holy shit, i am so fucking disgusted by the anti-asexual mentality in this whole thread. i genuinely do not understand what makes anyone think it's okay to shit all over a minority and then shrug about their discriminatory bullshit for any reason. THIS IS NOT OKAY. i don't give a FUCK who you like to bang, you are NOT excused for ragging on another demographic, no matter what kinds of shitty things a select few of them do or say. you should all be ashamed. check your bullshit at the fucking door, assholes.

[(Anonymous)]

ikr how daaaaaaaare people be upset by the minimizing of rape, slut shaming, homophobia...........

[(Anonymous)]

taking it out on asexuals? not a constructive or coherent way of going about expressing anger.

"tumblr asexuals" as yall are calling them are entirely different monsters from the people you're bashing. keep 'em separate.

[(Anonymous)]

Another asexual here. Please, for the love of god shut your hole.

The occasional odd comment on the internet is nowhere close to discrimination, and for you to compare the two makes you a special kind of dipshit.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

The occasional odd comment can describe what is going on with the secret itself, firstly. Second, asexuals face a lot more than just an "occasional odd comment" against their visibility and acceptance. Don't be fucking dense.

[(Anonymous)]

Have you ever been denied employment due to your asexuality?
Denied housing?
Denied education, both public and private?
Fired from your job?
Denied medical coverage?
Arrested on trumped-up charges for being an asexual in the wrong neighborhood?
Anything similar?

If not, then you need to stop being fucking dense.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes.

Ok, what happened? This oughtta be good.

I know a girl that was pretty much fired due to her asexuality once, actually.

During breaks, everyone would gather up and talk about their sex lives and shit, and she didn't have a problem with it at all, but they had a problem with how she never "contributed" her experiences to their discussions and when she told them she was asexual, they stopped inviting her, and she was eventually fired because "she made the others uncomfortable". And this girl is one of the nicest people I've ever met.

[(Anonymous)]

Another asexual, here.

Calling bullshit. Ten bucks says that wasn't the sole reason she was fired, if she was fired for that reason at all.

[(Anonymous)]

And she sued the fuck out of the company, I guess. Unless you are making this up.

What discriminatory bullshit? Please tell me in what ways the "sexual" are privileged over asexuals.

JFC, I left asexuality and AVEN to get away from shit like this =/

[(Anonymous)]

Personally I left AVEN after one of the mods decided to go into attack-mode for someone daring to say 'That life-philosophy isn't for me, but as long as you aren't forcing it on anyone, then I don't have a problem with it'. : /

[kindlycoyote.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I mean, my old friend was asexual (a toxic friendship that I eventually cut off, but the asexuality bit was not a part of that. Hell, I was the first and for a long time only person she told and who supported her throughout her realization of it, but she still-... sorry, unsolved issues. Stop ranting now.), but it is more something that makes you feel different and makes you have to explain yourself to everyone, and sometimes be seen as a freak, then anything else.

Don't get me wrong, I sympathize like hell. But when I talk to my conservative family about stuff, being asexual is considered fine, whereas if I ever told them I had queer tendencies I would be placed in the pastor's office ASAP. This doesn't mean what I go through is any easier, but it does mean that the outward effects and ways people act toward you are less aggressive when you simply lack the desire for sex vs. want it in some socially frowned upon way (this of course isn't counting asexuals who are also bi or homo romantic.). The biggest issue she complained about was people thinking there was something wrong with her and her roommate/best friend saying 'she just needed to find the right guy', which is fucked up.

All this is to say... She is more likely to not get a job because of her looks or her gender than because of her sexual orientation. Even in the deep south.

The biggest things asexuals have to deal with (from what my friend told me) is ignorance, where the biggest thing people of different races or sexualities/romantic leanings is outright hatred. Hell, gender generally has more hatred attached to it.

[dorknessrising.livejournal.com]

Word to all of this. Hell, I've gotten way more shit for being an overweight girl who reads too much than I've ever gotten for being asexual (with homoromantic leanings, even).

[zombieroadtrip.livejournal.com]

And every anti-asexual "discrimination" I've ever heard up have boiled down to misogyny, homophobia, or some combination of the two. There's no unique way in which the "sexual" are privileged over asexuals. Just by definition alone, "sexual" would include homosexual, bisexual, etc, and "asexual" would include heteromantic people. So yeah, I'm pretty fucking angry that some of these asexuals are spreading nonsensical "privilege checklists" for sexual people, as if anyone in the queer community has their sex approved and encouraged by society.

The biggest issue she complained about was people thinking there was something wrong with her and her roommate/best friend saying 'she just needed to find the right guy', which is fucked up.

Yeah, and queer and straight women go through this too. It's misogyny in action-- finding a man will "fix" a woman, because being single and a woman means you are "broken" in our society.

Hell, I was the first and for a long time only person she told and who supported her throughout her realization of it, but she still-... sorry, unsolved issues. Stop ranting now.), but it is more something that makes you feel different and makes you have to explain yourself to everyone, and sometimes be seen as a freak, then anything else.

See, this is when I start to think people are redefining "oppression" as "anything that causes me inconvenience."

[dorknessrising.livejournal.com]

Pretty much this.

Yes, I've gotten weird looks/dumb questions from people who were totally down with being gay and bisexual, but thought it was odd to not want sex at all. And you know what? Yes. It is odd to not be sexually attracted to people. I don't think there's any harm in admitting that. Normal, yes, but still strange.

TL;DR version: The only group who can ever have "sexual privilege" is straight people. Period. End.

[(Anonymous)]

What kind of logic is this?

Have you not heard of intersectionality? When someone tells a straight woman that she "just needs to find the right guy", that's misogyny. When someone tells a gay woman that, it's misogyny and homophobia. When someone tells an asexual woman that, it's misogyny and anti-asexual sentiment.

Also, what's your point? That because straight and gay women have similar experiences, asexual women should shut up about how their asexuality intersects with their other oppressions and how it affects them? What the hell.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly? Speaking as an asexual, the worst I've seen has come from the LBGTQ group - generally because they [they specific individuals doing it, not the whole group] automatically assume that by mentioning the complete lack of exposure in media/what articles there about asexuals boiling down to 'HEY GUY! Think *you* have a shitty sex life?! Just *look* at these people!" that the person is trying to say 'We have it sooooo much worse than you!' ...even though, as often as not, that isn't what they're saying.

[For reference, *no* asexuals don't have it as bad - but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't be nice to get some info out there either.]
