ace exclusionists have the reading comprehension of a peanut you can say "ace discourse on christmas is pathetic" and they will read it as "christmas is an asexual holiday" my brother in christ that is a whole new sentence

Im going to be extremely serious here for a minute
If you are overly involved in LGBT+ discourse of any kind maybe you should go spend some time in your local community spaces and see that that person that you said isn't queer enough for your tastes is an actual fucking human being who is probably more involved in the local community than you are.
Also if you think this is a bullshit rule consider why YOU are so comfortable to label with a community label without contributing to a community, and instead making it a label for all the people you agree with.
If you are reading this your special brand of exclusionary LGBT+ discourse is not holy or exempt from this. Im not even going to list everything coming to mind because that detracts from my point.

Both LGBT people and straight people were jumping on this black asexual women. Mainly saying she couldn’t be asexual because she’s wearing fetish gear(like since when did asexuals have a dress code). In both the quotes and replies. Plus they were asking, “what right do asexuals not have?”
Either way, I think it’s time we had a discussion about asexuality leaving the LGBT community and forming a community of our own and making exclusive organizations that just support US(Asexuals). Because it’s pretty clear the rest of the LGBT doesn’t want us, and I’m not going to waste my time around people who don’t want us.
Here’s Yasmin’s Instagram if you want to support: https://instagram.com/theyasminbenoit?igshid=MTIzZWMxMTBkOA==

☁️ Hey, hey! Here's a reminder! ☁️
You have been going through a lot of discourse tags..you should take a break!
Don't argue more, you're gonna tire yourself out, stop scrolling! Go get some fresh air, drink water, maybe close Tumblr for a while, your making your own blood boil by going through these tags.
I don't care about your stance on anything, don't argue with anyone for today for a change, its unhealthy for you! Please be civil for once and rest!
I have my own stances, you have yours, im not neutral and even go through discourse even, but you should take a break sometimes.
And besides, you probably have stuff to do, maybe some chores.. Maybe homework.. maybe you have something scheduled!
All i want you to know is, take a fucking break!
<3

Dreamt that the last argument of the debate about the inclusion of ace people into the LGBT community was that without them there wouldn't be bisexuals.
Because all the attractions were in a big pool and acespecs gave theirs to others and that's was the reason people could have multiple attractions.
It was a shitshow but the Idea is fun
Edit: grammar and clarity

I'm glad that ace people are getting their time to shine and are finally getting their respect... but I feel like us aros and arospecs are going to be left in the dust again. Because to alloromantics who are accepting of ace people "even without sex you can still have love 🥺"
But justifying an aro's queerness instead of just a "terrible/broken loveless robot" seems to be a lot less easy. We're seen as like... evil because romantic attraction either doesn't come easily or at all to us. And """love wins""" or whatever, which means we are left out because the phrase just usually means romantic love. Idk maybe I'm jaded.
Aphobia isn't just against asexuals... but we keep getting forgotten

cisgender straight women aren't privileged for being women. are they queer? no. are they privileged over trans women, gay women? yes.
cisgender straight aces aren't privileged for being ace. are they queer? no. are they privileged over LGBT people? yes.
shit for brains.
please explain to me how i am privileged for being asexual. no ifs no buts no using "cisgender straight" before "asexual" to make it into a Valid Thing To Say. tell me about the asexual privilege, john.

listen im ace and im pro kink at pride and whatever, but the way some of yall are wording your posts in response to the backlash against it is uh. really taking me back to the ace shitcourse era.
yall know theres nothing wrong with being a "virgin", right? that its not inherently shameful to have not had sex, to never have sex, even if youre not ace, even if you do want to have sex someday, like, its fine that you haven't had sex?
maybe if your problem is that theyre trying to police your behavior and shame you for expressing your sexuality, you can say that? instead of resorting to "haha stupid virgin gets no bitches" like my god. do you not hear how fucking regressive that attitude is? i know, i know, youre "joking".
get a better joke

If you weren't here during the height of the acecourse, I need you to know that there were people completely genuinely arguing that aces memeing about liking cake were homophobic and harming gay men with their memes.

In 2024, let’s try Minding Our Own Damn Business.
Someone is doing something you don’t like? Ask yourself these questions:
Are they hurting you?
Are they hurting anyone else?
Are they hurting themself?
If the answer to all of these questions is no, mind your own damn business! Leave them alone! Let them live! Both your life and their life will be much more enjoyable and peaceful when you start living your life and minding your business. When you don’t do that, you upset people and hurt them. Don’t do that.
