It’s radical because for once, a disabled character isn’t denied her desire or reduced to inspiration porn. She’s just a woman. A woman who wants. A woman who feels.

I'm currently watching "The Monday Night War". There was a lot of sexualization in pro wrestling in the 90s. It was there before and still is there today. But the level of sexualization was definitely at it's peak at that time.
And today I finally know why I was never drawn by that. I actually felt more alienated from the product due to my asexuality. It was just stuff I didn't want to see. Might explain as well that I couldn't buy into the early WWF attitude era as much as into the WCW/NWO.
This week, there was a scene on AEW Dynamite where a guy was trying to buy himself into a stable by offering the guys of that group about eight women for a night. That wasn't just sexualization, but plain misogyny. The scene lowered my perception of an otherwise great episode by a good margin.
@independentpen @actuallyautistic I feel totally free to be my #asexual self. I don't mind that other people do it, it's just not something I've ever wanted to engage in personally.

Turns Out J.K. Rowling Is Mad at More Letters Than Just the “T” in LGBTQIA+
On International Asexuality Day, Rowling joked she would like to observe “Bored of This Shit Day.” https://www.them.us/story/jk-rowling-international-asexuality-day-tweets-criticism #asexuality #acephobia #JKRowling #asexuals #asexuality
And Then JK Rowling Came For the Asexuals...

#Asexual people have always existed. But in a world obsessed with sex, their existence gets continually erased — sometimes through silence, sometimes through mockery, and sometimes through loud and proud ignorance.

Oh I have a timelapse of this comic up on Tiktok if you're keen to watch:

I'm proud to be #Ace and I embrace my #Asexuality. Especially if it offends assholes like #JKRowling.
Work was a bit too exhausting for me to get in on the Int'l Asexuality Day bandwagon yesterday so here I am still tired af and a day late.
I'm ace, I'm kinky, and I'm into rubber and a bunch of other things, and I'm here to make it everybody else's problem in all the good ways.
(I don't have much choice in the matter anyways, because I'm a bit stuck in this formal pride suit! >////////>;;; )

Anyway, don’t let haters spoil your joy. Don’t even put them under a spotlight.
Let them seethe, and let yourself be in good spirits. Happiness is the best revenge.
It would appear that Miss Joanne Rowling has once again shown that she is completely ignorant of something relating to the experiences of #LGBTQ people. A shocker, I know.

Anyone who calls the International #Asexuality Day a "fake oppression day" has NO idea what the fuck they’re talking about. It’s embarrassing.
And SMUG those weirdos are. "lol you're not murdered in the streets so it doesn't count".
It would be funny, if it weren’t so sad. We just want to tell the world it's OKAY to be #asexual, to educate people.
Discrimination is still real tho, I just cited scientific data. I guess that doesn’t count either then?
Weirdos.
The results of the recent #ace #study "#Asexuality in the #UK: Public attitudes towards people who experience
little to no sexual attraction" have some not-so-encouraging numbers. I’ve decided to annotate some of the graphs in that paper.
("Direct" and "List" refers to different methods to present the prompt, see the paper for details)

All people who answered "No" here would have lost at the first question in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, AFTER taking the 50:50 lifeline.
