Acephobia in the LGBT+ Community from the documentary (A)sexuality.
It is just…so fucking weird how threatened people feel when it comes to Asexuality. I still can’t wrap my mind around it.
I’m so happy this post is being reblogged by LBGT+ people who aren’t asexual. I keep on reading posts by non-ace LGBT+ people of support to the ace community, and of being stunned by this reaction by a movement which should know better than to judge. AND THAT MAKES THIS ACE SO FREAKING HAPPY. The woman in the first photo expresses my sentiment. I know I belong in the queer/LGBTQIA movement. I want to belong. But I just don’t know if I’m welcome. I’m so happy that there are so many people on Tumblr who do not fall into the catagory of outright refusal of asexuality.
I know not a lot of people understand asexuality. And I know there’s confusion about it, about our experiences, and about how we fit in the movement. But let’s talk about this. Let’s have this conversation.
I mostly don’t delve into the ace tags, but I hear there’s a lot of ace-hate that and I really don’t get it. I don’t understand how asexuality is threatening.
You know what I (as a queer ace-spectrum person) find most threatening? Getting unwanted sexual unwanted advances from both queer and straight people. I’ve gotten them from people of all spectrums and it always makes me profoundly uncomfortable, and often unsafe. It just boggles my mind how people are upset by the concept of asexuality. That’s like getting really mad at someone who isn’t hungry. What’s the point? Just shut up eat your own sandwich. (And stop chewing on me.)
Wow, the fuck the people in those images.
Nobody has the right to disrespect anybody else’s sense of self. It may not be for, you but that does not give you the right to be an asshole.
We really need to push more for LGBTQIA+ to be a standard,instead of just LGBT, especially considering that even the B and T are already invisible in much of the community.
Not supporting some of us = not supporting all of us.
Not supporting some of us = not supporting all of us.
It really, really does bear repeating.
I couldn’t be further from ace, but for serious.
If we’re not in this together, we’re not in this at all.
This makes me so angry. I have friends who are ace, and they are just as much a part of the queer community as I am.
We need to embrace asexuality and treat it with the respect that it deserves.
JAKE: YOU KILLED DIRK AND ROXYS BRO AND MOM RESPECTIVELY! JAKE: OR YOU WILL LATER I THINK AND I CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN! ARANEA: No, no, Jake, that was in another universe! Or, I mean……..

REMEMBER HOW WHEN GAMZEE WAS CUT IN HALF, HIS DUALITY WAS EVEN SHOWN IN THE DIFFERENT FACIAL EXPRESSIONS HE WAS MAKING ON EACH HALF?
DO YOU THINK HUSSIE HAD A REASON FOR DOING THAT?
COS WHAT IF GAMZEE LIKE REGENERATED INTO TWO
AND ONE HALF WAS THE GOOD OLD “yEaH mOtHeRfUcKiN mIrAcLeS bRoThEr :o)” THAT WE ALL LOVE AND THE OTHER WAS THE ASSHOLE “IM GONNA KILL ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKERS” (yes way over exaggerated choice of sentences, i know, i did that on purpose)
LIKE WHAT IF THERE WERE LITERALLY TWO GAMZEES AFTER THAT AND INSTEAD OF LIKE HAVING TO SHARE ONE BODY THE GOOD AND BAD GAMZEE COULD ACTUALLY SEPARATE
lmao this is dumb and im not making sense idfk ignore me
This app tells you your personality by looking at your Tumblr account. You should really check it out. This is my result:
ENTJ PERSONALITY
ENTJs are natural-born leaders. People with this personality type embody the gifts of charisma and confidence, and project authority in a way that draws crowds together behind a common goal. But unlike their Feeling (F) counterpart, ENTJs are characterized by an often ruthless level of rationality, using their drive, determination and sharp minds to achieve whatever end they’ve set for themselves. Perhaps it is best that they make up only three percent of the population, lest they overwhelm the more timid and sensitive personality types that make up much of the rest of the world - but we have ENTJs to thank for many of the businesses and institutions we take for granted every day.
fuckboy was a slur used against gay and trans men but we’ve turned it around to mean shitty cishet white boys who are also coincidentally the enemy in the skeleton war and i think that’s fucking great
FUCKBOY IS NOT NOR HAS IT EVER BEEN A SLUR
FUCKBOY IS A TERM USED IN AAVE (AFRICAN AMERICAN VERNACULAR ENGLISH) TO REFER TO DUDES WHO WERE ASSHOLES
I DON’T WHEN/WHERE/WHY SOME CLUELESS WHITE PERSON DECIDED TO MAKE UP THIS STORY BUT IT IS FUCKING FALSE
Years ago, a Seventeen article saved my life. I learned at 14 that the relationship I was in was abusive. Teen magazines can be amazingly progressive—which is why my youth pastors wanted me to stop reading them, I believe. It’s wonderful to see that they can still be progressive and helpful.
