I am SCREAMING
if you don't have a sleep disorder. Please shut the fuck up about my sleep disorder. thanks
You're a disgusting racist transmisogynist for saying that LGBT activism started with and centers around "white gay dudes" and I honest to fucking god want you to kill yourself
just another day blockin aphobes
If you can be ace and: -Experience sexual attraction (demi-, grey-, lithro) -Want/enjoy/have sex (applies to all aces but specifically cupio-)
What is the shared ace experience?
And how is a cishet ace “oppressed” but a cishet non-ace with no libido or even a low libido isn’t? How does a cishet ace understand LGBT issues and relate to them but a sex repulsed non-ace doesn’t?
There is no coherent ace identity and therefore no coherent way for aces to be oppressed or for cishet aces to claim LGBT status.
Explain to me how society SPECIFICALLY targets a lack of sexual attraction (or sexual attraction that needs a strong bond to form or only rare sexual attraction) and not just a lack of sexual behavior. Which isn’t something that applies to all aces and IS something that applies to a lot of non-ace.
Do you think sex repulsed non-aces are LGBT and oppressed too? What’s the functional, tangible difference between a sex repulsed non-ace and an ace who doesn’t have sex? What does a cishet ace who has and loves sex need LGBT specific resources for?
Y'all fucked yourselves over so badly making your identity this incoherent, which is why I totally get why so many aces drop the label. It doesn’t mean anything anymore.
It did once. But now it’s just a way to feel like you’re marginalized and special.
Just a heads up–if you ever actually interacted with the real world, you’d know that every single human being has a different and complicated relationship with sex and romance and attraction and you aren’t fucking special for it.
I can’t believe people spew this shit around Pride.
1. If you identify as ace it doesn’t fucking matter when you do or do not want to/have sex. It matters that you identify as ace. Labels change all the time but that doesn’t mean they don’t help people who are literally so marginalized no one knows they exist. If I fuck someone despite not feeling sexually attracted to them what the fuck does it matter to you? We are way past the time of asking everyone to justify their existence every second of the day. The ace experience is being shit on so thanks for making it a little bit stronger with this post.
2. Society targets a lack of sexual attraction by putting sex on this untouchable pedestal and assuming that all human beings are sexual. If you’re not, you’re clearly broken. That’s why there’s no discourse about whether or not sex sells; society accepts it as gospel and sexualizes everything down to M&Ms. It doesn’t matter if society oppresses aces by painting a target or by gaslighting the fuck out of them. They’re both equally serious forms of oppression and they exist today.
3. What the fuck LGBT resources are you talking about? No one is asking to divert funds away from the Trevor Project to build a gray black and purple temple in the sky. The main resource that any oppressed group needs is a community of their peers that share similar struggles and recognize them as valid. Respect and attention are not zero-sum. If you see an ace flag at Pride you’re not diverting attention away from the ten million rainbow flags. If you type LGBTQIA instead of LGBT the only resource “the aces” are taking up is .05 milliseconds of your time. “Oh no, I had to think about seven different kinds of people instead of four. Man, those aces are a drain on my resources.” Seriously, what the fuck?
4. Sex-repulsed cishets can identify however the fuck they want to. You’re literally policing entry into LGBTQIA communities from people who want to be validated and supported just as much as anyone else. Again, none of this shit is zero-sum. The more people that identify as LGBTQIA/ace the more people you have defending LGBTQIA rights that are under attack. Playing “who’s got it the worst” is an unproductive waste of time. You want to make a hierarchy of the most to least oppressed? Better fucking do something with it. Show your hierarchy to the trans community in the US that lost 28 people in 2016, a disproportionate amount of which were Black trans women, and ask them what they think about how you’ve put aces on the bottom. You’re not going to get a pat on the back. You’re not going to save any lives. You want to work with the most oppressed, go work with them and put your aphobic garbage back wherever you found it.
5. I hope you feel good about bullying people on Tumblr. I hope you sleep well at night knowing that this garbage post went into tags that are supposed to be safe spaces for people who literally don’t have a safe space in the real world. I hope you meet some lovely aces at Pride and you reconsider your views. It’s 2017 and you’re spewing hate. Grow up.
Asexuality has fuck all to do with pride, mate.
1. What is the ace experience tho? If you can experience sexual attraction, fuck, and be attracted to any gender, what does it mean to be ace? I’m asking as an ace person. That was the point of this post.
2. Okay but that hurt sex repulsed people too? And, y'unno what? It’s not sex sells–it’s the sexual objectication of women, fetishization of marginalized/vulnerable groups (people of color, lgbt people, minors), and pushing of heteronormativity that sells. So, uh, we’re all fucking hurt by that? Being exposed to sex in the media isn’t oppression anyways?? Like, it isn’t a specific assault on asexuals. And that doesn’t even affect aros? So, yeah, the corporate take on sexuality benefits capitalism and that’s about it. Everyone else is fucked by it–it’s to make us all insecure and pliable. Y'all aren’t special.
3. If y'all aren’t using up resources, why do you need the LGBT community, an activist group meant to combat systemic oppression and support those who are systemically oppressed? If you don’t need anything from us besides representation, why not actually create your own movement? I genuinely wanna know what you think the LGBT community does besides validate people and recognize them in an acronym.
4. Why do people need to identify as LGBT to fight for LGBT rights? Why can’t people ally with a community without demanding support from it? Why is ace support of the LGBT community conditional? Why are you tokenizing the horrific death of trans women to say “instead of focusing on fighting transmisogyny and transmisogynoir, we should allocate time into letting cishets know that we still love them even though they benefit from the very system that gets trans women killed?” How fucking terrible are you?
5. I’m ace. Tumblr isn’t a safe spaces and if aces feel so unsafe they can fucking create tangible safe spaces or at least safe spaces on a website that is moderated, just for aces, and actually blocks nazis, pedophiles, and white supremacists unlike Tumblr.
Anyways, I hope you learn LGBT history, think about what this community was meant to accomplish, and apologize to at least five LGBT people today for saying that their safe spaces shouldn’t be safe because being nice to cishets and letting them into the spaces they oppress is the only reasonable thing you can think of to help LGBT people.
Pride is about pride in the LGBTQIA community. So yeah, when you're excluding people from that, it is fucking relevant.
1. The point of your post was to trigger ace people and remind them that they're "not special" so basically fuck off. Obviously people have different definitions of what being ace means just like they do with being queer. Why bother policing what people choose to label themselves? This goes into resources so check out (3)
2. Yes, everyone is hurt by blatant sexism in the media. That doesn't mean some people aren't hurt more. This includes the people you mentioned, POC and especially WOC, etc. but also includes ace people.
3. You're conflating "LGBT community" with LGBTQIA activism. A community is a group of people with something in common who choose to congregate for their own wellbeing as well as to create safety in numbers. Not every LGBTQIA person is an activist and not every LGBTQIA activist identifies within the community like you pointed out in regards to allies. "The LGBT community" you're referring to is a historical activist movement that originally centered on white cis gay men. Those individuals still dominate LGBTQIA activism but the history of their advocacy has fuck-all to do with the community as it exists today as a space for marginalized people who identify as LGBTQIA.
On resources: it would be fucking wonderful if being in the acronym meant you get a slice of advocacy. Again, that doesn't happen. There are no resources that suffer from being spread to more people especially when the resources I'm talking about, being recognized by a community of your peers and having a space to be yourself without oppression, are again, not zero-sum. And the reason aces don't create their own movement is because they are INVISIBLE. Even people who might be objectively defined as ace can be reluctant to label themselves that way because of aphobes and sexual politics - basically everything you bring up attacking asexuals. Why don't all the letters in LGBTQIA have their own groups? is basically what you're asking and if you don't realize why that's a ridiculous as fuck question I don't know what to tell you. There's so much overlap in the LGBTQIA community that it would literally be counterproductive from a community, activism, and PR point of view to separate. Straight people already have so many misconceptions about what it means to be queer. You want to add onto that the confusion of having seven different groups try to define themselves and the other parts of the acronym like everyone is neatly divided as an L G B T Q I or A.
4. Dude what the fuck are you talking about? Reread my original point about the hierarchy you're creating. Then come back and tell me that I'm somehow killing trans people (not just women, people) by not wanting to play "Who's got it the worst" in the LGBTQIA community. And since fucking when are aces demanding anything from the community? Literally what resources are you talking about anyway? All aces want is to be included in the ONLY MOVEMENT that recognizes them as people. If you're in support of including allies in the LGBTQIA community then the only reason you have to exclude asexuals is aphobic.
5. "Anyone who feels unsafe should create their own multimillion dollar microblogging website instead of being active on the one that already exists." That's what you just said. You're justifying your bullying of aces by pulling the Nazis on Tumblr card instead of, I don't know, bullying the Nazis off Tumblr (a much more constructive use of your time than this aphobic bullshit).
Happy Pride, dude. Go have a long think about why you're so pissed that people get to be included in the only community they identify with. Go outside and look at a tree, shit, I don't know. Just calm the fuck down and start helping your community instead of throwing people out.
bless you for shutting that aphobe down so well you're the real mvp
haha tyvm!!!! it felt great tbh and i'd been wavering about going to Pride but there is no way my gay ACE ass is missing it now :))))

(08.06.2004) my chemical romance’s second studio album, three cheers for sweet revenge, was released thirteen years ago today.
*young republican voice* i don’t see why my rich, rich, rich rich rich, rich rich rich rich, so fucking rich, father should have to pay for poorer boys school lunches. he could spend that money on a racism machine
Racism machine… You mean a brain?
this is what the right deems as a comeback
Has a self-burn ever been so devastating?
op: right wing people are mean and racist right-winger, attempting a comeback: Oh yeah? Well, I’m racist

“Just lending a paw in the garden.. 😊😛 Need any holes dug? I’m your dog! 🐕” ~ Crusoe
this is cute and fun imo!
It should be noted, however (for those of you who might go ‘Hey let’s try this at home!’), that if you don’t train them exactly right* they might think ‘This is the spot where I dig now’ and then dig up the plants. Everyone, please note the fence. It’s taller than the dachshund and they aren’t made for jumping.
(They’re made for digging, though, so this is an EXCELLENT way to channel their bred-for burrowing behaviors. Again, as long as you do so correctly–dogs will be dogs, please don’t expect dachshunds to not dig.)
*Telling them to dig in a specific area will sometimes help, but like… You cannot always get what you want. They were bred for chasing badgers and rabbits. Be reasonable.
Definitely cute and adorable, but also definitely a trained behavior. @fireheartedkaratepup is definitely right about the fact that you have to think pretty carefully about where you allow your dog to dig - even once - because they can and will generalize ‘digging on cue’ to ‘spot I dig’.

update: this is him now
do you ever see someone in some quiet intimate moment and suddenly love them so desperately you feel like you’re dying
#like when they pass a mirror and make a face and mess with their hair a little #or when you hear someone singing in their car with the windows rolled up as they drive past you #i don’t know how to express this i just. people are people and it makes me so sad and filled up sometimes
I love seeing grown humans setting about little creative tasks out of boredom and then looking quietly pleased with themselves, like maybe a middle-aged woman on her train home from work manages to make a tower out of empty coffee creamers and gazes at it proudly for a few seconds.
I love seeing other people make the overblown OOPS I FORGOT SOMETHING performance for no-one that most of us do when we have to turn around in the middle of the pavement.
I love seeing stony-faced people in queues unable to contain a smile when a baby looking over its mother’s shoulder in front of them locks eyes and does that astonished stare.
