5:00 I FEEL YOU!!! When i found that i'm biromantic, i was in a very lgbt friendly school, my acceptance process for my bi identity was so... *easy* in comparison to my process with identifying, accepting and coming out as ace. It was so painful. Being bi was so easy.
I feel a lot more pride for my ace identity and i REFUSE to let people tell me that I'm only LGBT cause I'm bi
I find it sad how many aspecs are nervous or even scared about going to pride. Pride is supposed to be where we can celebrate and live who we are. Instead, most aspecs I've come across are worried about going at all or about showing their identity. This really isn't what pride should be about
❤️❤️❤️
Cherub Ody ❤️❤️❤️ will u be at london pride?
@@Embly99 Yess!! We're gonna watch the parade so I think we're gonna go to Piccadilly circus area xx
For me, it was kind of the other way around. I felt like I couldn't wear anything ace pride related without also wearing something pan pride related to a pride parade back when I IDed that way because as you said my romantic identity was the only reason some of these people tolerated me there. I'm not even gonna say "accepted me" because when you look at the way some of them talk about aces in general you'll see that they don't really give a shit about us, they just begrudgingly let us in.
Then I changed labels to aromantic because honestly? I don't think I've ever actually wanted to date any of my "crushes", I just couldn't fathom why I would hyperfocus on someone if not because of romantic attraction (spoiler: It's because I really wanted to be their friend and I'm bad at making friends with people instead of just "acquaintances").
The whole "You need SGA" threshold some people believe in makes no sense to me anyway because... I'm aroace and I still experience "same gender attraction", just not the kind these people consider to be valid. I like holding hands with girls and nonbinary people, I like cuddling with them, and one day I'd like to own a cute little house with a garden with a non-male quasiplatonic partner and it seems ridiculous to me that that isn't supposed to "count". I'm a girl who doesn't like men, but who do likes girls and nonbinary people but they won't let me in because they don't believe in QPRs and they argue whether what I want is "actually just friendship" or "actually a romantic relationship", which should make it clear that it's neither. It's its own beautiful thing. I'll find my own happiness far away from heteronormativity and exclusionists can stay mad about it in their weird corner.

But you can and you could find another nervous asexual and you could help them so think about it as if you are valadating others because deep down you know who you are and you atleast should know that you are valid.🖤💜🖤💜
Embly, you are perfect and brave. You are beyond all my experience and you provide so much wisdom to those struggling with these same issues. I recently came to accept my asexuality at the age of 28 and it feels really good, but it wasn't easy. I went through the same feelings of not fitting it.
Do this for yourself, do what makes you happy, f**k the haters and make the best of it, cause it will get worse before it gets better.
Thanks for all your amazing support. Keep healthy and happy!! Good luck!
I hope you have an AMAZING time at pride! You belong there, and I hope that you are accepted as you should be! 💜
I honestly dont think people are going to read too much into your eye makeup 😊 just focus on enjoying yourself! 💜🏳️🌈
This video makes so much sense to me. Though I realised I was bi for far longer than asexual, I find it extremely important to represent both identities as they face discrimination, stereotyped, and sometimes pass through the mainstream as “invisible” identities. You and me we are not invisible: we exist and we want people to know that we are proud of who we are.
I’m going to Newcastle (Northern) pride , my local pride, for the first time this year and will be representing both my ace and bi identities through my accessories. They also released a bunch of merch that covers flags from all parts of the LGBTQ+ spectrum, including asexual. I was speechless yet amazed at how inclusive it was.
Honestly just be you and show the world who you are, and they will see just how much you believe in, love and are happy with your identity. Mostly when people misunderstand an identity it’s purely lack of awareness. Awareness raising does a huge amount to change people’s thoughts and perceptions, and without people like you we would not be bringing to light identities such as asexuality and that we are here to stay and we are valid. I admire you so much for that 💖 Get our there and enjoy Pride!!

Thank god this channel exists
Did you go in the end? We had this pride's biggest ever bi group and world-first large (5 meter long) pan pride flag alongside (joined by velcro!) an equally large bi flag to show unity. It was amazing.
You could use makeup to paint ace flags on your face while having the bi colours on your eyes? Or just carry an ace flag around? (:
She said she would have an ace flag, but that people wouldn't recognize it and ignore it in favor of the bi flag that they would recognize, which, I mean, I guess could happen.
Hey, thank you for your video! It weirdly resonated with me. I will attend my first pride this month - almost three years after realising that I'm asexual (and i-dont-even-know-romantic). Your video kinda gave me a push to say "fck it, let's do it and go there". Sadly it's no pride you'll attend, as I'm in Germany and obviously attend a local one.
I 👏 WANNA 👏 WATCH 👏 YOUR 👏 VIDEOS 👏 AND 👏 I 👏 HAVE 👏 A 👏 HEADACHE 👏 BUT 👏 I'M 👏 GONNA 👏 DO 👏 IT 👏 ANYWAYS 👏
I can relate, for the most part. I always kinda knew that I was ace, but didn't publicly come out until recently. But my place in the romantic spectrum is still very much unclear.
Tbh, I'm still learning about asexuality in general. That's why I like your videos, I'm learning more and more about asexuality and they are helping me to better understand myself. They also constantly remind me that I am not alone. I mean, the only other aces I know live in the UK; I have yet to meet any here in the US.
Keep doing what you do, I support you 110%. I wish I could join y'all at pride, I guess I'll be there in spirit so to speak.
And as a matter of fact, I really like your make up and I think you look beautiful!💜
Have a good one and I apologize for the long comment.
Maybe spending all this time thinking about your identity and making videos about it isn't healthy and you should just go live your life. I know who I am (straight male but mildly gender non-conforming, I don't care about sports or cars) but I don't make videos about that or really think about it much. Also get Camryn on here more lol.
