Literally pay aphobes no attention. They don't matter and neither does anything else they have to say.

Asexuals are no more inherently abusers than any other orientation. 

Asexuals do not ‘inflict’ themselves on their partners. 

Asexuals are worthy of love and understanding. 

Asexuals can be in relationships with non-ace folk.

Never try to redefine someone else's abuse to fit your rhetoric. Don't tell abuse survivors it was actually because of ______. Don't erase what they're saying and interpret the reasons for their abuse. That's sick. Don't tell asexual conversion therapy victims that they were actually sent to conversion therapy because of 'misdirected homophobia'. Don't erase their struggle because it's inconvenient to your arguments. Don't tell them their wrong because you think 'asexuals aren't sent to conversion therapy'. Clearly you're in the wrong if an actual victim of that therapy is telling you they were in fact sent there because of their asexuality. Don't talk over victims. This isn't hard. Don't tell abuse survivors that their experience with sexuality at a young age was wrong. That's literally the last thing they need to hear, and the very last thing they deserve. Have some human decency. Stop talking over victims and erasing their testimonies because they don't fit your stupid box.

Asexual inclusion is the radical notion that a group of people already present in the LGBTQIA community, who has been there all along under less-fitting labels for them, should be able to stay in their own community.

Aphobe is not synonymous with LGBT. And why would you want it to be?

[gatikmaverick]

If you are proudly claiming to be an aphobe don't pretend like you want to have honest discussions with asexuals

You've shut down that option
