With the renewed (and thankfully mostly positive) ace and aro discourse, can people PLEASE start writing “cishet allos” instead of just “cishets” when referring to those outside the queer community. I mentally correct it and assume good faith when encountering it but it always stings a little. There are so many cis aces and aros who are hetero-oriented but that makes them no less valid. Thank you

don't know who needs to hear this but being queer isn't a competition. if you're a homosexual transgender woman that doesn't make you "more queer" than say a straight transgender man or a cis bisexual person or a heteroromantic asexual person. this is not a hierarchy, this is a community. these labels aren't stars on a uniform determining your rank; just because you have more doesn't mean you are somehow superior to the other queer identities, they belong in the community just as much as you do.

I was wondering what people in the whump communities sexualities were since a large percentage seems to be neurodivergent and/or female.
Edit: Since some people are pointing out that aromatic is here, I wanted to specify what this poll is asking. It is asking what your romantic AND sexual orientation is, hence why there’s a button for multiple. No hate to any of the people who mentioned it and I can see where they’re coming from.
Reblog for a bigger sample size please.

Cakes and sexuality
There's a buffet restaurant full of cakes of all sorts- The two most popular ones are the chocolate cake and the cheesecake, but there are many others as well. Cakes are also sorted into two types, ones with a stronger flavor and ones with weaker flavors.
When you enter the restaurant, you get a ticket saying 'typical menu', with one of the popular cakes written on it.
Heterosexual: You eat the cake written on your ticket.
Homosexual: You eat the cake not written on your ticket.
Bisexual: You eat both. It's a buffet, so why not?
Omnisexual: All cakes are great, but you do take note of the flavor before you eat it.
Pansexual: You don't care about what flavor the cake is- Cake is cake. You can even put a blindfold around yourself and eat whatever you feel like.
Polyamorous: You eat two cakes at once, flavor of your choice, because why not? The combination's nice.
Demisexual/demiromantic: You need to know enough about the cake before wanting to eat it. You don't feel the urge to eat random pieces of cake.
Asexual, alloromantic: Cakes with strong flavors aren't to your taste. You go to the line of cakes with weaker flavors and pick one you like.
Asexual, aromantic: Cakes aren't for you. This doesn't mean you hate people who like cakes. You go to a different restaurant and have whatever food you like.
It's that simple. Cakes. Everyone has different preferences, and it's nothing to get worked up about. Basic common sense to simply respect each other, right?
Unfortunately, this isn't what's happening in our world. Just because you eat the cake not written on the ticket, people are condemned, berated, and abused. You're deemed wishy-washy or a fake when you say you like to eat more than one cake. People don't understand when you say weak-flavored cakes are fine- "Why can't you eat the strong ones, then? Those are 'real' cakes!" You're either called a cold-hearted psychopath or swamped with people trying to find you 'the cake' that can 'warm you up' when all you want is no cake.
But I want to tell everyone reading this, you're not alone. Whatever way you want to eat(or not eat) your cake(s), I fully support you. 'Cake is cake', and people who don't like cakes or can't eat them? Cool!
Have a nice day and don't be deterred by whatever may block your way- I'm sending a week full of good luck to you!!!!!! :D

Hi! I have a question: what does it mean to be heterosexual aromatic? I’ve been using the aromantic label for awhile because I’m not attracted to anyone, and I kind of assumed that’s just what being aro was? I’m pretty new at this (still in high school) and a little confused on labeling. I don’t mean this to poke fun at anyone I’m just confused
so aromantic means that you don't feel romantic attraction to anyone. asexual would be if you didn't feel any sexual attraction. aroace is for people who are both, or are on both spectrums.
heterosexual means you feel sexual attraction to a different gender to your own. so pairing that with aromantic means you don't feel romantic attraction to anyone but you feel sexual attraction to a different gender.
hope this helps!

Is me specifying I’m arospec heterosexual minimizing the struggle of being open about one’s sexuality? Because despite being arospec and having struggles with it throughout my life I still have straight privilege so I don’t wanna be insensitive. I don’t feel comfortable calling myself a non-arospec straight person tho.

The fuck do you think the A stands for?? This world is so normative of sex and romance that these people even get bashed in their own community. LGBTQ isn't just boykisser girlkisser!! Hope this helps 👍
Anyways I love you aroheteros. I love you aceheteros. I love you aroaceheteros. These people are assholes and I've officially decided that 2024 aphobia is cancelled

What does Elsa want?
Tumblr media
Since I’ve been on a bit of a Frozen binge recently, I was having some thoughts:
If anyone’s been in the Frozen fandom for as long as I have, we’ve all wondered whether Elsa would ever become attached to someone. The early Jelsa shippers, Helsa (which I do ship, I have my reasons, don’t @ me), #giveelsaagirlfriend trending on twitter, the newer Elsamaren shippers, and so on. Ever since Disney realized the franchise potential of this story, that's been the big question brought up for the past decade.
I will say I can definitely understand the perception of Elsa being aromantic/asexual because honestly, think about it: considering her past struggles with controlling her powers and her fear of hurting those she loves, it’s probably very difficult for her to be vulnerable with other people, even platonically with her own family. If she was that uncomfortable being around others and trying to manage her issues, how uncomfortable is she with being in love? Being desired? Wanting to be with someone?
No matter what options they go with for her in the 3rd sequel, it might be an interesting perspective to see this more vulnerable side of Elsa, if they choose to give her a romantic partner, because for the past two movies we’ve only gotten the perspective of her focusing on herself. She wanted to learn the truth of who she was and to make her peace with it, no longer denying her magical abilities or trying to shove them down out of fear. She wanted to reconnect with her sister and try to have a family again. But what does Elsa want for herself beyond that? Who can really stand on her level and approach her?
In spite of her connections with her sister and the rest of her family, there is still a level of unapproachability to her because of the dissonance between her humanity and the almost mythic nature of her powers. Even though Anna loves her sister, we can observe that even she struggles sometimes to understand Elsa’s powers, especially her role as the Snow Queen/the 5th Spirit, and Anna falls back in awe of her like everyone else. It’s like this quote from the movie The Philadelphia Story (which is a great movie btw, highly recommend):
Tumblr media
“You're like some marvelous, distant, well, queen, I guess. You're so cool and fine and always so much your own. There's a kind of beautiful purity about you, Tracy, like a statue.”
To which Katharine Hepburn’s character replies:
“I don't want to be worshipped. I want to be loved.”
Does Elsa want that kind of love? So far, the answer’s been a tentative “no,” at least from the writers and cast. Whether it's because of the potential conservative outcry or disappointing the lgbtq community yet again is anyone's guess, but for now I can only assume that leaving her unattached has been the safest option for Disney so far.
But since we’ve already crossed the threshold of Elsa’s self-acceptance and self-realization of her powers, where do we go beyond that in terms of her character? It’s only natural to wonder what she wants beyond understanding herself, being comfortable with her powers, and being accepted. She has a supportive family, is making friendships with the Northuldra, and has a kingdom that loves her, but does she stand alone or can someone meet her at her level? Romantically or otherwise? Who can challenge her, really?
Tumblr media
Tracy Lord: "I don't seem to you made of bronze?"
Macaulay Connor: "No, you're made out of flesh and blood. That's the blank, unholy surprise of it. You're the golden girl, Tracy. Full of life and warmth and delight.”
Does she have to remain this mythic goddess that everyone admires, who has to have a dress transformation/inspiration anthem about self-actualization every movie? What if she had a moment where she was grounded and had to focus on something besides her powers? What if she lost them? How would that affect her character then?
Those are questions I hope might be answered in Frozen 3. I'm fine with whatever choices they make in terms of her sexuality, as precarious at that may be, but I just think it would be an interesting aspect of her character to explore whether or not she could have an equal, or whether or not she can finally come down to earth.
Tracy Lord: "How do I look?"
Seth Lord: "Like a queen. Like a goddess."
Tracy Lord: "And do you know how I feel?"
Seth Lord: "How?"
Tracy Lord: "Like a human. Like a human being.”
