SUDDEN IDEA
detectivepunchymchitsthings:
you know how there’s lgbtfest over on LJ? what if there was an acefest, too? and/or arofest? do these already exist? is anyone interested? i have found the asexy valentines fest, but it’s focused pretty much just on asexual romance, and what about demisexuality and grey-a and aromanticism and queerplatonic relationships? i just really want this, okay?

According to my psychology professor, we do not exist.
According to her, we are wrong for existing.
My professor flat out said this morning that she does not “believe” in bisexuals. She proceeded to say that the only valid and real orientations are heterosexual, and homosexual,and nothing else…

I genuinely wonder if asexual people are more likely to also identify as some form of genderqueer or trans*
Do you guys know of any decent studies in this regard?
There haven’t been any formal studies, but there have been informal community polls that have found higher rates of trans*, genderqueer, or other non-cis gender identities among the ace community.

Asexual PoC
asexualeducation:
A new tumblr blog has been created specifically for those who’re PoC and asexual. I would highly recommend following it even if you’re not a PoC but only to observe and learn, rather than contribute.

Calling all NZ aces - 20/20 NZ interviews
avenpt:
20/20 NZ would like to cover asexuality! Are you in New Zealand and interested in asexual visibility and education? Asexuality is apparently still a relatively little discussed subject in NZ - despite the asexual character in Shortland Street - and it would be great to get it into the mainstream media.
Any volunteers, please email us at aven.pt@gmail.com as soon as possible, and we’ll...
