TRANS RIGHTS R HUMAN RIGHTS (C.B)(10.24.18)

Thank you so much for this ❤️

“people who think aces are oppressed need to just go outside” A Measured Response

I’m going to preface this by saying this: People asking you to stop oppressing them doesn’t come from the privilege of being sheltered, it’s because we’re tired of you ignoring these scientific, peer-reviewed, repeatable facts:

42% of cis asexuals have considered suicide (2) compared to 11% of cis heterosexuals

10.2% of us are victims of conversion therapy

75% of the population cannot define asexuality

We have the least average life satisfaction score out of every cis identity (except pansexual, who shares our score of 5.9 out of 10)

Attitudes towards asexuality are evaluated most negatively of all sexual minority groups. 

A study of 148 undergraduates at a Canadian university showed that participants were less likely to rent to asexuals than their heterosexual counterparts. Potential confounds (e.g., bias against singles or unfamiliar groups) were ruled out as explanations

In early 2015, Russia passed a law banning, amongst others, people with “disorders of sexual preference” from obtaining driving licences. The Association of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights stated that it effectively banned “all transgender people, bigender, asexuals, “transvestites”, cross-dressers, and people who need sex reassignment” from driving  (I am not linking to the original article due to recurring transphobic language. If you would like to see it, PM me)

So sorry that sounding the alarm hurts your delicate sensibilities, but I honestly do not care anymore. If you’re an exclusionist, kindly pick up a few research papers about sexual minorities and learn something instead of posting your sub-zero “hot takes” on a website whose main demographics consist of people blogging about things they enjoy, rather than the people they hate. I am willing to have an open discussion about the inclusion of asexual people in the LGBT community as long as it doesn’t boil down to “I don’t know about the abuse you face, so I’m going to assume it doesn’t happen.”

Have a great day and stay safe.

What ur preferred pronouns say about u

She/her - you’re valid

He/him - you’re valid

They/them - you’re valid

Neopronouns - you’re valid

Why are we trying to please our oppressors anyways?

Lemme tell you, if they find it weird someone is using neopronouns/going by a MOGAI gender and 'out of the blue' say they don't support trans rights anymore:

They were already transphobic they just wanted to find a reason to hate the community.

Hot take: There’s no such thing as “transtrenders”. They’re just young people, often teenagers, who are just trying to figure out their gender identity and become comfortable in themselves. Bullying them does no-one a favor. Fellow trans people are not what’s holding you back from becoming “acceptable” in a cis-dominant society, transphobes are.

*agreeance*

Reblog to make it happen

Married straight couples are the only heterophobes I know.

"My wife is gonna kill me if I do that!"

"Gotta go home to the ol' ball and chain."

Gen Z: Did you know that atoms can't touch each other? And since we're all made of atoms, we've never actually touched anything in our entire lives.

Gen X: ...

Gen Z: So to answer your question, no I didn't punch that cop.

Living for all this tea! Anyway; exclusionist culture is gaslighting and threatening aces/aros (and to a lesser extent, their allies) in order to "prove" that aces and aros are the Bad Guys for fighting back.

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.

y'all go follow my friend junie! she's amazing and yes, i think it is largely due to the overwhelming things that happened last year that kinda brought down our expectations and excitement for a new year.

2021...I have no reason but I’m really sad about it..
