Acephobia fucking exists part 3
I find it interesting how a lot of these comments in this part are literally advocating for conversion therapy of asexuals, see us as people that can be āfixedā with the right amount of ātherapyā and the ācorrect psychologistā. Straight people donāt think weāre straight, or normal. Honestly a lot of them hate us.
This is something I talked about earlier, how there are plenty of types of aphobia, and this type is the one we tend to face on a regular basis. Literal sexual harassment and conversion therapy.
But sure, aphobia isnāt real alright.
Jesus this is scary
Itās funny that they want to paint us as an āabnormalā tiny little minority. Asexuals are estimated to make up 1% of the worlds population. To put that into perspective the entire population of Australia is estimated at 0.33% of the worlds population. So the amount of people youāre discarding is the same as the entire population of Australia three times over. But sure weāre tiny, abnormal and irrelevant.Ā
so, everyone who wants to throw aro and ace people out of the LGBTQIA community: please take a moment to notice how the intolerance here doesnāt just look the same as intolerance against other marginalized sexualities and gender identities, it doesnāt just use the same words and tone and tactics, itās explicitly linked by several of these people. theyāre saying they think asexual people are āsickā in the same way trans people are. maybe think about that before you go on another āyouāre not oppressed like we are and donāt belong hereā tirade.
Okay maybe I was wrong. Maybe aphobia is a thing.
It really is, a lot more than most non-ace people realize
š¶ This is just a tiny fraction of the shit we faceā¦š¶
Please note the psychiatrist saying that asexuality isnāt REAL and can be cured.
A year or so ago when there was talk of some drug being released that was supposed to up a womanās libido but had horrible side effects I had FRANTIC young ace people messaging me because their parents were pushing them to take it..
There is absolutely a systemic oppression of ace people.
