A reminder that this blog supports Asexual Awareness Week, and also trans rights under the Trump administration. Both are important, and aces don’t deserve to have our pride diminished for the (phony) sake of us trans people.
Can asexuals understand that when they are raped, it is because of misogyny???
is this about the asexual survivors who state openly that their attacker said it was to turn them straight?
because. “This will turn you straight” isn’t something a rapist says when it’s just misogyny.
and..sexual assaults caused only by misogyny don’t have male victims.
you dumbasses will literally preach
“SOMETIMES PEOPLE WITH STRAIGHT PRIVILEGE GET ATTACKED FOR NOT HAVING STRAIGHT PRIVILEGE!”
“Sometimes people with straight privilege get attacked by people who want to turn them straight! Corrective assault happens to EVERYONE!”
before you admit the actual cause of these assaults.
because admitting the factual cause of these assaults would:
1. involve admitting rape survivors sometimes tell the truth
and
2. allow society at large to start combating the cause of the assaults.
and you guys Can’t Have That can you.
like. this “IT’S JUST MISOGYNY!” shit has been debunked by actual material studies, showing asexual women are assaulted at higher rates than other women.(x) (While that article merely mentions that asexual rates rival those of bisexuals, and glosses over the discrepancy between the assaults faced by asexual women compared to the rate of the assaults faced by non-ace women, I encourage you to look into the Human Rights Comission’s 2017 study directly.)
but accepting reality just isn’t worth watching those rape statistics drop to you proud pro-rape folks, is it?
hey everyone! i’m hosting a community event and would love your support and signal boost for my fundraiserthis month! all the proceeds go towards directly funding the event and also the nonprofit organizations of: lambda literary, coalition of asian pacific islanders in entertainment, the chinese american museum, and the trevor project!
among the perks are signed books, mentorships– and my pride button series, with all new designs! i usually only sell the buttons at cons, but i’m opening up sales worldwide for a limited time and hoping to build a foundation to create more and more designs too!
tbh i dont think its the same thing, the ‘terotophilia’ thing was about writing fictional scenarios where you wouldn’t have to worry about your gender dysphoria or internalized aphobia and fatphobia or other shitty society things
You never knew how important it was to see yourself reflected on a TV screen. You’ve never felt so heard, seen, validated, and loved. You weren’t imagining your pain; it’s real to others too.
You find a community full of people who have the same broken edges, repairing them together—or realizing they were never broken at all. You find the place you’re supposed to be, and realize that you were already who you were always supposed to be.
