“I know that what I consider confidence is mistaken by most for me wanting to be sexy. Being ace doesn’t mean I’m a prude or modest or celibate. It means I don’t experience sexual attraction. Point-blank, period. It has nothing to do with how I feel about my body. Nothing to do with how I choose to express myself. Nothing to do with me trying to attract a man or ‘trick’ people. Get past it or don’t. It’s not my problem. I’m not responsible for someone else’s arousal when everything I do is for myself.”
― Claire Kann, The Romantic Agenda

“I fucking hate that word. I hate that people think a diagnosis comes with armor. That strength is some automatic response to pain. I’m not strong. I’m just tired.”
― Elle Sprinkle, Like a Power Play
