– asexuality and aromanticism are minority orientations
– there is no ace or aro privilege
– aces and aros as a group do not benefit from sex-shaming or from the sexualization of oppressed groups
– many ace and aros are in fact harmed by sex-shaming and the sexualization of oppressed groups
– aces and aros are not more likely to be bad people than others, there is literally no reason or excuse to assume that
– asexuality and aromanticism are not desexualizing identities
– society at large is not thrilled about ace and aro identities. To start with, a lot of people think it’s not “normal” to not experience sexual attraction and a lot of people think romantic love is an essential part of “the human experience”
– society has zero qualms about pathologizing ace and aro identities, denying their existence and painting them as something in need of “fixing”
– aces and aros often do not learn their orientations exist until way late, if ever. They’re generally not taught about in school or college or in any comparable contexts and a lot of people with power there have zero interest in this changing (for example, because they think our identities are “unhealthy” and/or because they refuse to acknowledge them as orientations)
– a lot of aces and aros have recounted a lot of really bad experiences connected to people learning/knowing they’re ace and/or aro
– aces and aros are not in any way better protected from harm than other people
– there is literally no reason to act as if all this isn’t true
A reminder that this blog supports Asexual Awareness Week, and also trans rights under the Trump administration. Both are important, and aces don’t deserve to have our pride diminished for the (phony) sake of us trans people.
Every Republican is a little hall-monitor-ass wuss. Jesus, this guy didn’t get shoved into nearly enough lockers as a kid.
Like honestly, this is the most earnest, cute, delightfully juvenile, fun-for-the-whole-family, non-partisan sign vandalism I’ve ever seen. Who could possibly be mad at this? This fucking roaster is fuming mad about “political violence”. It’s fucking hilarious.
Democrats everywhere finding pipe bombs in their mailboxes but googly eyes are political violence.
Hey do y’all fucks remember two years ago when just before the election all these “don’t vote both parties are bad” or “vote independent!” Posts were going around and then Trump won and now two weeks before midterms there’s all these “don’t bother voting, revolution is the only way!” And “your vote isn’t gonna matter and is an ineffective way to protest” posts are going around? Yeah knock that shit right the fuck off, don’t fall for it and get your ass to the polls, we are not doing this again.
