his family is keeping things private
What I mean is that there are probably a lot more out there that we haven't even heard about. People's whose stories have been silenced by their families and society. Or maybe trans people living in underdeveloped areas where no one really understood or cared about their struggles. I don't know, just the possibility of there being out there makes me incredibly sad.
I am glad that Zander and Damien's stories voices are being heard though. Maybe the world can learn something from this, though I wish it hadn't been at the cost of two young men. Really, really hoping Damien survives this one.

I feel, given events in another thread this should be bumped up.
Ghost Soda
(he him or they them)
Or, better yet, sticky'd?
see what confuses me when people talk about a specific trans person is that I never know which gender they're referring to. Do they call him a Boy because that's that he wishes to identify himself with, or do they call him a girl because that's his true genetic gender
Usually it's the gender they wish to identify as.
I'd love to know how may aces are here.
I'm guessing I'm the other asexual you know of. (Being we were talking about it earlier on the other tread and all, haha.)

hello! I'm pretty sure there's more lol
Yes, you were
There probably are, but I don't really ask people about it so I don't know where they are lol
Also, I read Zander's suicide note on Tumblr. It was heartbreaking, but I hope he's finally at rest in his death. Whatever comes after life, I hope he found peace.

Nice idea. I'm going to copy you both.

what do purple spades mean
The asexual pride flag contains purple, hence the colour. The spade is because a nickname for asexuals is "aces", hence the spade (as in ace of spades, probably).
It will be pretty embarrassing if I turn out to be wrong now ?\_(ツ)_/?

You're right as far as I know.

We have another symbol too. Some aces, including myself, wear ace rings. A simple black ring, which is normally worn on the middle finger of the right hand. I've not met another asexual in rl who does this though.

I've seen people wearing them but I don't have one myself. I'd quite like one.
This ring is apparently also an ace ring, which is interesting:
Another thing, a question for the other aces: are there any things people ask you or tell you that get annoying? I dislike the following:
"Doesn't that mean you make offspring by splitting in two?" That's asexual reproduction.
"You just haven't met the right person."
"Are you secretly self conscious about your body?"
"It's just a phase" I'm sure people of most sexualities will hear this one at some point.
"You're probably just a lesbian in the closet" To which I say "No, I'm heteroromantic". And the reply is almost always...
"How can you be attracted to a guy if you don't like sex?"
I appreciate people wanting to learn more, I really do, but I can't help but get slightly annoyed at these questions. Not annoyed enough that I can't cover it up, though. I think people are less informed on asexuality because you hear about it a lot less than sexualities such as homosexuality, bisexuality etc.
I've said 'sexuality' too many times now. The word's gone weird.
