  1. I think it's natural to assume someone is aromantic if they tell you they are asexual. When someone tells you that they are bisexual, or heterosexual, you assume that they are also biromantic or heteroromantic respectively. It doesn't mean that it's right, but I definitely don't blame people for assuming so. Especially if they are unfamiliar with the aro/ace communities.

  2. In my dad's very eloquent words, asexuality is 'bullshit'. I coordinated with agent zemaddog to gauge his reaction to asexuality. I didn't even mention aromanticism. Mum doesn't know. Unless dad mentioned it to her. My sister is very accepting of it, however.

    I know right? I mean, what even is a quark? Therefore he doesn't exist either! (;

  4. Background: I visited Zema's house yesterday, and they drove me home. We hung out in my room a while afterwards before they left.

     

    This morning:

    Dad: "So, is he your boyfriend?"

    Me: "... No. They're not even into women. They're asexual." (I'm closeted in all shapes and forms.)

    Dad (thinking I was talking about myself?): *turns away* "That's bullshit. You like girls?"

    Me: "No..? I said zema, and not into women."

    Dad: "That's f-ing weird. Why're you mixing with him them?"

    Me: ??????????????????????????????????????????????????

     

    -5 minutes later, me in the other room with my cat trying to eat my hair-

    *dad walks over to me*

    Dad: "So what's this... Asexual?"

    Me: "It means... You're not interested in anyone... In that way..." *awkwardly, kind of put on the spot*

    Dad: "Bullshit."

    Me: "What do you mean?"

    Dad: "I've never heard of that. That's bullshit." (he really seems to like the world bullshit)

    Me: "People can be attracted to the same gender, opposite, or both-" (my parents are too closed-minded to think there's more than 2 genders, I have to go along with it while I'm with them) "-, so why not none?"

    Dad: "Whatever. I've never heard of it." *mutters some more*

     

    Unless he's completely stupid, he's going to put 2 and 2 together and figure out that I'm asexual as well. Or at least 'think' I am, in his opinion.
