Trans day of visibility and ace day fall in the same week? I had no idea

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's a pleasant surprise, and almost as much as it was for trans day being on easter this year.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, i shared my birthday with that silly holiday this year, most of my family totally forgot because of it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well, Happy belated birthday to you! Sorry to hear most of your family didn't take the time to show some level of care. Have an extra slice of garlic bread.

Serious question: is there a day for people with hypersexuality

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not that I am aware of, or that an internet search lets me know. But then, hypersexuality is not considered a sexual orientation, rather a condition.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Dang. Thanks for looking it up.

Wow... way to totally misunderstand something.

Hey, if you didn't like the post you could have been more respectful about how you said it. The "be aware" is a bit of humour.

You come off real preachy and rather disrespectful. This is posted in the ASEXUAL community for ASEXUALS. I posted it in solidarity with my fellow asexuals. Don't like it? Block the community or me.

My sexuality is part of my identity. We don't constantly go around telling people we don't have sex and it's pretty wierd that you would say that in this sub on this day.

Way to be an ally. /s

Edit: asexuality isn't a disability, take that comparison to the thrash heap.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Asexuality isn’t a disability but I don’t think that was what they were saying. I think they were comparing, not equating.

And asexuality is in an odd, and perhaps similar, spot. Where it’s nice to be seen and accepted, but also to be left alone at the same time?

I don’t think they meant anything rude is what I’m saying. Speaking as someone whose sexual preference is “no”.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It's the first two sentences that set tone for me.

Especially when it's about awareness day.

Mentioning it in the same sentence with disabilities (especially when they go on tangent about how much it's mentioned) when it used to be in the DSM is sus in my opinion.
