I have a story lol
These guys in my Spanish (Idiot, popular cishet guys for context), were pestering me about my orientation bc I made a joke with my pan friend, so after thirty minutes I sighed and told them.
Of course, they didn't know what AroAce was, so I tried my best to explain it. We went through the whoooollle cycle man...
They asked
"You reproduce asexually??"
"Have you been, like diagnosed?"
"Wait so you see like someone hot and just... nothing? That's so weird!"
"So you're a plant??"
- (One of them asked when I knew I was aroace, and the other guy asked -as a joke- "Yeah, when did you sprout?💀)
it was pretty funny ngl. Like they genuinely didn't understand it. Props to them for trying to tho, I was surprised by how genuine they were at some points.
I still shake my head thinking about it.
