shoutout to all the aces and aros out there who have to hear stupid shit today like “oh one day you’ll find a SO” or “man it must suck to be alone on valentines day” The only thing that sucks is people assuming we’re miserable.
Shoutout to all asexual and aromantic people who have to suffer through next month
LMAO literally this shit abt “heterosensual” and “heteroaesthetic” or whatever is somethin the LGBTA+ community has perpetuated itself
youve prescribed this HORRIBLE STIGMA to being specifically attracted - sexually or romantically - to the opposite gender, which has pushed the asexuals and aromantics out of spaces that THEY SHOULD FEEL SAFE IN
there is a fucking reason there is an A in the acronym and it isn’t for allies - months ago, we were still fighting for that simple truth. today? we’re forcing asexuals and aromantics out of safe spaces because they have “straight privilege”
the reason these new terms have been invented is because we’re excluding people who should inherently be in these spaces because they’re in the FUCKING ACRONYM, and they feel they have to distance themselves from the “STRAIGHTS” because we’ve put such a goddamn negative stigma to that
asexuals and aromantics do not experience the same sort of oppression as gay people, bi people, pan people, and so on. but, here’s something to think about too:
bi people and gay people do not experience the same form of oppression
bi people and trans people do not experience the same form of oppression.
just because ace and aro people don’t experience the GAY OPPRESSION, they experience an oppression unique to them - and you can’t even say that the oppression an asexual person experiences is the same to an aromantic persons.
they are dehumanized, they are attacked, they are OPPRESSED.
and it is fucking disgusting that we have contributed to this oppression when we’re all supposed to be on the same side.
The LGBTA community in general is toxic to anyone who isn’t lesbian, gay or a trans in a opposite gender relationship.
the LGBT community only cares about the L and the G but only if they are hetero because according to them, a trans person in a same sex relationship has “straight privilages” because people within the community tend to look at their relationships before their gender. Seriously, if you exclude anything other than the L and the G then fuck you because you’re just as toxic as the all the other shitty people.
I don’t hate gay people. I never said I do. I hate are people excluding the other members of the LGBTA community. The people who claim that bi people need to choose or that ace people don’t exist. I hate bigots.
the “ace experience” is different than the “gay/bi experience” there arent bible bumpers that wish you were dead
No, there’s just the constant belittling because we don’t care for sex as well as the lack of representation in media. Even lesbians and gay people have a little bit of representation but if there’s an asexual, the fandom tends to erase their ace identity. Oh, and corrective rape is something that exists. Asexuals have a high chance of being a victim of sexual violence. Unfortunately we don’t have a place where we can feel welcome because the community that’s supposed to welcome us in tend to forget we even exist or claim that just by existing we are somehow oppressing them.
Person: aces don't belong in the lgBt community, they're not oppressed
Ace: actually here's some evidence that says otherwise
Person: lol nop just gonna ignore that
what sex drive is
having the urge to satisfy sexual desires IS NOT the same as having the urge to satisfy sexual desires with other creatures
The difference is that the second definition does not allow for someone to achieve their sexual satisfaction alone. The second definition is not proper because people can satisfy their sexual urges on their own without the help of another person or creature.
asexuals with a sex drive are not any less asexual than those without
asexuals with a sex drive are not any less asexual than those without
asexuals with a sex drive are not any less asexual than those without
ASEXUALS WITH A SEX DRIVE ARE NOT ANY LESS ASEXUAL THAN THOSE WITHOUT

Yeah, DEFINITELY not written by anyone from the spectrum AT ALL. That’s just an insulting and very generalizing way of describing it.
Aro ace here. I love snuggling and cuttling. I love being close to my friends. I just don'e care for sex with them or feel romantic feelings for them. I like physical contact with my friends and it’s entirely platonic. I can agree that this is bullshit that was most certainly not written by an ace or aro person.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
