hey the post about demisexuality doesn't have a very good understanding of what it is. while i agree that demisexuals (and other ace/aro people) are not lgbt (but are lgbtqia), they aren't just people that "only want to have sex with people they have an emotional connection with." demisexuals are people who are physically unable to feel sexual attraction for months or even years of being with someone. they are not like allo people that feel attraction but dont act on it until they know someone
and while i think that calling demi people "systemically oppressed" would be an exaggeration, they do face a lot of problems when trying to establish relationships and are certainly met with a lack of understanding and a good deal of emotional abuse. basically, what i'm saying is that someone who doesn't want to "have sex with strangers" is not demi, and cis girls who want emotional connection first are not demi. and demi people are not lgbt but do face a lot of oppression and misunderstanding
Hey, thanks for the info. Im not going to open up a debate or Discourse on this even though I have some stuff I’d ordinarily say but if anyone wants to add to this then please go ahead. I’m only reblogging it from what I’ve researched in the past about it from a demisexuality, so perhaps that information wasn’t entirely as accurate as it could have been. I do think it’s important to note that although that post may have been inaccurate we’re still trying to have a conversation about LGBT spaces being co-opted by people who aren’t LGBT (I’m not saying this of demisexuals or anything, just making a wider comment about an over-all problem) etc. Thanks for the reply and taking the time for your explanation though :’)
