Edited by Dabney Stephens I wanted to fix a few grammatical mistakes.
Dabney / Dabbie (They/Them)
I'm participating in the Carnival of Aros, community questions :)
• Is your community interaction only online or is it also in real life?
- Online, but I plan for it to also be IRL someday!
• Are you planning to find/join a real life community this month?
- No, not this month, unfortunately.
• Are you part of a small community you want more people to know about?
- No.
• Is your community supportive or is it letting your down?
- Indifferent. I'd say it's supportive, but I just haven't seen many aro/ace experiences that I can really bond with. Most or the aro experiences I see in the community is the stereotypical, "I've never been in a relationship because I never cared for it", while I've dated many different people in my life- and it took me a long time to realize I was Aro-spec. Or an aromantic person who used to experience romantic attraction, but it went away overtime. I never see fluid experiences.
• Does your community celebrate or have an event you want more people to participate in? Perfect time to advertise!
- No. Though, I'd be interested in seeing other people doing this Aro Carnival Community question stuff. :D
• Do you think communities are important?
- Yes! Communities are so important- people need community. Without the LGBTQ+ community, I wouldn't know where's I'd be today. Community is important for every human being because it brings those closer together. We can all relate to similar somewhat experiences as aros/aces.
• What is the best part(s) of the communities you are in?
- Reading and hearing other peoples' experiences as aromantics/asexuals, seeing media like them going out to pride or getting their first aro flag. It's really beautiful to see.
Add-Ons:
• Do you identify yourself within the Aromantic Spectrum? If so, what?
- Yes! I identify as aromantic / aro-spec.
• Do you identify yourself within the Asexual Spectrum? If so, what?
