Homophobia, lesbophobia, transphobia, and sex shaming – guess whose discourse this is?? (It’s not Judith Butler’s!)
Great Moments in The Discourse 2: Ace Discourse Is Hateful And Irresponsible (TW: homophobia, transmisogyny, lesbophobia, serophobia, cissexism, heterosexism, slurs, hate speech, death threats directed at LGBT folks, wishing gay minors would die, appropriation, straight people shit, sex shaming)
The ace/MOGAI discourse isn’t harmless or a joke. It entitles cishets – straight people – to shout down LGBT folks and shit on people who are actually oppressed by homophobia and transphobia.
You can’t give cishet aces the mic in LGBT discussions without silencing people who are actually LGBT.
how come the same people who tag shit like “tw aphobia” and “tw ace discourse” refuse to tag the q slur and actively tell others to not call their identity, which has a long n violent oppressive history, a slur
Calling outings with friends “platonic dates” and calling wanting to be friends a “squish” literally harms no one. Not even Pat Sajak.
it harms my eyes
Anyway I have a squish on this cute old lady that I’m not interested in romantically because she’s married and you can’t stop me
OK so do you want me to be romantically attracted to this married woman? I am not denying that I am a lesbian and have many same-gender crushes in any way. I am just leaving this one as a squish because I only want to be her friend.
i want u to be quiet
“It hurts no one” meanwhile, acemogais appropiating the q slur for their “qpps”.
Meanwhile, acemogais pushing for the unhealthy splitting and compartmentalization of hoe attraction works which is from where all this
Meanwhile, acemogais pushing for an entire system that validates internalized homo/transphobia, comphet and dysphoria, and doesnt allow young people to understand that their platonic feelings might actually be romantic because its not progressive enough to not validate the issues they have into an identity, which is from where language like qp, “platonic dates” and “squishs” come from.
if aces can be trans, they can be cis. if aces can be gay, they can be straight. aces can be cis and straight. straight and cis people are cishet. cishets aren’t lgbt
the concept of “cishethet” is a load of bullshit. gay aces are still gay if they’re homoromantic asexuals, so why the hell are straight aces not straight for being heteroromantic asexuals?
Some autistic people have depression; the ones who don’t aren’t neurotypical.
yeah, because autism is still a form of neurodivergence. they’re both mental disorders. likewise, people with depression are still allistic, even though they’re neurodivergent
in the same way, asexuality is still a valid orientation. it’s just not inherently lgbt, like how an autistic person who isn’t depressed isn’t part of the community of people with depression just because they’re autistic, an ace person isn’t part of the lgbt community just because they’re ace
