Wow, can't believe I've been doing this for five years! Thanks again for the support! I'm thrilled to finally get feedback from you guys on polls. 🌈
Anyway, you can make requests for different flags for 2023 designs. I'll do them if I'm available!
Heart feather flags for days to round out pride month! 19 different styles.
This was WAY more of an undertaking than expected. Had to stop at 19 or I was going to go rainbow-ravin mad!
Me, staring fondly at my cat purring on my chest:
Fourth issue! Recently a friend of mine was criticising someone else for saying they watched a tiktok and thought they could be demisexual. and while i dont think that app is the best option for sexual education, it is true nobody at any point in my education talked about asexuality as an identity of many people, i really owe my realisation to being in fandoms and reading entire wikis about my favorite characters.
ID: a digital comic that consists of four panels, and features an anthropomorphic cat looking at their phone. The first panel shows a blue rectangle with text that reads "Trivia/ This character is asexual."; below the rectangle, the cat looks shocked at the text and asks themselves: "'Asexual'?". In the next panel, the cat is looking around while saying out loud "What does that mean? Isn't it a kind of reproduction... ?". In the third panel, the cat is hastily researching the word asexual in a search bar, some screenshots of the results are shown in the panel, regarding asexuality as a sexual identity instead of a form of reproduction. In the last panel, the background is the asexual pride flag, while the cat says outloud "Wait. That's me". End ID.

feeling the ace pride strongly tonight
I love being asexual. I love how it lets me understand the world. I love the ace community. I love headcanoning characters as ace. I love finding value in friendships and interests and knowing there’s more to passion than just sexual attraction. I love making dumb sex jokes despite being ace. I love flipping off purity culture by being ace and still advocating for the rights of allo queer people. I love accepting myself. I love being silly about society’s view of sex. I love how being ace lets me interpret and create art in unique ways. I love being able to live my ace life
Sexual attraction is just a trope they made up for tv shows and movies actually
good evening to every single asexual who has been pressured into doing things they weren't comfortable for them because of fear of rejection or harm if their asexual identity wasn't 'taken well', and every single asexual who had someone say they could 'fix' them, and every single asexual whose identity has been disrespected and trampled on in the LGBTQ community, and every single asexual who didn't have the courage to say no, and every single asexual who thought it just wasn't worth it to explain being ace to someone so instead just put up with uncomfortable things, and every single asexual who has been made to feel like their identity is simply 'innocent' and 'pure', and every single asexual who is sick and fucking tired of it all.
I believe you.
aromantic and asexual people are not inherently "miserable" or "unhappier" than other people. we are not "missing out" on something- if we do not experience these feelings to begin with, we have nothing to "miss out" on. the only time that aromantic and asexual people are miserable is when we are forced into relationships or forced to believe we "need" to be in one to be complete. destroy this argument in your mind- aromantic and asexual people define our happiness. we are not inherently miserable, we are doing just fine
For the world, for our families, for our friends, we have always been a subject of curiosity, bullying, and harassment. But we are sick of this. We, Queer people, are sick of complying with the rules, the social fabric and the society, that can’t see us happy, that can’t see us in love, that can’t see us living our life, the way we want to.
For almost two decades, Nepali queer people have been fighting for equal rights, regardless of the fact that that society and the country have always made them, migrant to their own home. They have been silenced, beaten, harassed, and even killed. They faced discrimination and humiliation from their friends, families, society and the state. But still, nothing has stopped them. Their determination and perseverance are exemplary, and not only are they marching the flags for themselves, but they are definitely making things easy for the future generation as well. To honour those people who have been fighting for equality, both on the frontline or in silent wars against queerphobia, we the team of Kaalo.101, initiated this visual archive project, WE ARE QUEER for this year’s Pride month.
The archive project is a documentation of Nepal’s queer movement, celebrating both small and big wins. It primarily is an online visual archive and showcases pictures of queer people, their struggles, their celebrations and many more.
With our collaborative effort, we hope to be successful in this project and hold space for discourses and create platforms for archiving queer history.
u can become fully immune to a lot of scaremongering transphobic headlines simply by being chill about otherkin stuff. 'what's next? children identifying as CATS and DOGS??' why not! i hope they have a lovely time doing it.
obviously being trans & being otherkin aren't directly equivalent to each other but like. a major part of LGBT acceptance is u know 'people should be able to do whatever they want so long as it's not harming anyone' so a lot of these slippery slope type arguments are just. very silly. it literally doesn't effect me at all if people want to identify as animals. also people have been doing that for years and it hasn't brought about the downfall of society yet so i think we are okay.
Did someone suggest I make an ace flag sweater?
Oh, yeah. It me.
I just saw a post with over a thousand notes claiming that asexuality is caused by medication.
Hi. I figured out I was ace twenty years ago. I only started taking any kind of medication a few years ago. I’m pretty sure those meds did not retroactively affect the me who learned she was ace twenty years prior.
Our orientation is not a side effect of medication.
There’s no way for it to be, regardless. Orientations are based on attraction, not libido.
Asexuality is an orientation.
You know what? I want a whole post for this:
non-negotiable!
I am a sex-repulsed asexual. This means that I am uncomfortable and repulsed by the idea of engaging in sexual acts. This does not mean that I have an excuse to be repulsed by other people's sexual attraction or the right to police how other people engage in or express sexual acts or attraction.
Young queer people need to learn the difference between sex repulsion and sex negativity, and actively work to unlearn sex-negative attitudes. Asexuality, even sex-repulsed asexuality, is and should be fully compatible with sex positivity.
If you are uncomfortable with the idea of other people feeling sexual attraction or engaging in sexual acts that do not involve you in any way, that is not sex repulsion it is the cultural Christianity and you need to seriously work on that.
