“I’ve always rejected the idea that virginity equates to immaturity and the concept of ‘becoming a man’ with sex as the gate. I’ve known plenty of people…who frankly disprove that theory…To be a man is to look out for others…you never stop learning, even if you’ve spent a lifetime teaching.”

New video!

Yesterday I learned of a horrific bill that passed in the Tennessee state Senate forcing public schools to teach “success sequence” in life is high school, then college or career, then marriage, then children — in that order.

As an asexual myself, I have heard so many times people claiming they can "cure" me of being asexual. I've had people say "You just need to get laid right", "You just haven't had good sex", & "You've never been with me.

And I've known many other aces who've heard the same.
A 1/3 of people in a study by Kings College London stated they believe asexuality could be "cured" through conversion therapy.

And yet, people claim asexual people like me don't face discrimination and hate.

I need to hear from some lithromantic folks if possible for something I’m working on. I want to ensure that what I’m working on is authentic and doesn’t misrepresent your experiences.

Please DM me if you can help!

Also if folks could repost this to get it out there, I would really appreciate it!

suicide prevention is access to birth control.
It’s HRT, for anyone who needs it.
It’s accessible, safe abortion care.
It’s comprehensive sex education that includes education about consent. No abstinence only.
It’s resources for single parents.
It’s resources for teen moms.

“Isn’t that just like everyone else?”
“Do they just fall for their friends?”

Demiromantic identities are far more complex than the one-track questions they’re often asked. Join me in exploring this diverse part of the #aromantic spectrum in this new video!

Also to help make it easier to find and order Limitless, to organize all of my work that I do into one place, and to prepare for whatever lies ahead with social media, I’ve created my own website!

I have literally waited over 25 years to make this announcement… I’m publishing a book!

Just got my windshield replaced after a rock cracked it on the freeway earlier this week. Thankfully my insurance covered the whole thing 🥹 I’ve been so anxious about this all week. The cold weather and all the freeway driving I have to do for work really did a number on it. Stretch the whole way.
