theaceandaroadvocacyproject: Our final article for this Ace Week, focusing on moving beyond awareness, highlights the experiences of demisexuals and gray-asexuals. There are some highlighted quotes on the images above, and we encourage you to read the full article here: https://taaap.org/2021/10/30/ace-week-21-demi-and-gray-aces/Thanks again to all of our contributors who helped make this Ace Week informative and engaging![ID: Two infographics with the heading “Demi and Gray Aces” and three quotes on each. The first one shows the gray-asexual flag, and reads: “While the asexual community at large publicly embraces the idea of the asexual spectrum, this is not always supported by individuals and organizations in a way that is inclusive.” - Elle Rose. “I wish more allos knew that we’re still not allo, even if we do sometimes experience attraction. Our experience with attraction is still different in many ways than the allo experience.” - Ashlee C. “To myself, I’m simply me: somewhere in the liminal space between sexual and asexual. Not knowing where I fit in, but at least, finally honest with myself.” - Justin. The second one shows the demisexual flag, and reads: “I wish Allo people knew that our orientation isn’t something to debate or argue about because no one knows how another person feels and it’s not their place to tell you how things work in your life. Just listen and be considerate.” - Kimberly Butler. “We’re as ace as you. We’re just experiencing it differently. We also belong here.” - Elle Rose. “[The ace community] needs to stop clinging to the notion that asexuality is a clean, easily-defined binary of sexual attraction versus no sexual attraction.” - Justin.
