Anonymous inquired: Hi. I'm a pre-op trans guy, who started identifying as ace a while ago and recently I've started wondering if I'm only identifying as ace because I don't want to sleep with anyone now, but I might after I transition. Does that make me less ace, or is that an alright thing for trans people to feel? I don't want to feel like after I transition that I was just faking it and making the best of it while it lasted.
Doesn’t make you less ace! If you transition and you feel differently. That’s okay, it doesn’t make you fake. Medically transitioning is a lot of work and thought and if you no longer feel ace, that’s fine I’m happy to have you here while we did and hope you feel happy with whatever is next. And it might not change either! Trust your now, that’s good enough for me and I hope you let it be good enough for you!
Ace trainers, of course! Each month you’ll enter a league and be assigned a random name and address. The league entry free is three cards of any rarity, a stamp, and and envelope. The prize? A trio of random cards in the mail each month from your pen pal.
When does the league take place?
Mail needs to be sent by the 30th of every month. The RSVP is the 14th!
Who can join?
You have to consider yourself asexual. That means ace, demi, gray, and so on are all great!
Can I send out my powerful Pokémon?
You can send whatever Pokémon cards you wish. However, don’t except something very valuable in return. This is lighthearted fun and meant to be as accessible as possible.
What if I don’t have Pokémon cards but want to become an Ace Trainer?
Standard booster packs contain 10 cards for about $3-5 dollars and are easily found in multiple stores. There are also Dollar Tree/Dollar General packs that have 3 cards inside for a dollar. Throw that into an envelope and wait for your own random Pokémon line up!
⚠️ Attention Trainers ⚠️
Some changes are afoot!
- International trainers are welcome!
- The league is using elfter to pair up people this round to streamline the process.
- When you sign up make sure to add a wishlist and in the “optional note” section add your preferred card type.
- Post in and check out the “ace tag” tag for updates and mail opening photos.
Anonymous inquired: A thought I had recently about “misidentifying” yourself. While it is a thing to misunderstand your feelings, I also think people actually really do go through phases of sexuality, but they’re all equally valid. One phase of your life, you like boys and girls, but you changed and started to like girls more. One point in life you didn’t like sex, but now you’re more open to it. I think it’s valid to have different preferences throughout life, and you weren’t really wrong. You just changed
Agreed! And everyone might not have phases but it’s no more right or wrong than people who do. Doesn’t mean you were wrong, just means this is now and that’s equally okay
Anonymous inquired: hi! all sign point to me asexual, and that doesn't bother me. what confuses me is idk if im aro or not. im pretty sure it's my own self hatred keeping me from feeling romantic attraction, but is that even a thing? i know id like to date a girl, but I've never felt the specific desire and a lot of my thoughts come down to severe insecurity. anyway, im working on self image, but i just wanted to know if its a thing for stuff like that to block romantic attraction? sorry for the mess, ily all xoxo
Anonymous inquired: What is a chronically ill ace?
Chronic illness is when people either get sick often, (ie: chronic) or someone with a disability that makes them basically always sick
I like to think of myself as a chronically ch(ill) ace. Which (to me) means because of chronic illness I had to learn to be chill in order for my health ✌️
four days left to sign up!
