Yeah,

Screenshots of statistical studies about how aces are as likely to be suicidal as gay or bi people, and twice as likely as straight people because of their asexuality. Screenshots of statistical studies showing that  A-spec trans people face significantly higher levels of homelessness, and eviction than any other demographic of trans people. Screenshots of how A-spec people experience some of the highest statistics for corrective rape of any marginalized community . Screenshots of aphobes bullying, harassing, sending rape and death threats to ace people,and wishing horrible things to happen to ace people because they are ace  Screenshots of posts about how In 2015 Russia took away the rights of asexual, binary trans people, and many groups of nonbinary trans people, to have driver’s licenses. Screenshots of how many religions dont support asexuaity Screenshots of people opening up about how they were sent for conversion therapy,abused and harassed both by other people and their families for being asexual  and being hated after coming out as asexual Screenshots of studies and articles about ace people being raped for being ace Screenshots of aphobes Repeatedly misgendering and mislabeling people  , calling asexual people nazis  ,telling suicidal ace people to stop whining  , saying that asexuality shouldnt be taught in schools  . Screenshots of asexual people receiving rape threats to “fix”  them and actually being raped to be fixed Screenshots of asexuality  being  pathologized and not being considered real by straight people.

Its so easy to brush away aphobia as “Cringey aces being dramatic on the internet on no reason lololol “ when you see “true” oppression as “people being killed for their identity” and not the numerous ways society makes marginalized community feel that they are broken,wrong and are disgusting for existing and dont belong among the society.This includes harassment on the internet too because the people harassing ace people for being ace on the internet are real people too.

Genocide is the last stage of oppression for an identity and the fact that you think that bigotry against some identity has to reach the stage where the people of that identity are being killed for them to be “truly oppressed” then you are a despicable person and have no idea how resistance and social justice work.
