8 PAGES - 5.5" x 4.5" - FULL COLOR

A short 8-page zine about the kind of bad reactions I was exposed to when I first came out as asexual aromantic. This isn't a fun romp through the positive aspects of being aroace (trust me, they exist! It's not a miserable existence like other people may make it out to be) and is more of a collection of the things that made me doubt my identity at the time. While I don't think I can 10000% fit into a single category, I still stand firm in my pride of being on the asexual spectrum and think we're as worthy of love and respect as anybody else in the queer community. I just was kind of sick of seeing only happy, non-challenging comics about what it's like to identify as an aromantic asexual. Sometimes queer people need to know they're not alone if they're alienated by their own family, community or even their own brain. Self doubt and societal pressure is going to be a problem if you come out, but as somebody who's been using the label for two years and has been out as queer for nine, it's so worth it to finally let the world know who you are.

But yeah this mostly just...focuses on the bad aspects because people REALLY like to deny aroace people go through any form of discrimination and I'm here to prove that wrong. There's your warning. Lots of aphobia, mentions of past abuse, etc.
