You have been accepted community members since at least the 1990s – at the time I write this, that’s over twenty years. Most LGBT+ organizations recognize you as members and include you. Stonewall flies the ace flag. Studies find that most LGBT+ members think aces and aros belong. Not everyone knows about asexuality and aromanticism, nor does everyone completely understand it, but they know you’re here and queer.

The discourse is mainly on Tumblr. It gets shut down on other websites, or argued with to the point those voices excluding you are in the minority. For every ten posts you see excluding you and being aphobic on Tumblr, there’s fifty more arguing for you elsewhere.

Don’t be fooled into thinking you don’t belong. Stop making posts wondering if you’re truly allowed or welcomed. You’re already here, accepted, and loved. It doesn’t matter if you also fit under the L G B T Q P I or N letters or just the A. You’re not cishet, you’re LGBT+. You’re part of the community. Aphobes are fucking liars with nothing but hatred and ignorance in their hearts. Don’t listen to the bigots.

Eeeyup. I’ve been attending pride events since i was 11. You’ll see a lot of flags of different colours at them. You will absolutely not see REGs.

The whole BASIS of REGs is that they’re in situations where they’re isolated from the MOGAI community and prey upon others who are as well. The reason these people are isolated, if not just circumstantial, is because they were thrown out of pride for being rotten to begin with.

This group is always changing and shifting and accepting/adopting new identities. They did this with bisexual people, too–calling them ‘bihets’ and recycling the same discourse.

You belong. Tbh, ‘cishet’ doesn’t even mean much anymore. They call me that too, and I’m literally a nonbinary lesbian, lol.
