Yeah, and those anti-asexual laws in anti-LGB countries like Iran! Law literally saying "If you had no sex for at least two months, it is death penalty for you". So rapists are saving their lifes there, by making sure everyone have sex every month! /s

They're just making shit up at this point. And most tumblr asexuals aren't asexual. The amount of times I've seen an "asexual" on tumblr I've found a previous post about them gushing about how hot someone they found someone is staggering. But don't worry, with that comes olympic levels of mental gymnastics to explain how a person can be sexually attracted to someone and yet still be asexual. Also a lot of these tumblr "asexual" types are just homophobic. Like complaining that gay men are kissing each other at pride and calling it "asexual oppression" homophobic.

I've seen tumblr 'asexuals' argue that it is possible to both initiate and enjoy sexual intercourse to the point of orgasm and still be 100% asexual. I don't even begin to be able to understand that 'logic.'

It's like "demisexual" in that most people I've seen use it have a very very poor understanding of how sexuality works in other people. Listen to them and you'd think normal people were just down to fuck at the drop of a hat.

This is what annoys me. It's a blatant open door to anyone "declaring" themselves to be "LGBTQIA+2SABCDEFEIEIO" and act like them being told they're not "kuweer" is the same as legal disputes re: my marriage and adoption rights... (honestly, you can tell how legit a movement is by their goals: civil rights and gay rights? Voting, equality under the law, education etc. and marriage, adoption, employment, housing, etc. rights. Trans movement? sex, validation, feelings, cosmetic surgery, off-label drug use etc.)

Real asexuals don't want to be intimate with anyone.

Whenever I see shit like this I roll my eyes. As asexual I can't imagine how someone does it and still keeps the asexual label with no issues. I'm not interested in sex and I'd never initiate it.

These people make it harder for actual asexuals to accept themselves. Speaking from my own experience. Anything related to asexuality is focused on validating so called demisexuals and gray-sexuals even if they are just normal "allosexuals" (aka people who experience sexual attraction).

The whole thread is a hoot. The rest of the missing quote above:

You’ve been brainwashed. You’ve been lied to. If you want to continue fighting this fight, annoyinggayman, I want you to know that you are quickly becoming an enemy of the same group you claim you have unanimous access to. If you continue to insist on talking over survivors you will cease to be safe in any and all survivor spaces, including LGBT+ spaces. You cannot talk over survivors in one breath and then support us in another.

You are trying to paint asexuals as automatically unsafe for LGBT+ spaces, but in reality it is you.

Some more quotes from people...

Your ignorance is not as valuable as my knowledge.

You, as a gay allo person, have nothing to add to the conversation that a gay a-spec person couldn’t provide. If your position is correct, there are plenty of gay a-spec people who will agree with you and argue your position. Nobody benefits from you having a place in that conversation.

Your ignorance is not equal to my knowledge.

No asexual has straight privilege.

"Gay a-spec" translation: "homosexual asexual" or nonexistent

"Your ignorance is not equal to my knowledge"

No, it is far superior to it.

In their own genderspecial communities who hold it as dogma that men are entitled to sex? Yeah, I can believe that people (women) identify as asexual to get out of girldick duty ("awww, of course I'd love to have sex with you, but I'm just not feeling that special connection"), and then get assaulted anyway. Worldwide? Hahahahahaha what.

Actually true, most asexuals in world when pressured, they are mostly pressured because other people thinking they are homosexual and because of that don't want to date anyone, but not because they are asexual. The only country that has something to do with asexuals is China, because they have birth control lists and enforcing with laws to have children or at least to be married. And even in China it is not because they are targeting specifically asexuals, as this affects homosexuals as well.

Anyone else remember when the tumblr aces victim blamed gay men for the AIDS crisis?

Sexual assault oppression olympics is a new fucking low. Do these assholes really want to stand at the top of the podium as the group that’s been raped the most? They can all get in line behind women, anyway.

Is this from Tumblr? Why do we take anything written on Tumblr seriously any more?

In a world where even some of that could be true, why are asexuals assaulted? Do they dress asexually?? Are asexuals in opposite-sex relationships beaten up in the middle of the street when they're asexually holding hands with their partners?

Any other assault is at best correlated with, but definitely not caused by, asexuality. Same-sex couples? Homophobia. Asexual woman saying no to sex on an aggressive advance? Misogyny. Trans-id'ing asexuals? It's cuz yer a man in a dress.

Another post with fake, made-up statistics. No citations, I suppose.

They really be pulling these stats out of their asses huh?!

i'm asexual but this person has taken these statistics out of their ass. Just like that shit with trans people being literally murdered everyday just for being trans. With this logic GNC people should be included in that because they can be mistaken for trans person... but do you hear about GNC people being killed everyday just for existing? I'm GNC and I have never seen death stares lol
