hey when we frame the lgbt+ community as a hierarchy of oppression with some groups being definitively more and less oppressed we create an environment where that hierarchy can be exploited in the name of bigotry

exclusionists thrive on the very concept of some people inherently mattering less while conversely being able to frame those people as privileged because it allows them to frame their overt bigotry as activism and self defense as bigotry. and no matter how many times it happens people always fall for it because exclusionists manage to word it in terms that sound reasonable until you understand what they’re actually saying.

“men aren’t oppressed for being men” sounds reasonable until you realize that it’s being said by a terf or being said to insist that trans men don’t face generalized oppression or misogyny. “cishets aren’t oppressed for being cishet” sounds reasonable until you realize that it’s being said to paint a marginalized identity as straight to cover up their oppression and justify bullying.

it happened to bi people, it happened to pan people, it happened to ace people, happened to aro people, it happened to trans women, to nonbinary people, it happened to non-dysphoric trans people, and it’s happening to trans men. and it’s going to keep happening until we’re willing to defend our own and reach out with love and compassion to individuals solely because they, personally, are hurting and we have the ability to help them

the fact that we have people looking at other individuals, people they know nothing about, and telling them that their pain isn’t real or that it doesn’t matter, that their lived experiences don’t matter, because their identity is lesser somehow, because they’re “less oppressed,” is proof enough that any sort of hierarchy, no matter how well intended, can be exploited for pain and violence

Aphobe blocked me for saying “hey I think it’s ok for an autistic ace to hc an autistic coded character as ace. Especially if they related to the character.” Lmao

I will also add !

people infantilize autistic people and people infantilize asexual people, sometime people will insist that an autistic (coded) character is asexual Because they infantilize them.

This Is Not The Fault Of Either Autistic Or Asexual People.

criticizing people for acting like autistic characters don't know what sex is or are too "pure" for it, generally acting like they're little baby children that either have to be protected from sex or are too stupid to get it. That is fine, that's Necessary.

but simplifying that down to "don't headcanon autistic characters as asexual" Contributes To The Infantilization Of Asexual People.

because it's Conceding that the two Must go hand in hand. that it is inherently infantilization for someone to be asexual. which just is not the case. personally I think it's very easy to not infantilize autistic ace people, as an autistic ace person myself.

situations like this can be very difficult to navigate, because undeniably there IS bigotry happening in the ways that people treat characters (and people) like this. but it's very important that Neither of the traits involved take the fall for it. especially because this combination of traits is something that real people have.

hey guys we have got to stop making asexual headcanons about very obviously autistic coded characters

everytime I've seen a recovering addict on this site post something about wishing there were more fun social spaces that weren't geared around substance use (including myself) I've seen them get called immature asexual anti-sex homophobes who need to grow up and get a grip. which is definitely cool and normal and a reasonable way to react to people talking about different accessibility needs.

the idea of public restrooms as "women's spaces" continues to confound me. you know who I hope is in a public bathroom when I go in?? no one. I would prefer no one else be in the bathroom. and if someone else is in the bathroom I am going to ignore them as much as possible. I did not go into the bathroom to connect with other women. I went into the bathroom to piss and/or shit. it's a toilet's space, not a women's space. shut the fuck up and let trans people piss and shit in peace. let's all continue to avoid eye contact with each other and any and all interaction in the toilet's space.

imagine you're some guy and you're going through the woods one day and you stumble upon a house and the people who live there just give you free food and eventually let you inside and it's like nothing you've ever seen before and the people are so nice and loving towards you and then one day they decide to never let you leave again, steal your balls, and give you a stupid fucking hair cut
