While we’re on the topic, I think it’s important for people to know that TERFs on this website are covering themselves in a new coat of paint to slide under your radar.
People aren’t reblogging from an OP who has “radfem” or “TERF” in their bio anymore, but have no problem reblogging from an OP who has “aphobe” or “exclusionist” in their bio. These people are often (though not always) TERFs, transmisogynistic, transphobic, exclusionary of nonbinaries, or just plain unsupportive of trans/NBs in general.
“Exclusionary” is literally the E in the TERF acronym. The entire aphobic movement is a page taken straight out of the TERF handbook. And I’m sick of seeing history repeat itself because no one takes these antagonistic movements seriously until they do serious harm on a wide scale.
(Do you think people really took TERFs seriously in the beginning? People didn’t do shit about it until enough trans women got it through everyone’s thick heads.)
I could go on-and-on about how excluding an entire section of the LGBTQIA+ has literally never been a good thing, and how exclusionary movements famously erase queer history, and how the community will literally fall apart if we start chopping people off. (That’s WHY communities are strong. We’re strongest TOGETHER.)
Don’t fucking tolerate any exclusionary rhetoric of ANY kind. And that means taking “Aces are fine, as long as they’re not cishet :/” as seriously as “Bi people are fine, as long as they’re not in het relationships :/” and “Trans women are fine, I just don’t think they’re real women :/”
Check your sources. Don’t spread posts with aphobic comments or which make fun of aro/ace people. If it seems fishy, just scroll by. It literally costs nothing.
Start boosting aro/ace voices. Listen to the concerns of aro/aces. Include us in queer commentary and discussions. Don’t just say we belong; act like it.
