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.

I’ve been seeing a massive influx of Aroace posts. I am Aroace and completely unaware of what’s going on. What poll? What discourse? What happened 😭 do we need to invade another country again? Isn’t it the darn year of the dragon? DO I GOTTA BURN SOMEBODY????

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Alice Oseman included Jess, an aromantic bisexual, in Loveless?

Not that I don't absolutely love aroace rep as well, but I also don't think there's enough rep for allosexuals on the aro spectrum.

Jess is the first character I've ever seen that's aromantic and still feels sexual attraction, and I think that should mean something.

We need to love our aromantic allosexual characters just the same as our asexual alloromantic characters, people!

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

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈Happy pride month y’all🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🩷I used the original Gilbert Baker flag with the pink stripe to fit the blog theme🩷

Anyway

I’m having trouble finding the right words for what I want to say here but, to all the lgbtqia+ people reading this post (especially those that are trans)

With everything that has happened this year it’s easy to feel like you are completely alone and that the entire world is against you, but know there are so many people like you and those who support you and we are all still fighting and we will not let anyone silence us.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy pride this year 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🩷

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think "fuck" is only said once throughout the great library series and Glain gets to say it.

Time for the gay month. I hope everyone have a good pride month, everyone is valid and deserve to be treated as a person

I myself will go thru the month casually. Hopefully you get to see more (gay) art from me, and from a few more Fandoms from my usual stomping grounds

Has Down With Love ever been reclaimed by aros as an aromantic anthem? 'Cause it should.

"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 🚀⚡
