Here’s a comic I made about identifying as asexual and aromantic! I made it for an anthology which ended up falling through, so I thought it would be a good idea to post it on Valentine’s Day.
ICYMI: In which a 13-year-old boy comes out to his best friend via text message, and adorable unconditional support ensues. Ain’t nothing wrong with being gay, my friend. (via BuzzFeed)
what makes it more adorable is he offered to call when he knew something was wrong
Banvard and Nadeau, both veterans of different wars, have been together for 25 years. “What would it have been like if you didn’t meet me?” Nadeau asked Banvard.“I would have continued being lonely,” Banvard replied. “I’d have been absolutely lost.”
Your love story of the day: John and Jerry. (via Jezebel)
a cute girl casually came out to me the other day and I handled it so gracelessly that I might as well have just stuck my entire foot in my mouth instead
anyway we’re dating now and the first time she kissed me I said “thanks for that, I appreciate it” because I have no idea how to function
I proposed to her twice (with & without a ring, the first time it was without a ring because I was worried she was gonna propose first) and she cried both times
3 ½ years on T, 3 years post top surgery, and turning 55 in July 😳. It’s never too late.
❤
This makes me so happy
Never too late!!!!!
Whoever this is, bless you. Fucking bless you. Even if I don’t have the resources to transition soon, this gives me hope that I can still become the man I want to be 20+ years in the future. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And thank you to everyone who reblogged this until it reached my dash, too. Thank you for giving me the ability to see this. I have HOPE now.
This is so important! I feel like there are never enough images of older trans people
We frequently get people asking if it is too late for them to transition. The answer is always no. It isn’t too late. There are people who transition in their 50s, 60s, and beyond. It’s never too late to be comfortable in your skin.
I assure you if I had known about aromanticism and asexuality when I was in middle school I 100% would have identified as both. But if I had tried to do so and then was told by a bunch of adults (especially LGBT+ adults) that I was too young to claim those identities I can’t even imagine the spiral that might’ve caused. How wrong or even more damaged I would’ve felt.
To any minor who is worried they’re too young to identify the way they do, don’t worry. People say you’re “too young to know” but I don’t think that’s a thing.
We should all be open to the potential for change and growth in our identities as we learn more about ourselves. So if a kid thinks they’re one thing and then they get older and realize they’re a different thing – cool! Same goes for an adult. Same goes for a senior citizen. Age isn’t a factor. We’re all constantly growing.
Identify as you see fit and let yourself be okay with it if it changes later on. Change is scary and exciting and human.
