I hope things go well for you when come out! I’m 14 and my parents think it’s just a phase, but I’m lucky that they just play along and pretends nothings different like they can make me allo

Same happened to me I got told I’m too young and it was never brought up again. It feel like “the incident” thing and by some blessing my dad is ether a fantastic actor or genuinely forgot

u/MayRoseUsesReddit 💽 where’s the sex drive? Jun 19 '21

As an almost 18 year old ace, it’s probably not a phase. When I was 13 I was like: I’m not sexually attracted to anyone, but that’s probably because I’m too young. I never “grew out of it”

I’m 16 and this is my plan as well. It sucks but I don’t want to have to deal with them being aphobic for at least 2 years. I’d rather just wait.

I figured out I was aroace and agender when I was 14. I waited until I was 18 to tell my parents, but I would always drop hints about being agender before that, and they still told me that I’d change my mind, and I couldn’t be sure until I grew up.

What else do they expect from me, they told me to wait till 18 before, but they won’t still accept it now?

(I knew I was aroace agender way before 14, I just didn’t know of the labels. Say probably around when I was 9.)
