Winter Holly Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Beep! My flatmates and I are looking for another person or two with whom to share housing costs, and I'd like some advice on mistakes to avoid since I'm some kind of A-spec. I'm asking because I know that saying "candidate must be trans-friendly" would attract chasers in the process of repelling transphobes, and suspect that there might be a similar concern for A-spec folk which I'm not so educated about. I am particularly worried about the bizarre phenomenon of "corrective" rape, but there's a whole rainbow of toxic beliefs out there, and I have found that I'm particularly emotionally vulnerable to that kind of stress.

WinterWanderer Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'd look for someone who seems open-minded. Maybe someone who is accepting of LGBT things in general. They will probably also be open-minded about asexuality by default, once you explain to them what it is (if they don't already know about it). I've found that my best roommates have been open-minded people. I have told one of my roommates before about my ace-ness, and she didn't mind it at all. (We'd also been friends for a while, so she knew me really well.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
