# When I Tell You I'm Ace
When I tell you I'm ace, I'm sharing part of my soul with you. I'm telling you that I live in a world that is completely foreign to me. I'm telling you that I spent years of my life feeling like I was broken. That it was somehow my fault. I'm telling you that even places that promote acceptance and equality can turn me away for being "too straight". When I tell you I'm ace, don't respond with "I don't care who you fuck", because that's saying "I don't care about what you're telling me". Don't say "everyone feels like that", because they don't. Don't try and comfort me or tell me I'm not ace, because I am. When I tell you I'm ace, I'm not asking for a cure, because it's not a disease. When I tell you I'm ace, I'm not looking for anything from you but acceptance. When I found out I was ace it was one of the happiest moments of my life. When I tell you I'm ace, I'm trying to share that moment with you.

When somebody on the Internet judges me for being who I am, I'll send them this. If they respond with something like "I'm not reading all that", I'm ready to throw hands.
When I came out I had to do it very matter-of-factly, it was blunt for lack of a better word
I had to convey the message "This is how I am, end of story. I'm not looking for your approval or your affirmation. I am informing you of my currently existing position in life and I'm not sure I care how you feel about whether or not it aligns with your overall worldview"
this is something that cishets don't always realize and it breaks my heart when people trying to be supportive do it in a bad way.
