International Asexuality Day 2026 Discussion with Ritash and Maya

In this episode, Tyeewhyee (https://www.twitch.tv/tyeewhyee/) speaks with Ritash (https://www.instagram.com/ritashachanta/), aspec writer and co-founder of the RANG Foundation (https://www.instagram.com/rang.org2020/), and Maya (https://www.instagram.com/maya_intersex/), intersex ace activist, and co-founder of Intersex Human Rights India (https://www.instagram.com/intersexhumanrightsindia/) about IAD, Ace activism in India, and why it is so incredibly important to consider intersectional Ace experiences in the Ace discourse. Translation of Maya's poem (thank you to Ritash!): You’re different. Love has many faces. It can be silent & visual. Diversity is unique & distinct & colourful It’s different but human. Why do you define yourself through someone else’s lens? You’re complete in yourself.

NOTE: Apologies for the audio issues at times! I've done my best to equalize the audio but there are a couple of moments where it wasn't possible! For Arospec Awareness Week, Tyeewhyee (https://www.twitch.tv/) is joined by Justin, Heidi from AUREA, and Willow from the Ace and Aro Research Network in a discussion about amatonormativity! We talk about the history of the term, and some common ways it shows up in society! The impacts of amatonormativity on mental health are also discussed, along with ways that we can decentre romance, and make room for the lived experiences of loveless aros and aplatonic folks!
