I Understand Now... · 11:10pm Feb 16th, 2021
For years, I've felt like I was different from everybody else. And by that, I'm not just talking about the fact that I have Asperger syndrome. I'm talking about a very different topic... Romance and sex.

I personally identify as Ace Biro and I want to build up a discord server for those along the asexual spectrum (ace, demi, grey, aego, ficto). A server acting as both a hangout... and support group if anyone needs it. But I wasn't sure where to search for such individuals who would also have similar interests in media. Then I remembered I'm literally part of a wonderful community of people who are not only fans of MLP, but also writers and artists.
I discovered/realized/admitted I was asexual back in 2021. Here's to another year of understanding oneself, to finding the words that were always there.
I first encountered the concept of asexuality years ago, back when I watched season 3 of Bojack Horseman in 2016. But I never stopped to think if the label might apply to me. "That's not normal. I'm normal. Therefore there's no need to examine the idea in further detail."
I discovered/realized/admitted I was asexual this year. I've always been asexual, it's just that now I have a word for it.
Asexuality is a complicated topic, and I'm hardly an expert. But feel to ask any questions you feel like in the comment section. I won't be offended.
And to start you off, here's some questions I've fielded in real life so far (mostly from my family).
...but that would imply I was straight! badum-tish!
Also, I didn't get straight A's. Stupid physics.
I digress, however. The point is, I am asexual, aromantic, and very probably agender. I don't think I have a gender, and that strikes me as the sort of thing someone would know about. Since this is the first day of Pride Month, I thought I would take this opportunity to clear up some common questions and comments about asexuality and all the other "a" identities.
Hey! A friend created a group for aces/aros and a/arospecs! She already promoted it in the LGBT+ group, but I'm promoting it here.
