    My sister in law was complaining about friend of her son that is ace, saying that nobody was ace until now. And I had to remind her that priests and nuns have existed for hundreds of years, in the past she would be forced to an unhappy marriage or to become a nun.

      “Nobody was X until now!1!” and every single person who has studied history at all laughs.

      I wanna say “Nobody was white until [I need to research when]”, I’m sure that would go over well 😂. IIRC “whiteness” and “race” in general are only a few hundred years old.

      Priests and nuns arent ace… well i mean im sure some were, but dont lump them all in. Asexuality != celibacy.
