I was out with a friend a few weeks ago, and they were a little drunk when the conversation turned to my asexuality. At one point, they said they were going to find me a nice butch to just rail me, and then I wouldn't be ace anymore. I called out their behaviour on the spot as severely acephobic, but it has left a sour taste in my mouth.

I love my aceness, and I am tired of people treating me like there is something wrong with me because I am not sexually attracted to people. I am tired of people, especially other members of the LGBTQIA+ community, trying to "fix" me. I just wish more people would accept me for all of me, and that includes my asexuality.
