“exclusionists will leave you alone as long as you stay out of LGBT spaces”

Reblogging this again because I’m still thinking about it.

This is a perfect example of how much of a lie it is that exclusionists support ace and aro people as long as we “don’t try to infiltrate the LGBT community.” There is nothing in the original post about aspec discourse, inclusionists or exclusionists, or aspec issues at all. There just so happen to be a couple of pride pins visible in a post about the stickers I put on my desk.

And yet.

And yet someone felt the need to go out of their way to make a comment about how the aro and ace pins, tearing them down. 

Ace and aro “discourse” isn’t some “friendly debate,” it’s a bunch of bigoted bullies harassing people over their orientation. 

It’s time to stop calling it discourse and recognize it as what it is.
