@ ace teens: you are wonderful and valid.

You aren’t sexualizing yourself by calling yourself ace.

You aren’t sexualizing other teens by calling yourself ace.

You aren’t being homophobic by calling yourself ace.

If you feel like ace works for you, use it.

It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t fit later on or others think you’re too young or whatever.

Only you have the ability to label yourself, and whatever label you choose is totally valid.

If someone asks you if your “a Gay/Lesbian/etc” in That Tone™, its okay to say no, especially if saying yes is potentially endangering to you and puts you at risk for ridicule and humiliation.

You’re not denying yourself or misrepresenting the community, you’re protecting yourself and that’s your number one priority.

Don’t feel guilty for keeping yourself safe.

Is there a sexuality for being Greysexual, but when you can have sex/feel sexual pleasure, it's intense, and lasts a few days at that same intensity, then just, dies like that....Also...I don't know much about Greysexual within itself, other than "between asexual and sexual" and being able to feel sexual pleasure only sometimes/under certain circumstances.

That, by my understanding, is the exact definition of greysexuality! Obviously it will vary a little from person to person, but if that’s how you experience it then by all means own it!

You may also want to look into the term acespike, which means exactly what you described almost word for word. -Mod Brynn/Bo

No amount of gender dysphoria is required to be trans!

If you are trans and experience a lot of gender dysphoria, your gender is valid! - I hope that you find an inexpensive piece of gender affirming clothing this week, or can get that haircut that you’ve been wanting.

If you are trans and your gender dysphoria fluctuates, your gender is valid! - I hope that today you don’t have strong dysphoria. If you do, you will make it through!

If you are trans and you don’t experience any gender dysphoria, your gender is valid! - I hope no one tells you that your transness is fake. They’re wrong!

(Cisgender/non-trans people can reblog!)
