“There’s nothing lesser about friendship, nor is there anything wrong with who I am, I know this to the roots of my soul. It’s the only thing that keeps my head up when others in this village behave as though I do not belong, simply because I sing in a language they’ve forgotten and love in a way they refuse to understand.”
― S.J. Taylor, Being Ace: An Anthology of Queer, Trans, Femme, and Disabled Stories of Asexual Love and Connection

“If celibacy is the only way this world can think us real, then so be it. Let us cut ourselves from all the things people call living, cut those earthly ties, and become what they’ve always wanted us to be: unnatural, strange. Not part of what it means to be human.”
― Anju Imura, Being Ace: An Anthology of Queer, Trans, Femme, and Disabled Stories of Asexual Love and Connection
