With Bowstring Taut And Bootstraps Tight, The Arrows Come And Claim The Fight! Now You Can Rep Your Aromantic

Invisibility is Not a Privilege.

Invisibility means every person you come out to requires a vocabulary lesson.

Invisibility means the very nature of your identity is up for debate.

Invisibility means years feeling alone, broken, and unnatural.

Invisibility means you might not even consider the possibility that you’re anything but what society says you can be.

Invisibility means you have to find out about your own identity from strangers in small, distant corners of the internet.

Invisibility means being taught in school that your orientation makes you inhuman.

Invisibility means being told by educated professionals that your orientation is pathological, a mental illness, and Must Be Fixed.

Invisibility means taking an extra year to convince yourself that your orientation could even exist before you even beginning to accept yourself as what you are.

Invisibility means coming up with an arsenal of excuses for your lack of Normality, an army of justifications for living a life that makes you just a little more comfortable.

Invisibility means “acceptance” comes at the price of breaking up and stuffing away the things that make you you, and struggling to force yourself into a hole that doesn’t fit.

Invisibility means forcing yourself into relationships and acts that you don’t want because the alternative is taboo.

Invisibility means you can never really tell them who you are.

Invisibility means you can’t even feel pride in your community half the time, because the world is intent on destroying what little of a community there is.

Invisibility means facing a world of people who would have you bow your head and let them rewrite your identity for you; who demand your complacence while they redefine the things that make you who you are.

Invisibility means your suffering doesn’t even matter to those supposedly fighting to End All Suffering.

Invisibility means shame.

Invisibility means denial.

Invisibility means loneliness.

Invisibility is not a privilege.

To all the wonderful Aces out there

I’m sending all of my love to Asexual people at Christmas time. This can be an especially hard time for aces, especially if relatives and friends start questioning them about relationships.

Don’t feel like you have to validate your sexuality or reasons why you do not have a partner this Christmas. You should not be made to feel bad about who you are, especially as we near a new year.

Honestly I love this time of year, but the questions from family members drive me insane. For a long time I sat in silence, not speaking out against how uncomfortable those sort of personal questions made me. Not only did I feel uncomfortable, but I felt guilty for not having a partner/relationship. 

I have since discovered that I am on the ace-spectrum. I no longer feel guilty because I no longer believe there is anything wrong with me. I guess that’s the message I wanted to get out today.

Your sexuality does not define you. 

Your lack of interest in sex/relationships/ etc does not mean you are broken.

Also, if people make you feel that bad about you not being in a relationship, you should really reevaluate whether you need those people in your life. 

You should never feel guilty for who you are. 

You are wonderful just the way you are.  I wanted to tell you all that because there are probably plenty of people who won’t hear it from family/friends over this winter season. 

These are super cute!!
