Asexuals And Aromantics Are An Important Part Of The Community.

I agree with the labels not being contradictory towards whatever orientation you may be yet I have to add

heteromantics are queer and thus LGBTQ+.

You don't have to like the same gender to be queer you just don't follow amatonormativity and/or heteronormativity. Let me add, this is typically not by choice like how asexuals and aromantics don't have a choice in not feeling attraction.

They have a different experience than that of heterosexuals. You may not notice, as I am going to assume that you are an allosexual/romantic by your word choice, but this world is heavily sex and romance crazed.

I am an aroace demiboy and you won't believe how hard it is to live in a society like this. We do face oppression like you as well, I'm not going to argue which is worse homophobia or aphobia because oppression isn't a contest but we do have to face discrimination as well.

Not just corrective rape and conversion 'therapy', but some doctors even put ace patients off of meds if found to lower their libido. There is nothing wrong with feeling no sexual and/or romantic attraction yet we feel broken for years. When we hear the terms asexual or aromantic we realize there is nothing wrong with us afterall.

You have to remember that this community was made to protect everyone thrown out by the amato/heteronormative society. Asexuals and aromantics experience oppression and need support just like everyone else in the LGBT+ community. Instead of infighting and saying who gets to be allowed in or not lets actually fight discrimination.

Asexuals and Aromantics are an important part of the community.

Is this person trying to say that being ace or aro makes you less of your sexual orientation…? This is just,,, so silly. A gay ace or a gay aro isn’t “basically” gay, they are gay.

Being gay doesn’t make you any less ace and being ace doesn’t make you any less gay. They aren’t contradictory! Same goes for every other sexual orientation and with being aro

Can we please stop with the “being bi is liking all women and three men” stereotypes? You guys try so hard to emphasize that bisexuality isn’t JUST 50/50 but create posts that are just as harmful. As a bisexual who prefers guys, seeing posts like that makes me doubt my sexuality and sends me down another loop of “what if I’m straight and I’m faking it for attention”. Altough I usually come back to bi, the period of questioning because of an instagram post is really stressful for me, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels like this.

I’d like to anonymously coin the term Hydrangeaflux, it’s definition is: Having multiple masculine, masculine aligned, and or nonaligned genders all at once but how prevalent each one is fluctuates! I also made a flag for it! Which I'll submit in a second but if you have any suggestions about changes to make to it (especially if it looks too much like another flag!) that's cool ^w^

No, because a sandwitch is bread on top- meat- condiments- bread on bottom, not bread on side- pig guts- bread on side.

The only real discourse that we should be having in the LGBTQ+ community is whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich.

So I post this to interupt your scroll through the discourse tags with an actually important question:

Is a hotdog a sandwich?

Just in case any of you were wondering what an m-spec lesbian was

what’s an mspec lesbian

I'm glad you asked,dear anon. An m-spec lesbian is any sapphic that identifies with both an m-spec label and the lesbian label. (M-spec means multispectrum,so any orientation attracted to more than one gender.) So they may be romantically attracted to multiple genders,but sexually attracted to women and feminine genders. Or they are attracted to all genders excluding men. They could be reclaiming the label lesbian, as it used mean any woman who had relationships with women,no matter the sexuality. This ended in the lesbian separatist movement of th 1970's. Finally, you have those that use it to show they prioritize their attraction to women, for whatever reason.

Honestly I think the exclusion of cis heterosexual aromantic people and cis heteroromantic asexual people gives off biphobic vibes

A biphobic argument for why bi people should be excluded (drop the B) is that we’re “basically straight”, “half straight”, “spicy straight” or “straight passing”, especially if we are binary people who prefer (or have exclusively dated) the other binary gender. The argument ignores that our sexuality is complete as it is and not half or part of something else and the struggles we specifically face for being bi and not straight (or gay).

And then I then turn around and see asexual and aromantic people having their complete orientation and specific struggles erased because they’re “basically straight”, “half straight”, “special straight” or “straight passing”... especially when many aros and aces mistook their orientation for bi or pan because they felt the same about everyone? That doesn’t sit right with me! At all!

Bi (or omni/pan/ply/abro/etc) and a-spec people what do you think about this?? I personally think we need to work on some fucking solidarity because this erasure of our sexualities isn’t okay, we have so much in common and sometimes have thought we are the other orientation or we’re a mix of both.

Don’t clown on this post if you’re a biphobe or aphobe, learn better
