Even On Days When I Feel Cis I Don't Like She/her Pronouns And That Is Largely Due To Me Never Feeling

Thank you so much for this ❤️

“people who think aces are oppressed need to just go outside” A Measured Response

I’m going to preface this by saying this: People asking you to stop oppressing them doesn’t come from the privilege of being sheltered, it’s because we’re tired of you ignoring these scientific, peer-reviewed, repeatable facts:

42% of cis asexuals have considered suicide (2) compared to 11% of cis heterosexuals

10.2% of us are victims of conversion therapy

75% of the population cannot define asexuality

We have the least average life satisfaction score out of every cis identity (except pansexual, who shares our score of 5.9 out of 10)

Attitudes towards asexuality are evaluated most negatively of all sexual minority groups. 

A study of 148 undergraduates at a Canadian university showed that participants were less likely to rent to asexuals than their heterosexual counterparts. Potential confounds (e.g., bias against singles or unfamiliar groups) were ruled out as explanations

In early 2015, Russia passed a law banning, amongst others, people with “disorders of sexual preference” from obtaining driving licences. The Association of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights stated that it effectively banned “all transgender people, bigender, asexuals, “transvestites”, cross-dressers, and people who need sex reassignment” from driving  (I am not linking to the original article due to recurring transphobic language. If you would like to see it, PM me)

So sorry that sounding the alarm hurts your delicate sensibilities, but I honestly do not care anymore. If you’re an exclusionist, kindly pick up a few research papers about sexual minorities and learn something instead of posting your sub-zero “hot takes” on a website whose main demographics consist of people blogging about things they enjoy, rather than the people they hate. I am willing to have an open discussion about the inclusion of asexual people in the LGBT community as long as it doesn’t boil down to “I don’t know about the abuse you face, so I’m going to assume it doesn’t happen.”

Have a great day and stay safe.

me when trumeds blame The Trenders tm every time cis people do something bigoted

Roses are red,

New love is tender,

You don’t need dysphoria to be transgender

Gendervoid/Voidgender: A gender identity defined by absence, a blank space or void where a gender might otherwise be. Sometimes synonymous with agender.

When will y’all learn

teachers will get more mad at students saying ‘shut up’ than at students who are blatantly racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, and so forth.

Greetings cowards!! Welcome to another episode of "Is this just another hyperfixation or am i really into this thing?"

What someone says: I have romantic feelings for you

What I hear: I have decided, based on nothing that has to do with you, that you are going to solve all of my problems and make me happy forever, and when you inevitably can't do that I am going to be hurt and disappointed and maybe even mad at you

I agree with the labels not being contradictory towards whatever orientation you may be yet I have to add

heteromantics are queer and thus LGBTQ+.

You don't have to like the same gender to be queer you just don't follow amatonormativity and/or heteronormativity. Let me add, this is typically not by choice like how asexuals and aromantics don't have a choice in not feeling attraction.

They have a different experience than that of heterosexuals. You may not notice, as I am going to assume that you are an allosexual/romantic by your word choice, but this world is heavily sex and romance crazed.

I am an aroace demiboy and you won't believe how hard it is to live in a society like this. We do face oppression like you as well, I'm not going to argue which is worse homophobia or aphobia because oppression isn't a contest but we do have to face discrimination as well.

Not just corrective rape and conversion 'therapy', but some doctors even put ace patients off of meds if found to lower their libido. There is nothing wrong with feeling no sexual and/or romantic attraction yet we feel broken for years. When we hear the terms asexual or aromantic we realize there is nothing wrong with us afterall.

You have to remember that this community was made to protect everyone thrown out by the amato/heteronormative society. Asexuals and aromantics experience oppression and need support just like everyone else in the LGBT+ community. Instead of infighting and saying who gets to be allowed in or not lets actually fight discrimination.

Asexuals and Aromantics are an important part of the community.

Is this person trying to say that being ace or aro makes you less of your sexual orientation…? This is just,,, so silly. A gay ace or a gay aro isn’t “basically” gay, they are gay.

Being gay doesn’t make you any less ace and being ace doesn’t make you any less gay. They aren’t contradictory! Same goes for every other sexual orientation and with being aro
