“lol asexuals dont face oppression!!”
asexuals: live in such a heavily sex influenced society that many feel broken and incomplete, face erasure both in and out of the lgbt community, have next to no awareness dedicated to them
“haha yeah theyre fine :)”
Shh shh shh people are not saying that asexual people don’t have problems or aren’t erased people are just saying that you aren’t going to get fucking fired or denied from a job because youre asexual You’re not going to profiled because you are asexual You’re not going to be denied basic human rights because you are fucking asexual
Asexuals are one of the most dehumanized and hated groups in the LGBTQIA+ community. They’re hated by heterosexuals and LGBTQIA+ people.
People are less likely to want to be around/hire/rent an apartment to an asexual person.
Asexuals are often seen as machines or animals.
Many asexuals are raped so they can be “fixed”.
Even people in the medical field think asexuals are broken.
Asexuals. Are. Not. Better. Off. Than. The. Rest. Of. Us.
Stop making this into a competition and stop invalidating their experiences and problems.
And i dont like that persons tone either. I dont like being talked down to.
Okay but, and I may be wrong here, when has an asexual been mutilated and murdered for their sexual orientation? How many asexuals have had their genitals cut from their bodies and shoved in humiliating places and then left for the public, for being asexual? How many times have asexuals been raped and then murdered just for being asexual? Because it happens all the time to trans and gay kids. I’m not saying asexuals don’t face discrimination and erasure, but when was the last time an asexual person was brutally murdered for being ace? Come back and tell me they’re “one of the most hated LGBTQIA+ identities” when you can answer “more than homosexuals and trans people” because those two groups are still being murdered on the daily.
(For the record I’m what would be considered grey-ace and go through frequent periods of sex repulsion so don’t act as though I’m bashing asexuals with this. I’m just saying we’re not getting near the rate of violence as our peers)
Did you Did you read the post? Did you miss the corrective rape part?
Im sorry but i see rape as a million times worse than murder and i think that counts fuck you. That kind of violence is enough, not to mention the amount of rapes that end in death, either in the moment or by suicide.
And the medical field thinking were broken? That leads to the oh so common abuse of asexuals/queer in the mental health field which, guess what, leads to rape and MURDER. so yeaaaah it does happen so please leave lmfao
The only real “criteria” for oppression is systematic discrimination and we have that so fuck off wit ur oppression olympics bs. Ace ppl r oppressed.
I’m not saying Ace people aren’t oppressed.
I’m not saying they/we don’t face discrimination and violence
I’m challenging the quote “Asexuals are the most hated and dehumanized group in the LGBTQIA+ community”
And as people who face rape death and discrimination from within and out of the q community just for their own sexuality, id say they are. The quote i think is saying that were not just hated by “the straights” but by literrally everyone
We def experience the most dehumanization, and literally everyone hates us so i mean idnt think theyre wrong. The rest of the community faces a diff kind of bs. Ace ppl specifically deal w dehumanization and hatred from literally everyone.
So do trans people. Everything you just said applies to trans people as well.
Can you actually tell me about that? Im cis so i would like to understand better bc i hadnt rlly thought of that. Its ok if not but i wanna know for future reference about how theyre dehumanized.
Sexual assault & rape discussion CW:
Both trans men and trans women are regularly reduced to their genitals by cis people from within and outside of the community. (Nonbinary trans people as wel, the extent to which usually depends on presentation and designated at birth sex).
“Corrective rape” is rather common, I’ve had multiple friends subjected to people who thought they were “just trans because they couldn’t get laid”.
We are regularly subjected to being questioned in public about sexual characteristics we often feel huge amounts of dysphoria over, and when we don’t answer we’re often subjected to continued pestering about it.
“It” pronouns are often used to reference trans people, and pronouns and correct gender referencing are often considered “privileges” that cis people can take away from trans people if they disagree with them.
Once you come out as trans you’re often considered “other”. Both female and male friends stop seeing you as equal. You are nothing except for your transness to them.
Alright i get it. Ty actually. It wasnt very clear to me that u werent just saying ace ppl in general dont experience oppression since thats what this post is about and i figured thats what you were responding to; but yea as long as u agree tht we experience oppression then i agree with u, bc claiming any is the most dehumanized or anything is its own oppression olympics esque thing and trans ppl do deal w the same things.
Yeah exactly. Asexual people definitely experience oppression and prejudice, I'm just saying they're not the most oppressed/hated as wad claimed.
