[ID: meme with two panels.
Top panel: two red buttons one is labeled with: "supporting nonpartnering aros" the other is labeled with: "supporting partnering aros". There's a hand reaching out, with two fingers going to press both buttons.
Bottom panel: image of an illustrated person sticking their thumb up and smiling approvingly.

ok real talk aro to aro one of the best things you can do for yourself is find other aros irl. i know that sounds literally impossible and it sure as hell can feel like that but being able to talk about our issues and our culture and our experiences face to face with an actual person and not just an icon and handle on a screen will literally change your life. i’m not even being hyperbolic. go out and find other aros. it’s worth it

My First Experience with Major Aphobia
I've lived a pretty happy aroace life. With an exception or two, nearly everyone I've come out to has been kind and curious. I knew aphobia was a thing, of course, but I didn't know it personally.
Until two weeks ago.
I'm a fantasy author with two published books featuring aromantic and asexual teenage protagonists. I am so proud of my babies. They are everything my little aroace heart needed as a teenager.
I have an amazing publisher who is supportive of my characters' orientations. But we had an opportunity to team up with another publisher to create curriculum courses based on my first book, Legend of the Storm Sneezer, for schools. Everything was going swimmingly until I made a Pride post where I mentioned, as I had countless times before, that my main characters are aroace.
And this publisher dropped me like a hot potato.
I received an email terminating our contract. Their reason? Because my characters are aromantic and asexual. It was like a slap to the face. I couldn't believe it. I was heartbroken and angry and hurt. And it didn't end there. The publisher went on to make videos and interviews with conservative social media influencers to make fun of my queer identity and style, and even partook in a smear campaign where they stole my pictures and intellectual property and slandered me thoroughly in an article. It's honestly the worst thing that's happened to me in my career.
But guys, the backlash. The outpour of support for aroace folks. The people who took up arms and fought against aphobia, supporting me, my books, and our community's identities. It was so beautiful my group of aroace writer friends called it "Chickengate" -- the day we stood up to aphobia (the publisher's name has to do with chickens, FYI).
It was a hard blow, but I've come through this so much stronger. My community is stronger. My identity is stronger. My faith is stronger. So, when you face aphobia, remember Chickengate and be strong!
Also, if you want to REALLY stick it to the aphobes, you can check out my fantasy series The Stormwatch Diaries for SO MUCH aromantic and asexual rep. It's perfect for fans of Doctor Who and The Owl House.

This is something of a sequel to my original essay on being loveless.
It's also a discussion of the ways love is wielded against allo-aros, the a-spec community's ongoing conflation of love and attraction, and the impact allosexual aromanticism has on my lovelessness.
Because too often, unfortunately, I see loveless aromantic identity communicated and celebrated so as to exclude me, and other allosexual aros, from it.
I hope that's something we can begin to change this Aro Week.

Starting this year Aromantic Visibility Day!!!
June 5th during pride month!
Tumblr media
[ID: the text: Aromantic Visibility Day, June 5th
Aromantic visibility day is a day to celebrate and raise awareness for individuals that are aromantic. Aromantics experience little to no romantic attraction, though they may still experience other types of attraction.
It's important to recognize that everyone has their own unique experiences! Aromanticism is a diverse spectrum. Not all aromantics are the same, and it's important to respect their diversity.
We encourage everyone to show their support and solidarity with the aromantic community on this special day and to be mindful of aromantic representation in society.
End]
Here's the twitter account that's starting this!

worst thing ever is when someone is describing a character who has no interest in romance and relationships and then labels them asexual
