If you think “cishet invaders pretending to be LGBT” is a real problem that justifies discouraging people from reaching out to their local LGBTQ+ communities, we can’t be friends.

Just in case any of you were wondering what an m-spec lesbian was

what’s an mspec lesbian

I'm glad you asked,dear anon. An m-spec lesbian is any sapphic that identifies with both an m-spec label and the lesbian label. (M-spec means multispectrum,so any orientation attracted to more than one gender.) So they may be romantically attracted to multiple genders,but sexually attracted to women and feminine genders. Or they are attracted to all genders excluding men. They could be reclaiming the label lesbian, as it used mean any woman who had relationships with women,no matter the sexuality. This ended in the lesbian separatist movement of th 1970's. Finally, you have those that use it to show they prioritize their attraction to women, for whatever reason.

Neopronouns are not a “tumblr fad”. Gender neutral pronouns other than they/them have existed in the English language for actual centuries. They are not harmful to the trans community.

To those who are against neopronouns, you’re acting against the evolution of a language and acting against something that’s been around for far longer than you’ve been alive.

To those who use neopronouns, your pronouns are not harmful. You do not deserve to be made to feel ashamed for your pronouns.

[ tw for this post, it mentions sex/sex-repulsion a few times (just the word, nothing else) and i get heated/angry talking about it. this isn’t directed at anyone, i’m just pissed off about acephobia. ]

I think a lot of people get hung up on some ace people not liking sex or thinking it’s gross/repulsive on a personal level. Even in 2020. And I’m getting sick of it.

Even other aspec people I’ve spoken to have legitimately gotten pissed off at ace people who are averse to it. I feel like a lot of y’all only accept ace people if it’s the ones who are just as okay with sex/sexual topics/etc. as you are, and I can and WILL call you out on it when it happens. Sex-averse ace people deserve just as much goddamn respect as any other ace person.

There is a BIG difference between being sex negative and sex averse/repulsed. I’m personally very sex-averse, but you don’t see me stopping anyone else? Ace people do not walk around and claim that sex is objectively bad, and if you genuinely think we do this shit on a massive scale then you might want to try actually talking to an ace person and not exclusionists a few times in your life.

If us asking for you to, I dunno, talk about it somewhere else where it won’t make us uncomfortable, spoiler it, or maybe just tone it down a little bit, feels like being “sex negative” to you, then I genuinely worry how you treat other people and topics that make them uncomfortable. Y’all respect people’s discomfort and squicks until that person is ace and it shows.

Oh and if you try and tell me this isn’t an issue, that nobody is actually doing this, I will personally put crabs in your pillows. This shit is so constant I have the (dis)pleasure of seeing it in spaces I am apparently supposed to be welcomed in. My discomfort is not respected even in spaces that I’ve made myself. I’m laughed at and not taken seriously and viewed as childish/naive for not liking or understanding extremely sexual conversations/jokes even in my own friend-groups, and even around other aspec people, and even after I ask people to stop multiple times. Do not tell me what I, a sex-repulsed ace person, “actually” experience.

We’re allowed to joke about it being weird and not something we like. We Are Allowed To Not Like Sex, Guys.

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

Teachers who dock your grade based on participation are ableist and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to realize it’s not my problem if a teacher makes a class inaccessible to me.

what a great day to remember pansexuality is a real and valid sexuality
