Really fast, you cannot be "pro aces/aros but only the LGBT ones".
NO, asexual, aromantic, and aroaces are queer.
Full stop.
It doesn't matter if they are also LGBT or not (cis and het)
Even if some are not, they will still face discrimination.
Sure, it's not the exact same discrimination, but it's just a different type.
Aphobia is real, and appears in many forms from:
"Jokes"
Being told they're broken and/or need a cure
The "A" stands for ally
Being told asexuality isn't real
Being told they have HSDD (a condition that's often used against asexuals for their lack of interest in sex)
Being told they're straight with extra steps
Being straight up raped or assaulted and also being subjected to an abusive relationship because of the other person's views on sex (the ace person owes them sex)
Being told they're not oppressed enough
If you're able to support LGBT aces who face this shit, you should also support aces who face this shit who are cis and het.
If you don't you're a part of the problem.
Also let's put this into perspective:
All my life, I thought I was straight.
Last year, I found out I'm asexual. (Here I wouldn't be considered queer enough)
Recently, I found out that I'm actually bi.
Biromantic.
So now all of a sudden, I'm queer enough? Let alone, that there's also biphobia?
Nope. I've always been queer enough.
There shouldn't be an Oppression Olympics.
Aces, aros, and aroaces, you are queer enough.
This year, this pride, we block aphobes on site. Don't engage, just block, we're sick of this bullshittery.
And if they double down and say some mean/cold hearted shit to you/harass you, report them.
You're valid.
You're are queer and here. We are queer and here.
