However as an #aro I didn’t like the heavy #amatonormativity since it’s ok to be single and you can be happy (like me!) #aromantic - you don’t have to defined or sad for not being in a relationship

Interesting that what causes Scrooge to break down in the visit to his past is not the breaking of his engagement but the reminder of Marley's death. I'm counting that as a blow against #amatonormativity

As a side note to my last toot…
Did other #trans people whose egg broke later in life spent years having “not exactly a crush, I just want to spend all my time with you” on people of their actual gender and orientation?
(I wonder if the gender and orientation in question are a factor too, given #amatonormativity and #genderstereotypes.)

#introduction Heyyy everybody the name’s Esker and I’m your friendly neighborhood transsexual cripqueer. I had a mastodon for a bit back in 2020, and I figured I’d give it another try while indulging my morbid (tumblr user) desire to see how tw*tter users acclimate to a self-curated environment. I’d also love to find fellow #disabled people and others who still take the pandemic seriously

I try my best to maintain an accessible environment and I’ll probably toot about these things:

(just in case for screenreader users: there’s more text in a paragraph beneath the tags) #blaseball #StarTrek #disability #ChronicPain #Chronicallylll #ChronicIllness #LongCovid #hEDS #AuDHD #ADHD #dyscalculia #ChronicFatigue #Dysautonomia #POTS #ableism #neuroscience #plants #biodiversity #gardening #SolarPunk #CripplePunk #amatonormativity #lichen #lichenology #mycology

I’ve also currently got a love for Jane Austen and various other pieces of media. I adore ceramics and fiber arts, especially embroidery/cross stitching. Anything related to the brain is my jam; I’m hoping to establish a career in neuroscience eventually

Elizabeth Brake giving the keynote address at our conference right now! #philodons #philosophy #nonmonogamy #polyamory #conference #philosodons #amatonormativity

I think this isn't just an #aromantic feeling, but like, why do we celebrate people who have been together romantically for a long time? Like why did the news station feel it needed to cover a story about two old people who've been married since they were teenagers? Like that was the story? Like we gonna celebrate when a parent and child have been together for 70 years? Two best friends? I'm telling you #amatonormativity is so deeply embedded in our culture

My review of the #doctorwho novelization of Twice Upon A Time, discussing #amatonormativity, dehumanization of #aro people.
