And people say there is no oppression against asexuals? No, I’m not trying to compare asexual hate to hate on LGBT people, but there still is opression and violence. When people say you don’t exist, you are a devil worshipper and you deserve to be raped in hell, yeah, maybe there is Acephobia. (This especially bother me because I’m christian and i hate seeing the Bible used as a tool of hate) Aces, like lesbians, do have to deal with the threat of “corrective” rape. No, not everybody is like this. But there is so little awareness about asexuality that it is misunderstood. (Asexuals can’t love, they like animals, it’s a hormonal problem, they hate people who have sex, they can’t have kids, that’s not a thing humans can be, lies lies lies) and some of this hate does come from the LGBT community. I’ve seen posts by FCKH8 saying asexuality does not exist. So yeah, we exist and there is some opression and erasure.
Rant over.
EXCUSE ME
THERE IS ONLY 300 NOTES ON THIS POST?!
As someone who identifies as asexual, these posts hurt me and make me question an orientation I am comfortable identifying as because I feel it applies to me.
I have 600+ followers. I expect all of you to reblog this, or you can unfollow me right now. I’m not trying to say that asexuals suffer more than others, but you should know that we suffer, and you should stand with us.
I am relying on the rest of the LGBTQA community, and anyone who knows me and loves and respects me for who I am and whatever orientation I choose to use, to please help us. Show your support. Stand with us against this. It only makes me more upset that so few people know about this.
Go on and hate me if you want, but before you click on my askbox, ask yourself: How would I feel if this was written about my orientation?
Anyway, sorry for the rant, but tl; dr, please reblog.
Followers, for those of you who can stomach this, please reblog. This needs to be seen and understood by every single person out there who claims that asexuality doesn’t exist, that we don’t face erasure, that we don’t fact hate.
This is proof right here of the negativity that we face.
TRIGGER WARNING FOR ACEPHOBIA.
