It’s now 2023, and I fully embrace my identity! To those who are still finding themselves, no matter how young/old you are; people are more complex than words can define; asexuality is a spectrum so even if you don’t find a label. That doesn’t matter.

Even if the answer isn’t with you right now, you may find the answer come to you later. You know your sexuality better than anybody else.

You are worthy of love! Much appreciation for all aces.

    Ayy there’s an Ace community again! I was 25 when I finally pieced it together. Thanks to the resources at /r/asexual.

      Yes! It’s here! The more aces the better! - Just as there is a support network on reddit, there belongs one here too!

        Edit: I did the search in the wrong place, apparently there are some already, nice.

        I’m curious when Aro/Aromantic might appear on here, it was nice occasionally checking there from time to time. And yes, I thought of that because I saw the second bracelet,(? If that’s what those are called, I’m not great with putting correct names to things consistently.) and thought it’d be nice to point that one out too, especially as I’m also Aro as well.

          Yeah it is! I love the bracelets they’re pretty and glow when they catch light. I don’t like wearing them too much only for special occassions I’d be gutted if they broke The ring and the bracelets I got when I was just finding my identity and they mean a lot to me now.

          Also yes! I’m Aroace too! I’m not sure if there is an aro community on Lemmy yet. I haven’t checked. If there isn’t I am not opposed to aromantic content being posted here too as a means to signal boost.

          Edit: Seems there is one here: Aromantic Lemmy Community though not sure how active the owner is

            I’d just checked, there’s at least two communities, albeit super small, 1-3 people maybe one has 13 as of now, the other has 42.

            Edit: I found that one too, as well as aromanticism @lemmy.world, although I’m not sure how to do links to places quite yet. And I linked the same one of two, fixed now, and maybe fixed the link? Unless !aromanticism@lemmy.world is the correct way to link it? I’ll just do both and figure it out eventually. Both work on one app, and only one works on two different other apps, neat.

            Edit: Somehow typo’d an “n” instead of an “m” again after fixing that last night, for reference, the one starting with ! works on Liftoff, and the one starting with /c/ works on Liftoff, Connect, and Jerboa, and on Liftoff specifically, the ! version opens directly to the community independent of my instance, and the /c/ one opens the community as viewed from my instance.

            In the off chance the link to the other one above doesn’t work on a specific platform, !aromantic@lemmy.ml might work.

              @aromanticism or !aromanticism should be the way to do it? I suspect we’ll see some changes to stuff like this so the two apps integrate better at some point.

              EDIT: Oh, the guy is just sitting on the name to protect it from trolls. Anyone who wants to mod it can ask for it.
