More people need to hear this: all asexuals are valid, no matter where you fall under the umbrella, and no matter the "reason" you're asexual. You can be naturally ace, ace because of meds, ace because of dysphoria, ace because of trauma, ace because of a disease... Any reason that has an impact on your way to live your (a)sexuality, makes you a valid asexual and you're welcome in the community. Fuck the aphobes and the radicals who say otherwise.

Time to be more tolerant with myself. Less judgmental. Softer. Kinder. More patient. Because I deserve to treat myself with the same understanding I give others, with the same respect, with the same tolerance. I won't bully myself into becoming a better person, I will be kind and supportive of who I am while I am growing.
