also like “how are cishet aces using up resources they don’t need if they aren’t oppressed hmm???” as if safe spaces away from oppressors aren’t a resource. as if spaces where some fuckin cis straight person venting about being called a plant or a machine doesn’t take precedence over people who are literally dying isn’t a resource. community in itself is a resource, one that takes time & money & sacrifice, often with our lives, to build. if all cishet aces need are info and you can’t even provide that for your own? if it’s cruel that lgbt folks don’t wanna take breaks from trying to survive to spoonfeed you info you could just google or ask an actual ace with that experience? i don’t see how yall intend to survive by doing the bare fucking minimum. if your community is out here struggling but your biggest activism is over a spot in an acronym? yall not gone make it. being in the el gee bee tee community ain’t gonna fix that laziness. you could be accepted tomorrow & what would you do then? yall don’t do any organizing for yourselves beyond calling people aerfs on the internet so good luck

I wanna bring up a hot take, bear with me.

So, EVEN IF TERFs were right about trans women being men, about trans people being confused and mentally ill… Like for the sake of this one single post let’s say they’re right.

Then you have a whole bunch of people who know how to live as themselves, and it’s not harming anyone. Some people are like “yeah, you can’t bar all trans people from dating you cuz that’s gross.” And yeah, some will want to be in safe spaces. Sure. They’ll ask you to change your language to be more mindful. So let’s say they’re wrong and you, a TERF, are right.

At the VERY WORST, your accommodating them is inconveniencing you. Your believing them is mildly annoying, maybe even stressful.

But, look at the flip side. When you DON’T accommodate them, they die. Their “mental illness” is never fixed. They kill themselves. They’re murdered. They’re systematically destroyed. They die.

So if you hold these viewpoints, what you’re telling me, from YOUR OWN PERSPECTIVE, is that the lives of a group of people who are inconveniencing you are LESS IMPORTANT than your convenience. You would rather have people die than, what, let them live their delusions? Than leave them alone? You are so incapable of letting people live their lives, so incapable of making small changes, that you would rather have them die?

That’s why you are ALWAYS going to be wrong. You could show me the most extensive research, give the best arguments, PROVE that trans people are the wrong ones. You could do all of that, and you would still be wrong. Because at the end of it, what you’re telling me is that people’s lives, their actual LIVES, are worth less to you than your convenience.

EVEN IF every single trans person is “faking, mentally ill, or confused,” it doesn’t matter. Their lives will ALWAYS be more important than your feelings.

And that’s on top of all the other shit you have to prove before we’ll believe you. Not only do you have to prove how they’re wrong, but you have to prove why your feelings are more important than their lives.

And that’s never going to happen.

Not going to go to the original post bc the wording on it is, a lot but, I think it's an important part of relationship to say youre aro/ace because its,,, an integral part of how you experience and participate in relationships. And, people who're equating it to being a closeted bi or trans person?? That's frankly just... not the same? Because, if you're in a relationship, being bi or trans won't affect the relationship in the same way if you stay closeted about it as it would if you were aro or ace. Like, if you're in a relationship with someone, and you're not aro or ace, it's to be assumed that youre attracted to them, no matter whether you're a closeted bi person, or a straight person, so you being closeted bisexual won't really affect how the relationship will be in terms of dynamic. The same goes for if you're trans, it's still going to be assumed that you're attracted to the person youre with no matter your gender, so being a closeted trans person won't affect the dynamic either. But, being aro or ace does inherently affect the dynamic because that means you either dont/can't/(whichever the preferred term is) feel romantic attraction or sexual attraction to your partner. This is something that's a major part of your relationship, seeing as it affects how you and your partner will interact, UNLIKE how being in the closet about being bi or trans will. I personally feel like if you're aro or ace, you should discuss that with your partner because your partner deserves to know whether or not you're romantically or sexually attracted to them? Granted, the sexually attracted part doesnt have to be early in the relationship, it all depends on how fast you go but. assuming its a romantic relationship, I think I'd like to know whether my partner was capable of romantically loving me or not before I committed to them, ya know?

#just my two cents #also im on mobile so sorry if this is #clunky kr messy at all #and the caps arent anger its just #lack of knowledge of html for italics djsksjjs #mine #also for reference im trans and gay so

love it when i see “pride” posts where someone makes like. 10 pride flag edits and 9 of them are ace micro-identities and then there’s just one bisexual flag or something like. okay. go ahead and ignore the gay, lesbian, pan, trans, and nb flags but i’m sure ur quiodemigraysexual flags are that important

#mogai hell

[xxdiscourseblogxx]

unpopular opinion: i like the “standard” ace flag

further unpopular opinion: remaking flags is literally pointless. there’s a reason for why the traditional flags are the way they are and even some of those that have history (like the lesbian flag, or even the bi and trans ones where the general public is concerned) aren’t widely known. remaking them yet again and again is doing nothing for spreading awareness of the existing flags and their meanings, and it erases them and their history

if you want to go make flags for solely personal use and make it clear that you only mean to use them for personal use, okay, whatever, not like anyone can stop you. but don’t act like everyone doesn’t gleefully jump at every opportunity to tear down and criticize remade flags coming from the “other side” for exactly the reasons i mentioned here, only to turn around and do the exact same thing. double standard much?

[xxdiscourseblogxx]

"aces don't get killed for being ace" um i literally don't care. Not our fault gay people get murdered lmao what are aces supposed to do? We don't even get recognised like gay people do sooo you appreciate your privilege a bit more

[xxdiscourseblogxx]

inclusionists: q**er isnt a slur, but this made up shit is bc it hurts our feelings :(

#q slur censored #mine

[xxdiscourseblogxx]

honestly as an aro I’ve felt far more validated and supported by the exclusionists I know than the ace community. you guys ignore our existence until it suits you as a discourse gotcha, frequently sex shame us etc. the ace community as it currently stands simply means erasure and sex shaming of aro people. were not included in your positivity or in your discourse, many of you actively seem to hate us and in the end we’re not any worse than you for experiencing sexual attraction nor are we evil or manipulative for not experiencing romantic attraction. and the vast amount of the time you tread all over us, erase us and honestly, there’s a reason there’s not so many aro but not ace inclusionists out there. hint, it’s because maybe you aren’t as inclusive as you really thought.

tldr: we’re not a discourse gotcha, if anything we counter the vast majority of the points you make. deal with your sex shaming and maybe get back to the exclusionists about how ‘aphobic’ they are when you really support everyone in the acomm.

[xxdiscourseblogxx]

asexuality was never in the DSM. spreading that it was is harmful to ace people over anyone else. stop trying to scare ace people into thinking theyre in danger for existing.

[xxdiscourseblogxx]

A lot of yall need to learn about the difference between oppression and horizontal aggression.

Lesbians cannot oppress bisexual women because they do not have the structural power necessary to benefit from the subjugation of bisexual women

Bisexual women cannot oppress lesbians because they do not have the structural power necessary to benefit from the subjugation of lesbians

This doesn’t mean that lesbians can’t be biphobic/bisexuals can’t be lesbophobic. It does mean that neither has privilege over the other–the are both oppressed on the same axis.

Horizontal aggression.

[xxdiscourseblogxx]

also yes, the phrase asexual didnt used to exist, they just were part of the bisexual community because they werent attracted to men or women/because they were attracted to them equally

[xxdiscourseblogxx]
