I did it! It was an honour to be the first asexual person to lead @PrideInLondon! Asexual representation matters. Our recognition matters. Our protection matters. Our voices matter. We matter. Thank you all for your support throughout the day! 💜 #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike
The way this was one of my most-played songs on Spotify last year. Can't wait to see them perform next week! 🤘🏾
1 year ago today, GOJIRA won the Olympics!
ACES FOR TRANS+ RIGHTS! It was amazing to attend #LondonTransPride for the first time! In this climate, it's more important than ever to stand up & show up for trans people, especially given the overlap between the trans & asexual community! 💜 #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike
Heavy metal wouldn't be what it is today without Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, and I wouldn't be who I am today without heavy metal. This is a dark day for metalheads and music lovers everywhere. 💔
It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and…
"People think if you're asexual you shouldn't wear nice clothes, wear make-up or do your hair. And I'm like, what am I supposed to wear, a potato sack, or something?" As number #10 on the @Independent Pride List this year, my new interview is out now! independent.co.uk/lgbt/yasmin-be…
My academic era continues! It was a joy to attend my first Policy Institute Summer Reception at @KingsCollegeLon as a Visiting Fellow! We're about to start our second piece of research into asexuality. Can't wait to see how it turns out! 💜🖤 #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike
PUT ASEXUALS IN THE EQUALITY ACT! Our rights & protections matter! We deserve to be protected by hate crime laws, from conversion therapy, acephobia, and to be demedicalised. Queer equality can't be achieved without asexual equality. 💜 #PrideInLondon #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike
ASEXUALS BELONG AT PRIDE! I'm proud to have joined @stonewalluk again this year in the @PrideInLondon march & I'm proud of our work together in the fight for asexual rights. If there isn't equality for all, there isn't equality at all. 💜🖤 #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike
I'm so excited for @PrideInLondon tomorrow! Look out for me in the parade, where I'll be marching with @stonewalluk! You might even see me make an appearance on the main stage! 💜🖤
It was a joy to present @theyasminbenoit with the Outstanding Contribution to Communities Award at the #BritishLGBTAwards 🏳️🌈 As the first asexual campaigner to win a British LGBT Award, she’s a true trailblazer. Proud to celebrate love, solidarity & progress during #PrideMonth
It's an honour to be featured on The Guardian's #PridePowerList25 for my asexual activism! 💜
Your first asexual British LGBT Award winner! 💜🤍🖤 #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike
It's an honour to be the first asexual activist to win a British LGBT Award for my Outstanding Contribution to Communities! The asexual community is such an unrecognised, unprotected group. That needs to change. Our rights matter, we matter, our activism matters & is needed. 💜
I WON A BRITISH LGBT AWARD! It's an honour to make history as the first asexual activist to win one, and it's for "Outstanding Contributions to Communities"! Thank you @BritLGBTAwards for recognising not just my work but also the need for asexual activism! This is a dream! 😭
Day 2 at #WorldPride in Washington DC! It was an honour to give not one but three talks at the Human Rights Conference about asexual activism, asexual discrimination & our place in the queer community. Thanks for the amazing turnout! 💜 #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike
