And I just feel like that’s kinda wrong. Hear me out:
While both are represented by the A in LGBTQIA+, they are there own identities that deserve full attention during an awareness week. Ace Awareness Week is labeled with Asexual, and instead of trying to remind people that Aromantics are also an important and valid identity during this week, where people have to focus on just being heard, Aromantic identities should have a week dedicated to them so that they can share information, stories, connections, and history instead. While we both share the A, we aren’t the same, not in such a way that we should have to share an awareness week. The focus shouldn’t have to be “remember we exist” but instead “Here, learn and grow, and let us be the focus too”.
At least that’s how I feel.
If you think I’m being ignorant or misguided, please, let me know?
