The Space Belongs to the Ace
Happy International Asexuality Day! I thought I'd make a tribute not only to all my fellow aces out there but also to space. To me, my asexuality is, on some level, connected to outer space, and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.
If you don't know what I mean by that, let me tell you why.
Space has always meant a lot of me as a kid long before I discovered my asexuality. It is defined as a near-perfect vacuum. Outside of celestial bodies, there is almost nothing out there. No air. No other signs of life as far as we are concerned.
Yet if you look beyond, you can discover something beautiful... You can discover stars that have been here for over a millenia. You can discover spirals that are expanding and will continue to expand. You can discover colours and shapes that can captivate you or even comfort you, telling you that everything will be okay.
That's how I felt when I was finally able to label my experiences. That same wonder astronauts feel when they make a new discovery about space? It is the same wonder I felt when I first heard the term "asexual".
Now there are people who are pushing us out of the LGBT+ community. Even after we built our own as they insisted, people still harrass us for "not being oppressed enough" or for "making up a sexuality" or even "endangering the kids by confusing them with something unnatural".
It's 2024. We can't keep pushing away our fellow members when the world is already pushing us away from society. Exclusionism has only ever served to tear us apart while the people who want to hurt us sit back and let us do the work for them. We can't keep doing this. We deserve to have our space.
We belong here too.

Aromantics are valid.
Asexuals are valid.
Aroaces are valid.
The world doesn't revolve around relationships, grow the fuck up.
If someone is happy single, then they are fucking happy. No, they aren't "wrong in the head", they are valid.
If you don't agree, stay the hell away from me.
There is a '+' in LGBTQ+ for a reason.
The 'A' is NOT for 'Ally', it is for Aromantic, Asexual, and/or AroAce.
People on the Aromantic spectrum and Asexual spectrum are LGBTQ+.

if you, like me, are asexual or acearo - I cannot recommend enough “Is Love The Answer?”
It’s a shojo manga by Uta Isaki. The space imagery, the artwork, the lovable characters, the explanation of a sexuality, and the relatability of it all made me cry by page 11.
It feels good to finally get some explicit representation of myself in anime/manga.
