“Marriage Bootcamp” - Project 2025’s Proposal Masking As Conversion Therapy Against LGBTQIA+ YouTube video by Fluently Aspec

I am filled to the brim with rage.
(and also heartbroken, knowing people who were once affirming, who would now just think this was a good idea).

Appreciate @fluentlyaspec.bsky.social for walking us through this with a voice of reason (and righteous anger).

Aspec Masculinity... with Patrick Bex One on One, we discuss being aspec in male-presenting bodies and how masculinity intersects with the experience of being aspec.

“I’ve always rejected the idea that virginity equates to immaturity and the concept of ‘becoming a man’ with sex as the gate. I’ve known plenty of people…who frankly disprove that theory…To be a man is to look out for others…you never stop learning, even if you’ve spent a lifetime teaching.”

THIS!

This bill is queerphobic, ableist, misogynistic, and just plain disgusting.

Learn about it in my new video and spread the word!

Queer Teacher reacts to “Life Path” Curriculum Bill in Tennessee State Senate YouTube video by Fluently Aspec

New video!

Yesterday I learned of a horrific bill that passed in the Tennessee state Senate forcing public schools to teach “success sequence” in life is high school, then college or career, then marriage, then children — in that order.

Watch it here:

As an asexual myself, I have heard so many times people claiming they can "cure" me of being asexual. I've had people say "You just need to get laid right", "You just haven't had good sex", & "You've never been with me.

And I've known many other aces who've heard the same.

I need to hear from some lithromantic folks if possible for something I’m working on. I want to ensure that what I’m working on is authentic and doesn’t misrepresent your experiences.

Please DM me if you can help!

Also if folks could repost this to get it out there, I would really appreciate it!

Thank you! It’s self-published, but I did have an artist I hired for the cover art and an editor I also hired, both on Fiverr. They were both incredible and really understood my vision! Both are credited in the copyright page.

You can simply use my pen-name Patrick Bex, and that seems to make it come up pretty quickly.

This is a very exciting step for me. I'm a strong believer in the importance of supporting our indie bookstores, so knowing that my book can now help to do that is massive news!

To find an independent bookstore near you that uses this program, go to https:// www.bookmanager.com/tbm/?q=h....

From there, you can go to the bookstore's website and search to see if my book has been added yet. The book cover may not show up, but I’ve emailed them with a copy so it should soon.
