So many times I've wonder why I am the way I am, like all of the signs are pointing to a genetic dead end between being ace and on both the aro and NB spectrums, possessing all the traits of an extremely awkward introvert, plus the mental stuff I've got going on, but it's really reassuring to see someone so lovely openly acknowledging the same thing and being proud of it...
That was a really long winded way of saying I love u Snazzy ma m8, XD. Never stop shining Queen!
(Also the AroAce bubblemuffin nickname is admittedly equal parts adorable and fitting for some reason <3)

Thank you! Since my sibling is nb, neptunic, and questioning their place on the aro or ace spectrums, and I'm AroAce, we have a running joke that "the bloodline dies with us!" My parents would like to have grandchildren, but it's not up to them :). Instead of the usual get-married-have-kids-find-a-nice-house-in-the-suburbs life plan, I'm planning to find a house with a bay window (idk why but I've always really wanted one) in a smallish town, live there with a cat and possibly Silkie chickens, and be a librarian. Oh, and watch my sexist homophobic grandfather explode when I'm living my best life without a husband or kids. That'll be fun.
You never stop being as effervescently fabulous as you are, either, queen (or monarch, dynast, gerent, benevolent overlord... whatever you prefer :) )

Soo...I accidentally came out to this kid at school today? We were doing this activism project for ELA, and his was about LGBTQ+ students, so he was drawing a bunch of flags. We were casually talking about random stuff, when he messes up on the bi flag, and says something like "aahh, the bi community is gonna hate me" and then I responded with "nah, it's okay I don't hate you." And it took us both about a second to realize what I'd just said, and he was just like "okay...uh, happy pride month?" and I was kind of stunned too so I responded something along the lines of thanks, you too, and that was the end of that. So yeah, *throws bi colored confetti*, I guess?

Even down to orientation (although I still consider myself to be on the AroAce spectrum).
I've been slowly sliding into my new set of pronouns (xe/xyr/zer) and have begun using a more gender-neutral nickname, but it's still kind of really weird for me to just shed the label of "female," even though I don't feel like that's what has ever best described me.
I think, at least for me, transitioning into being considered non-binary for as long as I can remember has been so scary for that reason. Like, it's hard to just be like 'I'm neither male or female,' when the entire world seemingly has always had such a separation, in which each individual had to be one or the either, plus you've been raised as one or the other for most of your life. I feel like it's hard for other people to know to expect from you too. It's a very strange, sticky situation, in a way.
If you wanna talk about your situation more, I'd be happy to listen! :)

It's frustrating that people are like "tHeRe's OnLy mALe aNd FeMaLe."
Like, have you heard of intersex people? There are people who are biologically neither male nor female, so it's frustrating when you refuse to use people's proper pronouns.
