I'm so glad this was all clarified! The comments in the last post were horrifying and close minded. I knew I was asexual before I even knew there was a term for it - in middle school. The things that I've heard from people in relation to asexuality have been pretty disgusting and ignorant and I despise the whole "use…

Same here. It was really distressing and threatening. But, it did serve as a good example as to why Asexuality belongs in the LGBT+ movement. It's stigmatized, seen as illegitimate, and most people think of it as something that needs to be treated.

You know how people can wake up with a mess in their sheets? Is it because they have high libidos for sheets? Or is it because your body has a hormone cocktail going on and your brain just made sure to prove it while you slept? You can have wet dreams without wanting to wake up and start fucking people, because you…

I found them super depressing too, and gross and offensive. It was especially disheartening that some of the denials were coming from people who identify as queer. Like you expect people to respect your sexuality, but you can't respect someone else's? Eww.

Good on you for doing this follow up, and on Cody for reaching out to give more details about the asexual community. As someone who considered themselves asexual for awhile but now doesn't really hold to any particular inclination, the comments on the first article were challenging for me to respond to but I felt a…

Thanks for clarifying. To be honest, I found many of the comments on the original piece really depressing, especially the repeated denials that asexuality was really a thing. I'm not an asexual person but I am queer and let me tell you, that shit made me feel uneasy about how shaky acceptance really is around much of …

I'm not a beard person, but I am a Chris Evans with a beard person.

Neither of us clean. We hired someone to and I. do. not. feel. bad.

Why do people hate Gwynnie so?

(Genuinely asking because I don't follow these things)

Ah, the Spruce Møøse, the kind of cognac that would bite your sister.

Corsets Work. More at 11.

I'm not outright rude to religious people, but after spending 20 years of my 30 year life defending myself from screeds about what a terrible person I am, or how I cannot have morals for lack of god, I'm not entirely sympathetic to this argument. Religious people are the vast majority in this country, and much of our…

if religion got out of the business of politics and morality-legislation (while being tax-free) i would be more on board with this... but the religious influence politics and make policies based on their religion that affect us all - as a non-believer, i don't tolerate that.

My GP recommended going to one because I used to have insane tension headaches. The chiropractor was able to pin point the origin of said headaches and show me what to do to relieve it, which actually helps. However, I call shenanigans on people who claim they help with things that aren't muscle or joint related (my…

Look, if you want an animal that can't claw you or your belongings, don't get a fucking cat. Even the best behaved cats may claw on furniture occasionally and cats very rarely claw a person without reason.

Absolutely not! Have you not seen Ghostbusters II?!? I'm almost positive that pink slime is toxic.

Seriously? No one invites people based on how much they expect to get as a gift. I think you're flat-out wrong there. I'm not inviting children because I don't care about most of the children who would potentially be at my wedding. I've never met them, they've never met me, and we'll likely never meet again. Why…

They loved their son so much that they killed their daughter.

I 100% agree with your comment. However, I would suggest that the link between poverty and sexual assault is located within the impoverished and violent male. While it is vital that we support the victims of sexual assault within impoverished families (the violence is the effect), we need to allocate an equal or…
