I've touched on this topic before, but have never made a full issue on it. And for good reason: it's terrible. But it exists, and needs to be known, dragging it out so people know what it looks like.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRexeE4zfPG
Even an off-hand comment can be acephobic. A lot of people probably are without meaning it. But it beats me with a hammer over the head, so I'm going to be posting about it. Feel free to skip this issue if you feel uncomfortable, I don't blame you.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUyzTRJOVU
Here's my list of favorite things about acephobia:
"Asexuals, bisexuals, and pansexuals all have a closet to come out of. Except it’s less of a closet and more like the wardrobe to Narnia.
‘Cause when they come out, no one believes them or the things they experienced."
“If you’re a straight ace, then –”
“Heteroromantic aces and heterosexual aros are straight”334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRmhMw5uhz
"But here's the thing. cishet aces don't experience the same discrimination as people who fall under the umbrella. That's like saying that all infertile women should also. Just because people want you to have sex and babies doesn't mean you could get beat in the street just for walking down it or being on a date. It doesn't mean that you could lose jobs or friends. Your family isn't going to kick you out for it. So no, you don't need our safe spaces and saying you do demeans why we need them."334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLJ611j1q1
“Straight is the default so without a sexuality you are straight.”334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtfl1juavJ
These are just on Tumblr. Here, have another beauty, one of the prettiest from one of the most left-wing sites I know:
"Acephobia doesn’t exist. Its misdirected homophobia. Asexuals don’t belong in lgbt spaces. There in no common ground between asexual people and the lgbt community.
Acephobia rhetoric in grounded in homophobia and denial of straight privilege."334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFETTx4roE
Can you believe it? I'm not allowed to be myself! If I am, I am told I don't exist. This is what acephobia looks like. If you see it, please help stop it. For me. For the closeted ace who cries because they are in danger. For the ace who loves themself and is mocked for it. Stop it. Stop the hate. We are real. And we will not put up with this.
