    ASAW Panel Talk: Amatonormativity

    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!
