I've Seen So Much Exclusionist Bullshit Today And I Need To Get This Out There.

i've seen so much exclusionist bullshit today and i need to get this out there.

aro/ace people are part of the lgbt+ community, end of story.

like, you guys focus on the letters so damn much, but it wasn't that long ago that there was no b or t. aro/ace ppl, even if they're not both, even if they're in a straight passing relationship, are still lgbt in the way that a bi person in a straight passing relationship is still lgbt. they are a sexual/romantic minority. just because they aren't as visibly oppressed doesn't mean they don't face any sort of sexuality based oppression. invisibility to the general public is NOT a form of privilege. aro/ace people belong in the lgbt community. they have sexual and romantic experiences that are considered non-standard, it's not a choice, and they face discrimination and even assault for their identity. i don't know why they wouldn't be considered part of the community other than to exclude those who genuinely NEED inclusion bc of how fucking chaotic the community has become bc of xenogenders and trenders.

i hope every aspec person who sees this today feels appreciated cause you guys fucking deserve it.
