You can have a romantic relationship with no sex if that's what you want. Being a sex repulsed/ambivalent asexual, or otherwise not wanting sex, will not stop you from finding love and having a healthy and loving relationship. Sex is not a requirement for a relationship.

Equality and justice are just words,
Here.
Such a grim statement,
I felt the chill travel down your spine
and into the void between
being and nothingness
And you'd say, there's hope.
There's value and ideals
and none shall tear asunder
what was joined by God
And I pray from my rope,
the wounds don't heal
and clear skies shout thunder,
the whole thing is odd
There's no justice,
not as the word is defined,
There's a place to collect pity
and an endless waste of time
There's no equality,
no curves on this table
lies boldly draped in fable
and is it hard to see?
In time to this march,
My drum beats true
Without any lessons
The knowledge comes through
There's a heart, in life
there's love and that's enough
There's a heart, to fight for
there's a reason times get tough
What more
can a being wish?
What to hope for,
But love.

I went off on twitter. This was mostly about sexuality, but it fucking applies to gender too, Melissa.
Transcript:
“Why are there new terms for sexualities? They sound made up.“
Yes, Susan, that’s language; A BUNCH OF MADE UP SOUNDS THAT EVOLVE OVER TIME
This isn’t the 40s, Bob; I’m not a hep cat homophile, I’m a tired lesbian who wants you to leave the nice demi/pan/aro/ace/etc queers ALONE.
All they wanna do… is have a nice succinct name… and a nice little flag… AND WALK IN THE PRIDE PARADE LIKE THE REST OF US, MIKAELA.
I’ll put it this way:
"If thou dost protest thine word’s natural evolutions, mayhaps THOUST GET THEE TO AN INN FOR THINE ELDERY, HORATIO.”
Perhaps… have some empathy & maybe think about how people are different from you & that doesn’t invalidate either of your feelings, Chad.
“Everyone has to make an emotional connection before they’re sexually attracted to someone.“
No, Lucy, I’d bang hot total strangers.
But hey… if you think that… maybe… YOU SHOULD LOOK UP THESE SEXUALITIES YOU’RE SAYING ARE MADE UP AND REASSESS YOUR’S, SHAKIRA.
We make up new words b/c we need a new word. That’s how you know that an “app” is the word for the application on your microcomputer, Lou.
So I’m sorry if you’re lazy/new words scare/threaten you in your old age. But these are my queer sisters/bros/NB kin & they’re REAL & VALID

So I saw a post that reminded me of this so I’m gonna post before I forget-
The idea that all Bi+ or Mspec people who aren’t Bi must have internalized Biphobia is terrible, slightly manipulative and shows a lack of civility.
If your first thought when you see someone not identify as Bi is that they must have internalized Biphobia, then that’s a *you* issue.
You cannot magically decide that you know someone’s experiences. Someone using Pan, Omni, or Ply while knowing that Bi could technically fit them doesn’t mean that they have internal issues with bisexuality.
Internalized Biphobia is a terrible thing, I’ve experienced it, so I know how it feels. To know “I am this but it’s wrong” to be constantly doubting whether or not you have a right to be in a community or whether or not to run to another label altogether(the later happened when the BaB movement happened). And yeah! Some people do only ID as non-Bi multiple gender attracted labels because of internalized Biphobia. But guess what? Saying that they are harmful won’t help them, and it doesn’t help anyone else either.
To tell some stranger that because they view their orientation or how they want to label it differently from yours that they have internalized issues is terrible. It tells a person “I know you better than you know yourself” and it makes them feel lesser, like they must have internalized Biphobia, and that they are hurting all bisexuals, which causes self doubt and only further pushes people away from the community.
To tell someone, often even a child, that because they use a different term for themself than your own that they are inherently harmful, is horrific.
TL;DR
In reality, the whole “internalized Biphobia” argument, seems to stem from 1. Misguided good intentions that turn sour 2. A feeling of superiority or 3. Fear. Fear that someone not using your label when you share experiences is a personal attack on you and your community.
Claiming that someone using a certain label must have internalized Biphobia diminishes people’s experiences with it and just harms people in the long run.

I always wanted to believe
That my heart was beautiful
I tried to be perceived
As if my truth was suitable
To be accepted instead of rejected
Maybe let my heart sing
Or my soul take flight
Dig out of the darkness
And reach for the light
If I could see clearly
I could be held dearly
By those who feel me,
Not the facade but the real me
I don't need to be loved
By everyone in the world
It's enough to be everything
To my one favorite girl
And she can make me shine
more brightly than I ever had
It could be a true life
and not just a fad
I always wanted to find
A place where my heart belonged
I tried to be something else
and I was always wrong,
It took so long to become
strong enough to be weak,
I've never been quite sure who hears
The words I speak
I want to believe
that my life means more
not a commodity,
they don't sell this at the store
I need to be better
than the lies in my mirror
If I can open my eyes
and for once, see clearer
My worth, my value
in this dream of blurred faces
I can fill up the empty
and live in safe spaces
I always wanted to believe
that my heart was beautiful
and I never did.
And now I see
That I was showing it
to the wrong people
I am standing in the waves
as they try to wash me away
the voices of reason speak
but I don't hear what they say
I was made strong
through pain
and darkness
has grown me
I have opened my eyes
I will see the love
that life has shown me

“Those poor boys”
“She deserves to be punished too.”
“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”
“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”
“She put herself in harm’s way”
“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”
“She ruined their lives.”

In this life, you'll face adversity. Many say nothing is guaranteed, but adversity is universal. You will face problems and you will face obstacles. What makes the hugest difference for you is how you deal with those obstacles, how you face up to your adversity. In my life I have encountered so many problems and been presented with obstacles and adversity, sometimes more than my share, I felt. I have wept and fought and complained, and none of that is wrong, but none of it helps.
The only thing that has helped me is something I learned in my first year of customer service: don't pass blame or complaints, try to find a solution that serves all needs. Whatever you face, try to overcome with alacrity and an eye toward solutions. I cannot guarantee you that you will be able to overcome all your adversity, but I can guarantee you that seeking solutions for your problems will always take you further than crying, complaining, or assigning blame.
So when you find yourself staring at a mountain, start climbing. If you see a chasm below you, look for a way around. When you lose something you thought you couldn't live without, realize that you are still breathing. When you face up to your situation, you can find reserves of strength you did not know you possessed.
