I hate how my friends are so closed-minded despite literally being lgbtq+??? Like one of my friends who is bisexual thinks they/them pronouns and non-binary people are weird and they're just making stuff up and being delusional and she said that if a trans person is a bad person then it's ok to misgender them because trans people "have to earn it" (it meaning to be called by their pronouns) like what???? Nobody in their right mind would misgender a cis person because they need to "earn" or "deserve" being called by their pronouns so why would it be ok to do it to trans people??? And like I get that if the person did bad things you would lack respect for them but their gender identity has nothing to do with it.
On another note, I'm aroace and nobody takes it seriously and it's so annoying. Like I told my friends about it and said something like I'm gonna be single forever in a joyful way because I am happy to stay single because I am aroace and they said noooo you'll find someone NO, NO I WILL NOT. That's the point, I don't want to "find someone" because I want to stay single because I'm aroace. I don't know if they aren't familiar with that orientation or what but I mean two of these people I said it to are bisexual so I thought they'd have more understanding for having an identity that may be different from the majority or whatever. And one of them thinks that he may be demisexual but is unsure and that would make it even more confusing if he is because like brother... We're literally on the same spectrum??? Another one of my friends thinks that it's some kind of disease that I don't want to be intimate with anyone, which I honestly don't even want to comment on.
When it comes to my family, I didn't full on tell them I'm aroace because they don't support the lgbt community but I did say numerous times that I don't plan on finding a partner and I especially don't want to have kids. And again, they don't take it seriously. They say "you'll change your mind, you'll see", and they keep talking about me getting a boyfriend and starting a family like it's an inevitable part of the future, as if I didn't tell them it's not happening.
And don't get me started on people online saying that being asexual and/or aromantic isn't real and it's made up and people who identify as such just want attention like omfg it's the 21st century and we're still doing this? Let people exist. Or don't, I don't wanna exist anyway.
