Acephobia fucking exists part 3

I find it interesting how a lot of these comments in this part are literally advocating for conversion therapy of asexuals, see us as people that can be ‘fixed’ with the right amount of ‘therapy’ and the ‘correct psychologist’.
Straight people don’t think we’re straight, or normal. Honestly a lot of them hate us.

This is something I talked about earlier, how there are plenty of types of aphobia, and this type is the one we tend to face on a regular basis. Literal sexual harassment and conversion therapy.

But sure, aphobia isn’t real alright.

Jesus this is scary

It’s funny that they want to paint us as an ‘abnormal’ tiny little minority. Asexuals are estimated to make up 1% of the worlds population. To put that into perspective the entire population of Australia is estimated at 0.33% of the worlds population. So the amount of people you’re discarding is the same as the entire population of Australia three times over. But sure we’re tiny, abnormal and irrelevant. 

so, everyone who wants to throw aro and ace people out of the LGBTQIA community: please take a moment to notice how the intolerance here doesn’t just look the same as intolerance against other marginalized sexualities and gender identities, it doesn’t just use the same words and tone and tactics, it’s explicitly linked by several of these people. they’re saying they think asexual people are “sick” in the same way trans people are. maybe think about that before you go on another “you’re not oppressed like we are and don’t belong here” tirade.

The Aphobia Masterpost

livebloggingmydescentintomadness: I started writing this as a comment on another post, but it got too long so fuck it, this is going to be its own post, and it’s going to be a collection of basically everything I can get my hands on about asexual oppression, history, and the shit aphobes say. Yeah, this is…

It’s All A Fucking Joke, Right

thepageofhopes: thessalian: satansbra: millenniumfae: In the few months I’ve been modding at fuckyeahasexual and touring ace Tumblr, there’s been a very. Steady.

bi/ace rambles

fredericksergievsky: twoplasticheartsnowheretorun: so i see a lot of talk about how ace identities are inherently homophobic and harmful to young lgbpq kids? which like. is pretty obviously untrue, except apparently that’s not obvious to a lot of people? and what i think it boils down to is: stop blaming aces for Straight societal problems? I…

acephobia-is-real: queeraro: lgbt-cishet: starmashine: acephobia-is-real: oozefriend: aromantic and asexual people are not systematically oppressed for being aromantic and asexual. there are some visibility issues regarding aromantic and asexual people, but that does not equal systematic oppression. no one is going to kick you out of your home for being aro/ace. no one is going to…

grey-is-my-favourite-colour: Anon submitted: *genitals mention tw, rape mention tw, sex mention tw* I am an Asian cis-WOC who has a lot of frustration with the asexual community. I’ve written about this elsewhere, but I really need white people – asexual and allosexual – to stop saying that “POC sexual attraction/behavior isn’t privileged" as a way…

nadadoll: prokopetz: prokopetz: I’m not ace myself, so I’m coming at the whole acephobia thing from an outsider’s perspective, and as such, it’s not my place to speak to the experience of those on the receiving end of it. However, as a bisexual dude, I can observe that many of the arguments that are employed…

excessively-english-little-b: I just… wanna remind people that asexuality was classed as a mental disorder by the DSM all the way up until 2013…. Because I feel like people don’t know this or like to ignore it because it doesn’t fit into their “asexual people don’t face discrimination” rhetoric. Asexuality was only removed from the DSM in…

autismserenity: oodlenoodleroodle: autismserenity: fornaxed: Good lord I’m not saying “you personally have to be violently harmed by cishets to be queer” I’m saying that the term is exclusively reserved for the communities who’ve historically experienced oppression centered around that slur and experienced the violence that it embodies (ie LGBT people) You’re spouting some nonsense interpretation…
