@justmeandsteve , let me try and understand what you're saying here, "for clarity":
What on Earth do you mean by "in the system," in this context? Visibility? If you do mean "visibility," you're literally blaming Out LGBT people for our own oppression -- it's also saying that you literally want asexuals to have systemic oppression, you know that, right?
I mean, if aces only lack systemic oppression because, in your words, you "aren't even in the system yet," and in context, you seem to be implying "in the system" as another way of saying "visibility," then you're saying that you actually want asexuals to be more visible cos then you'll get to be oppressed.
You've literally admitted that you actually WANT TO be oppressed.
Plus: that's not how oppression even works. If you're oppressed, it happens whether it's a visible oppression or not.
I have mental illness and chronic pain. These are what's called "invisible disabilities," because unless you know what to look for, you'd probably never guess to look at me that I'm disabled. These disabilities are still an axis of oppression, whether people can tell I'm disabled or not.
Visibility doesn't make people oppressed.
