It really is a short guide, this comic. But that's a good thing for all those who are not really into reading. For us reading dragons is a one sitting read. It's still very informative for people questioning, and for friends and family. It helped me confirming that I truly am a-grey.

LiteraryinPA Congrats for figuring that out! I‘m in that same questioning place, so this sounds like a book I should read. 5mo

Jari-chan @LiteraryinLawrence Good luck on your own way! Hope you will find answers to your questions š™¸ 5mo

Kitta My ex tried to gaslight me into believing I was ace, but I don‘t think I am, I‘m just demisexual and have a lot of trauma. Her understanding of asexuality was way off and I feel like it‘s misunderstood by so many. I‘m doing more reading on it, and always looking for more books on the subject! 5mo

Jari-chan @Kitta That's terrible! I'm sorry your ex did that! And thank you for your openness and sharing this with us. Asexuality is widely misunderstood and barely represented. No wonder, in our highly sexual society... š�² 5mo

Kitta We divorced because I was working through the trauma at too slow a pace for her, there‘s a lot of reasons it was a bad relationship but but her telling me there was something wrong with me was the worst. Even if I was ace, there‘s nothing wrong with that! I‘ve been meaning to read this - have you read it yet?

Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Identity, and the Meaning of Sex

Jari-chan @Kitta It's good that you got out of this relationship. You need to heal in your own time, and if someone doesn't give you that, they don't appreciate you as a person. And really, there's nothing wrong with you, or with ace people. It's only wrong, that some people think it is. I haven't read the tagged book, thank you for the recommendation! 5mo

Kitta Thanks for the reminder, I‘m healing at my own pace! And I‘m doing much better now. I‘m much more myself after we split and happier! 5mo

Jari-chan @Kitta I'm so happy to hear that! Sending you strength and love for the road ahead of you. Be proud of yourself š’Ŗā¯¤ļø¸ 5mo

Very informative, straight to the point, and I appreciate that they wrote this book in comic form. It was helpful for my ADHD brain. ^_^

It delivers exactly what it says in the title: quick & easy- so it doesn‘t do any deep dives into some experiences of asexual people (tho I wish it talked more about how ace identities fit into the LGBTQIA+ community, and why some feel they don‘t). Good explanation of the basic definitions and includes more resources in the back.

One of my local finds while at Powell's in Portland. A very handy, quick guide to the ace spectrum. I am glad we are getting more attention and representation. I was awkward enough growing up that I don't think knowing the term "asexual" would have had a big impact on my social life, but I have plenty of memories of feeling different that this would have helped ease. I like that this book addressed the mixed feelings of being labeled "queer."

CampbellTaraL Stacked! I'm specifically interested in the weird feelings around the queer designation. Yes, logistically ace fits, but practically? Um, not so much in my experience. Btw, š’ Powell's 2y
