Site Update
Today marks the start of Asexual Awareness Week. To recognize the week, we've decided to add a section to the sidebar with little icons linking to informational places for each event. AVEN is a good community and forum for asexual folks, and Ace Awareness Week, of course, has its own website.
Intersex Awareness Day is also today! ISNA is a good reference, and Bodies Like Ours is a support network and forum for intersex folks.
We can't always organize an event around important awareness dates, but we can provide some information for them on the sidebar when we have the chance to. If you'd like to see an icon show up on the sidebar, come check out this thread and fill out the form on the first post to make an awareness day suggestion. Be sure to include an item suggestion, as the item images link to informational websites!

I appreciate Aywa's dedication to bringing awareness to different issues but I would also appreciate the option to disable the awareness links if we would like. I do not like excess things being tacked to site without the option to escape them in some way, just as we are allowed to disable comments, block signatures, etc. I am aware, I am informed, please give me the option to remove them.

I am still looking for the option to remove them and not just with adblock.

I don't see what the problem with the little flags/links is? It's harmless, small, and out of the way. x: I personally really appreciate the acknowledgement and education. It's important for people to not shut it out.

I noticed the awareness flags earlier and was glad to see they linked to informative sites. Thank you!
