Teachers Who Dock Your Grade Based On Participation Are Ableist And I Can’t Believe It’s Taken Me

School systems single out neurodivergent students.

jdhdhdigdye 💀😭👏

“you changed” yes i realised gender is a hoax

Don't exclude ANY a-spec/aro-spec identity otherwise I'll eat you. [Heteromantics are queer as well and you can fight me exclusionists.)

don’t make me tap the sign…

Greetings cowards!! Welcome to another episode of "Is this just another hyperfixation or am i really into this thing?"

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.

PSA: Platonic breakups can hurt just as much as romantic ones, its okay to need time to heal and move on

If you think “cishet invaders pretending to be LGBT” is a real problem that justifies discouraging people from reaching out to their local LGBTQ+ communities, we can’t be friends.

Genderfluid people? Amazing Genderflux people? Incredible Demifluid people? Lovely Demiflux people? Gorgeous Girlflux people? Stunning Boyflux people? Beautiful Genderfae people? Astounding Genderflor people? Precious Genderfaun people? Great Fluidflux people? Irreplaceable All people with a fluid gender identity? Fucking effervencent babeyy

I find it amusing whenever you tell someone you had a stressful day a popular phrase to respond with is 'tomorrow is another day.'

Well yeah, but today is also a day so in that moment I hate days. Jee thanks, I can't wait to relive the same harrowing experience over again!

[ tw for this post, it mentions sex/sex-repulsion a few times (just the word, nothing else) and i get heated/angry talking about it. this isn’t directed at anyone, i’m just pissed off about acephobia. ]

I think a lot of people get hung up on some ace people not liking sex or thinking it’s gross/repulsive on a personal level. Even in 2020. And I’m getting sick of it.

Even other aspec people I’ve spoken to have legitimately gotten pissed off at ace people who are averse to it. I feel like a lot of y’all only accept ace people if it’s the ones who are just as okay with sex/sexual topics/etc. as you are, and I can and WILL call you out on it when it happens. Sex-averse ace people deserve just as much goddamn respect as any other ace person.

There is a BIG difference between being sex negative and sex averse/repulsed. I’m personally very sex-averse, but you don’t see me stopping anyone else? Ace people do not walk around and claim that sex is objectively bad, and if you genuinely think we do this shit on a massive scale then you might want to try actually talking to an ace person and not exclusionists a few times in your life.

If us asking for you to, I dunno, talk about it somewhere else where it won’t make us uncomfortable, spoiler it, or maybe just tone it down a little bit, feels like being “sex negative” to you, then I genuinely worry how you treat other people and topics that make them uncomfortable. Y’all respect people’s discomfort and squicks until that person is ace and it shows.

Oh and if you try and tell me this isn’t an issue, that nobody is actually doing this, I will personally put crabs in your pillows. This shit is so constant I have the (dis)pleasure of seeing it in spaces I am apparently supposed to be welcomed in. My discomfort is not respected even in spaces that I’ve made myself. I’m laughed at and not taken seriously and viewed as childish/naive for not liking or understanding extremely sexual conversations/jokes even in my own friend-groups, and even around other aspec people, and even after I ask people to stop multiple times. Do not tell me what I, a sex-repulsed ace person, “actually” experience.

We’re allowed to joke about it being weird and not something we like. We Are Allowed To Not Like Sex, Guys.
