Does anyone else’s friends treat them like an “innocent”?
My friends know I’m aroace. They are all allo as far as I’m aware and don’t understand my aroace-ness but they don’t give me any outright aphobia so I’m fine with it.
However, they act like I, a woman in my late 20s, don’t understand sex talk and make me feel like a clueless child whenever the topic of sex stuff comes up. I get snarky comments like “do you even know what that (dirty) word means?” It’s like, just because I’m aroace doesn’t mean I live under a rock.
