Why I’m Founding Disabled Ace Day Courtney Lane

Happy #DisabledAceDay! This day is celebrated on the Wednesday of each #AceWeek, founded by Courtney Lane.

Here is an article she wrote which tells you more about why she founded the day: aceweek.org/stories/why-....

#AceWeek continues! It's #DisabledAceDay! And @theacecouple.bsky.social is joining stream tonight!!

So seeing as they are apparently THE Asexual Dungeon Masters, who have coincidentally also enjoyed Coffee Talk, it's only right we play @taverntalkgame.bsky.social, right?

As we're still on #aceweek

Today is #disabledaceday day!

I am Disabled & Asexual so even with the daily struggles of my disabilities, it doesn't stop me from learning more about my Ace Self.

Even if you ARE Disabled, Your Ace journey is completely valid.

Noone can take that away from you.

Yes, You Can Be Disabled and Asexual "I’m not sick because I’m asexual, and I’m not asexual because I’m sick."

“The sex-positive movement is great and necessary, but it fails to include actual asexual disabled people… disability does not equal asexuality... that doesn’t mean they’re mutually exclusive. A person can be sick and independently #asexual.” #DisabledAceDay

I am Tired of Doubting my Demisexuality “Ah, hobbies. Well, I just finished grad school…”

here’s a thing I wrote that’s in part about being a disabled ace. because it’s Disabled Ace Day. in ace week. yeeah #AceWeek #DisabledAceDay #DisabilitySky #AceSky #LGBTQIA #queer #blog

Happy #DisabledAceDay !!

I’m an asexual biromantic writer who writes lots of queer and cozy romance!!

I’ve struggled with mental illness and things like fibromyalgia for years but I just take it one day at a time.

Existing and Defying Stereotypes as an A-spec Disabled Person — AZE It’s something that is often assumed, and not often discussed: the stereotype that people with disabilities do not have sex or have conventional relationships.

Today is #DisabledAceDay - days like today are an important reminder of the importance of intersectionality. Statements such as “Aces aren’t broken or disabled” can be extremely harmful to Disabled Aces, because it erases their experience, however well intentioned it may be.

Thank you to Courtney @theacecouple.bsky.social for creating a day for talking about the intersection between #asexuality and #disability and being a disabled ace and ableism in ace spaces. #AceWeek must include disabled aces to include all ace experiences. #DisabledAceDay

It's #DisabledAceDay today! This day was founded by Courtney Lane, who is from the @theacecouple.bsky.social, to raise the visibility of disabled aces and the discrimination they face.
Courtney has done amazing work for the ace community and I'm so proud of her 💜

Apparently it's #DisabledAceDay

So *waves* hello! I am disabled , and asexual.

We exist.

We are real.

Being asexual is not a mental disorder.

It's #DisabledAceDay! ♿️ 🤍🖤💜

I dont often discuss my disabilities, but thats something I want to change! I have multiple cognitive disabilities, but didn't accept them as so until recently. I spent my childhood masking and learning how to blend in, but no more!

I'm here, queer, ace and disabled!

Hey, today is #DisabledAceDay for #asexualawareness week and as usual, the dead bird site is marking my ko-fi as sensitive content. The vast majority of my work is available at no charge but I'm housebound and like video games, I can use all the help I can get:

Today is #DisabledAceDay. Hi, it me, am both disabled and ace.

Getting awareness up about both can be a challenge; asexuals largely get ignored because they're "not a problem" while disabled folks needing accommodations is "a problem." The overlap is very weird.
