What we’re about
If you're anywhere on the asexual or aromantic spectrum, this group is for you. As an ace/aro, it can be tough to meet others like you or find people who understand how you experience the world. Let's get together to have fun and support each other!
It is my hope that this group will be a safe place to build community for aces and aros, where there is space to be ourselves with minimal need to educate or convince others we aren't broken. With that said, there is a wide range of experiences on both spectrums. Please bring your curiosity and openness and leave name calling and accusations at home. This space is intended for open dialogue to learn from each other at your comfort level. It is always okay to express if you are uncomfortable, and we will discuss the best way forward.
In order to create that space, at least at the beginning, membership is only open to those who identify on the ace or aro spectrum. I will clearly label events for inviting partners, friends, and other allo allies. This allows all members to know what type of environment they are walking into and choose what is right for them, while also including other important people in our lives at events.
I'll be starting out with events that I'm familiar with, such as hiking, table top games at coffee shops, or zoom events. I'm open to suggestions for additional events, so feel free to chime in! And while I highly encourage feedback, please give it gently. I am organizing this group with my own time and money, and I am trying my best. I know from organizing another group that it is easy to burn out with negativity.
I can't wait to meet you!
