Cheering you and Ace Dad on, Cody! Your post hits very close to home and will likely be the subject of a similar post sooner than later. Thank you for reminding folks being ourselves is part of the rebellion and resistance. Joy and love are too. ๐ŸŒˆโœŒ๏ธ

Thank you, Cody, for saying that just living my truth as an ace queer person is an important act.

I'm not out to most people because asexuality has felt like a non-thing, not worth talking about. Thanks to your writing (and others'), I've slowly accepted it as more than just a personal, private identity.

I may never get more out than just wearing my black ring (which, dammit, everyone now assumes is an Oura ๐Ÿ˜ ), but this post gives me a lot of courage.

It's one of the most important acts, honestly. To live authentically in a world designed to fight back authenticity at every step is radical bravery. It's revolution.
