(Anonymous) 2013-03-19 12:14 am (UTC)(link)Am I lucky? Sure I guess, but most people in my community are like that. I'm not some crazy exception. What makes my life so much worse than someone who's asexual? Why do I get the right to complain and cry oppression for something that's barely ever affected me but if someone else suffers constant ridicule and feels left out of a huge chunk of society because of their sexual orientation then they should just shut up and deal with it? Just because they don't fit on to some approved list of 'oppressed minorities'?
If shitty things happen to you they're shitty regardless of the categories you fit in to.
I'm not saying homophobia isn't a huge problem, but it's an incredibly complex issue and you can't just reduce it to: LGBT? Oh you poor thing nobody has suffered more than you. Anything else? Fuck you your life is great stop whining.

And yes, it's personal and varies from situation to situation. But that doesn't change the facts of the matter. The chances that someone who tells another that they're asexual will get beaten to hell and back by close-minded idiots are a hell of a lot slimmer than if a gay person does it. It's a difference in kind and in degree.
Being ridiculed for who you do or don't shag is shitty. But calling it oppression cuz some asshat fires off 10 rapid questions when you tell them you're asexual? That's going far and slights groups that actually are oppressed by society and the government.
