Kansas Officially recognized Ace Week! ...Now what?

Is Aro rep beating out Ace rep in picture books?? Today we talk about the flag-forward type of representation in children's books Under One Rainbow and Grandad's Pride.

Today we discuss a recent article about Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) from the New York Times. This is simply one recent example within an increasing wave of backlash against often life-saving medical care that reinforces its point by medicalizing sexuality and demonizing queer people.

The man who once said that Asexual men are the most dangerous people in the world and claimed that college protests are a result of students not having enough sex is on a press tour, hitting all of the major news outlets and podcasts, calling Asexual males "a new species". But in using this dehumanizing language against our community, he's ignoring one of the three pillars that make up his own framework for masculinity and failing to be a Protector.

GLAAD released their 2024-2025 "Where we are on TV" report. They cite only 2 asexual characters on TV this year (a decrease from last), but unfortunately ignore key details about them, making this report underdeveloped and poorly edited at best and inaccurate and dismissive at worst.

The final installment...for now.

Yet another type of romantic and/or sexual feeling that we will simply never understand...

Ketamine can be a life-saving treatment... It can also be prohibitively expensive. And only fellow chronically ill Americans will believe the audacity of our health insurance company revealed in a series of phone calls we've had this month.
