(cw corrective therapy mention, acephobia)
You know how I’m always saying how much sex-repulsed asexuals get thrown under the bus for acephobia that targets specifically them?
Tumblr media
Saw this reply from someone with ace flag colors on their name, about a targeted attack on a sex-repulsed asexual activist that recommended corrective sex to “fix” asexuals.
Don’t do this
Don’t do this
Don’t do this.
I don’t even have words for how crushing it is to see the response to horrific acephobia be “oh but that’s only attacking the sex-repulsed ones! you see, aces can have sex too”
When you see sex-repulsed aces facing harassment, stigma, threats, you name it, PUT YOUR LITTLE DICTIONARY DEFINITION AWAY and actually show some care. Congrats! This particular attack doesn’t apply to you! But it sure as hell is aimed at the rest of us, so a little compassion would be nice. It doesn’t NEED to affect every single type of asexual person on the planet to be harmful. It shouldn’t NEED to affect you for you to care.
Yes, I’m talking to fellow aces too, because I’m sick and tired of our own community not even having our back.

The 'aces are pure and innocent' thing drives me bonkers for so many reasons. Like not only is it gross and infantalizing as a stereotype, I'm right here writing monster porn, come on!
"Well what about sex repulsed aces-" I am a sex repulsed ace! I do not do anything irl, fiction is a different playground. And just because someone may be sex repulsed it doesn't make them any less of an adult, nor does it limit their capacity for knowing what sex is, honestly.
And stop asociating have sex with being a neccesary factor of adulthood already come on. (And there's also nothing that removes people from being 'wholesome' for having sex either, get out of that purity crap)

all power to the barbie movie's PR team or some such, but I strongly dislike it when a fictional character is called asexual because they "don't have reproductive organs" or "the biology for sex" or a sex drive or whatever. asexual because they're a doll or a robot or an alien or otherwise inhuman. maybe as a trans person I'm just sensitive to the bioessentialism, but I promise you that not only do many real-life asexuals have perfectly functioning reproductory and endocrine systems and still neither experience sexual attraction nor want to fuck, but there are also PLENTY of people who don't have "the equipment" or who otherwise have low sex drives who absolutely manage to be horny as hell. allo paraplegics make it work. and even if they didn't, or couldn't, a lack of sex organs or hormones is not the sole defining feature of one's orientation. there are kinky aces, aces who get horny without wanting anyone in particular, as well as allos who want to get it up but can't. their biology doesn't define their attraction or desire or orientation or identity.
not to say there aren't people whose orientations don't change over time, of course, or who attribute their orientation to a specific cause (e.g. physical or psychological trauma, meds, surgery). but to imply that one's biology must result in one's orientation (and the attendant implication that if one's biology could be changed it could Fix Your Queerness), is something I'm strongly, strongly at odds with. It's a weird intersection of anti-queerness and disregard for disabled experiences, imo.
anyway this is all to say that if you think a robot or doll or an asexually-reproducing alien character COULDN'T be horny, you're an idiot with no imagination who's not even managing to respect asexuality with it. i can think of a hundred ways to be horny without genitals, easy as breathing, I'm a certified robotfucker, get on my level. nonhumanity doesn't mean asexual, because sex isn't what makes us human. asexuality as an orientation isn't merely biology, neither is sex for that matter, and respecting the ace robots who DON'T want to fuck means respecting the robots who DO.

i hate how the fandom treats my sexuality as a joke, even the own CANON treats my sexuality as a joke, something left up in the air. listen, im not here to say you can’t ship me, or not have me as an f/o or whatever, go for it! but, its the way you go ABOUT IT that can be disrespectful to aroace people.
people go to great lengths and stretches to “explain” why they’re shipping me, and it gets tiring. “maybe he’s greyromantic and graysexual!” NO. I AM NOT. I AM AROACE. i apologize for this angry rant, i truly do, but this is tiring to deal with.
- sincerely, a very tired alastor kinnie

Aro culture is subtlety remarking to someone you trust that you will likely never get married nor have sex; only for it to be disregarded and told that you will someday,,, (Not my mom tho! Love you mom, she gets it!)

Ew.
Was trying to add my Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder to a med app thingy, and they didn’t have it in long-form, so I tried different abbreviations, including HSD.
Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder did not show up under HSD, but ya know what did? HSDD, also known as Hyposexual Desire Disorder. And that’s when I remembered that asexuality is STILL considered a fucking mental illness!
Fuck that fuck that fuck that!
I am mentally ill. I’m an insane bitch. I’m literally psychotic – as in I experience psychosis. Been on psych meds since I was 12. I’ve got diagnoses up to my ears and then some.
I can say with certainty, as a mentally ill asexual, that asexuality is NOT a mental illness.
Fuck, I want to punch something.

ok some rant under the cut and me being acephobic to myself
it's funny how usually when people find out they're not straight they get in denial and pretend they're straight and some time later they accept and love who they are
it's being the opposite with me lol when i found out i was asexual in 2017, i was so happy and proud and i would think about being asexual 24/7 and be so happy bc of it
but these past two months i started hating being ace. i hate being ace so much. i hate that i'm not allosexual like most people. all my romance problems would be solved if i was allosexual bc society ties romance with sex even if both are two different things.
idk i just can't help but feel envy. it's so easy for them to date. i never dated anyone bc all those dudes were all allosexual and i wouldn't force myself to have sex with them just to make them happy. that would kill MY happiness.
i fucking hate being asexual so muuuuuch and idk how to get back to the "i love being ace" state again 😭

If you’re not supporting the most sex-repulsed, disinterested, doesn’t-enjoy-sexual-content asexual out there, you’re not supporting ace people.
I don’t care if you don’t understand them or can’t relate. I don’t care if you’re somewhere else on the ace spectrum. I’m getting so tired of people making excuses for why something isn’t acephobic because oh it only throws sex-repulsed people under the bus!

The idea of everything I go through now is completely idiotic yet so real. I hate this idea of not being in MY body and doing what I wish to do. The comments I see about myself from source are absolutely disgusting and nobody seems to care about I am “aroace” as they so put it. I, both here and back then, despise the idea of romance and would never do anything in a romantic way. I hope there is a day where people finally understand that and stop “shipping” me with those I once knew.

Aro culture is being annoyed when your partner invalidates your sexuality by saying "Im going to revert you back"
"annoyed" i'd straight up dump them and get the hell out of there, that's uhhh. really, really bad.

bitch this is not an “acephobia” if you’re not asexual 🤣
Look at your own shitty drawings, how the fuck THIS matches with “asexuality” you stupid pervertika?
Katya being too stupid to research asexuals, or speak to any of us. Par for the course

hahaha meme jokes that are jokes about people being gay are funnie and ok to spread around and treat like normal/fine even when it spreads around the gross rhetoric that a relationship must have sex/be erotically driven for it to be a real relationship 
-fandoms apparently
