I’ve watched The Big Bang Theory for a few years now, and while I loved the first three seasons (although not without reservations at some of the sexism and laughing-at-you-not-with-you mentality), I found that recent seasons have not been appealing to me as much. Season four – where my enjoyment of the show started to … Continue reading »

Finding Asexual Characters
There’s always a lot of discussion around of major TV characters (such as Sherlock and Sheldon Cooper, for example) being asexual. So I thought I’d put together a list of four other, perhaps lesser known characters – from books, movies, TV, web comics – who are either named as asexual (in one case), strongly implied … Continue reading »
A confession and an announcement
This post is for the January Carnival of Aces, whose theme this month is non-traditional relationship structures: experienced, or wishing for, or theorising about. I have a confession to make. When I found out about asexuality, it felt like I’d been freed. I wasn’t strange and broken anymore; I could finally stop stressing about why … Continue reading »

So I’m celebrating today, because … Continue reading »
An Open Letter (or: I am not sick and sexuality is not a choice)
Taking a page out of SwankIvy‘s book. My response to a lovely message I got the other day, from someone who decided that they knew more about me than I did, and that I obviously need help. Hi there, family friend. Well, it’s always nice to know that you’ve got me all figured out in … Continue reading »
More Ace Visibility
A while ago I was approached by another magazine to do a story on asexuality. I’ve decided that I want to take these sorts of opportunities to do visibility work about asexuality. Raising awareness by sharing your own intimate life story is a little challenging sometimes, because it really is your own experience that you … Continue reading »
