong emotional connection and healthy relationship with. like if you think about it... even in platonic terms, friendship. how many best friends have you had throughout your life? your childhood best friend? high school best friend? college best friend? these were all people you were very in tune with emotionally and shared a meaningful relationship with. did they not understand you? did they not see you for who you were? did they not love you unconditionally? and you did the same. in a world w 8 billion people, one person was not the end all be all. remember that if a relationship dissolved it was for a reason; it wasn’t meant for you. there are plenty of people with whom you can form bonds with. who are willing to meet you where you are, and do what is necessary to earn a place in your life through consistent effort and actions. the “one” doesn’t exist, and they’re not out there for you to find.
