“I’m like, ‘Okay, she’s a doll. She’s a plastic doll. She doesn’t have organs. If she doesn’t have organs, she doesn’t have reproductive organs. If she doesn’t have reproductive organs, would she even feel sexual desire?’ No, I don’t think she could,” Robbie said. “She is sexualized. But she should never be sexy. People can project sex onto her. Yes, she can wear a short skirt, but because it’s fun and pink. Not because she wanted you to see her butt.”
Margot Robbie said Ace Barbie Rights with her whole chest.

To all the people who think aspec people aren't LGBTQIA+ because we aren't "discriminated against enough", here's a lovely list of reasons why you need to educate yourself:
- We suffer from dehumanisation, people actively devaluing or even erasing our humanity because of our identities (The voidpunk community is heavily supported by aspec people because of this)
- We suffer from self hatred due to feeling as if and being told we are broken, that no one can be happy unless they're in a romantic/sexual relationship, because of allonormativity and amatonormativity that actively damages our mental health
- Amatonormativity shapes laws that put us at an active disadvantage, such as giving married people financial and legal benefits
- Aspec people have been victims of conversion therapy, correctional rape, a lower quality of life, and other effects of being a marginalised and oppressed group
- We suffer from our identities being pathologised and deal with medical stigma because of this, causing many of us to feel unwelcome in and even avoid health care settings
- We suffer from our identities being erased, which can range from people completely denying our existence and people equating it to celibacy, to an almost complete absence of aspec representation in the media (It's been getting better lately, especially for alloaces and aroaces, but I have yet to ever see a canon aroallo character, and representation for those on the spectrum rather than in the extremes is often ignored)
- YOU are creating a hateful, exclusionary space in a community meant to be about inclusion. The same thing that happens to us happens to bisexual people, to polyamorous people, and other identities that are "disputed." In a community meant to be about rejecting the norm, YOU are shoving us out because we don't fit the norm of being LGBTQIA+. Because we're not enough like you.
These are only a few examples of aphobia that people like me deal with. Discrimination and oppression against aspec people stretches far beyond this.
But even if it didn't, it is disrespectful and harmful to everyone involved to gatekeep membership in the community based on oppression and discrimination.
We aren't LGBTQIA+ because we experience oppression. We are LGBTQIA+ because our existence alone goes against heteronormativity and other societal norms forced upon us.

Hello. I'm here to remind y'all that aro-ace rights are still a problem. Bigger than you think.
Let's say someone's gay and they come out. What do they hear?
You're just confused/it's a phase/you just want attention/it's a sin
Now, what's the difference with aspec people? We are told all of that AND that it's a mental illness. And I'm beeing serious!
Everyone knows about the existence of gay people and homophobes just see it as sinful/bad/unnatural, but for aspec? It's treated like some emotional problems, you are told you are some sort of heartless asocial person who cannot understand basic emotion! And some therapists WILL treat it like a mental illness

Tbh the idea that aspec people are 'innocent' and 'don't know what sex is' seems equally insulting and infatilizing as saying the same shit abt autistic ppl
Equating ‘childlike innocence’ or ‘pitiable inexperience’ with either identity is bullshit, tbh. It’s an unfortunately rampant mindset especially in fandom spaces. For example, people in the She Ra fandom assumed Entrapta was aspec due to her autism coding until she started explicitly flirting with robots and spaceships in season 5. Besides, someone can still be Allo and “not know what sex is”, for example Travis Touchdown. He’s not aspec and probably not autistic, he’s just an anime nerd with no charm whatsoever.

Yeah sex sounds great but have you ever played subway surfers and used three boosts and multipliers then gotten a pogo stick which chains into a jetpack?

"Love is what makes you human"
Oh thank fuck so I can't categorise myself with you bigoted losers-- oh wait was I supposed to be upset about that?
What ACTUALLY makes me human is the deal I made with Apollo to take a roughly you shaped form in order to interact with the cool bugs of the world and make snakes out of cardboard tubes. In exchange I have to drive the sun chariot every Saturday and Tuesday.
I will say that you humans are a bit of a drawback though. Whatever, back to drawing stars and rocket ships 🚀⚡

A post to trend the aromantic, asexual, aroace, and all the aspec/arospec tags.
Screw you Valentines day.
(Also you are all valid and everybody who says otherwise is a billion times wrong)
Guys I literally ran out of tags I am so sorry to any identity I left out. Maybe I’ll make another one with the rest. Tag this with any identity under the aroace umbrella I may have missed!!!! We will get these tags all trending!!!!!!!

As an ace I'd love to see more media representation but I am kinda glad they decided not to go that route with Tech.
The few aces out there are usually awkward, nerdy and neuro divergent, essentially because society tells us that it's weird and unnatural to not feel sexual attraction.
So please give Tech a girlfriend and find us better ace representation.

how are there still aphobes in the world, nix that actually, how were there ever aphobes
how the fuck do you not comprehend something as simple as "some people just don't have sexual/romantic attraction and are just as oppressed in this society as anyone else who deviates from the norm"
why is there fuckin fighting about who is more oppressed than who, why you gotta fight anyone else who is just trying to make it through this shit world
