Just… wow
People are so disgusting to asexuals
I never knew it was that goddamned bad wow
This… this terrible article is so awful in general, but it’s so bad because the commenters agree with the writer.
People commenting and treating women like pieces of meat and how ace women who won’t “put-out” in a relationship are considered cockteases.
But the worst part about is a ton of the commenters are ADVOCATING FORCED SEX AGAINST ASEXUALS TO “FIX” THEM, BECAUSE ALL THEY NEED IS TO BE “FUCKED RIGHT”.
I just
I can’t
I fucking can’t anymore
this is really really sickening and i at once don’t want to have this anywhere near my blog but also it’s important
like wow look why intersectionality is important, look at how rape culture and heterosexism and sexism all come together in this one spectacularly awful post
look how erasure starts to bleed from not just ace erasure to all queer erasure to denial of rape and victim blaming
…Y’know, I’ve known a few people who consider that my asexuality doesn’t get me discrimination, judgement or hate speak. Because apparently, who cares about how much sex I’m not getting? I’m not considered abnormal or wrong or sick like homosexuals, bisexuals or pansexuals because not-having-sex? Who cares?
It’s bad enough when I have to explain that there is discrimination against people who don’t feel sexual attraction EVERYWHERE. It’s bad enough having to point out every TV show, movie, book and piece of advertising that caters specifically to people who sexualise everything and pointing out how I’m left on the outside of that. Who I am is completely ignored by the mainstream … and, frankly, everyone else.
But then I read this, and I know for sure - this is how people out there really see me. Because I want a relationship but do not feel sexual attraction, THIS is how people see me. A cocktease. A frigid bitch. Someone damaged. Someone selfish enough to keep someone who wants a sexual relationship out of one if they choose to be with me based on who I am and how I express love.
Comments about how I must have been sexually abused (as a child or otherwise), comments about how ‘how do you know if you haven’t tried?’ and being told I just did it wrong when I explain that I have tried, comments about how I should see a doctor because maybe it’s depression or hormone deficiency … that’s bad enough. But to be vilified like this? To have this level of hate speech directed at my sexuality?
The next person who tells me that I don’t need the kind of support that the LGBT community does because I don’t get that kind of abuse is getting the lecture of ALL TIME.
I was appalled by what I read in that “article”, if I can even call it that. The person who wrote that just … there are no words I can use to fully convey the level of disgust I had regarding the conclusions the person was making based off what the girl was saying. How do you even come to those conclusions? Does compassion or empathy even exist in that person’s vocabulary?
Just, ugh!
I guess narrow-mindedness comes in new ways I never thought possible before.

Queer (French version for Projet 17 mai)
I’m so excited that I can finally share my new comic with you guys! Many, many thanks to Dwam for correcting my original (hilariously bad) translation and turning it into something readable in French.
Projet 17 mai contacted me several months ago about creating a comic on the theme of homophobia, and though it is definitely something I’ve experienced (being denied service in shops, having people throw garbage, being followed by howling gangs of men, etc. just for holding my girlfriend’s hand), I actually have been more hurt and upset by the biphobia I’ve experienced from the LGBT “community” for falling in love with and marrying a cisgender man. Even bisexuals have been needlessly mean because I feel the term “queer” is a better fit for me instead of “bi” (it’s totally cool if “bisexual” is the term that works for you!! It’s just not the one for me).
Basically, the Identity Police have been very hurtful to me (and others who are attracted to multiple genders), so that’s what I did my comic on.If you can read French, go ahead and read the whole comic, or wait another couple days for me to get the English version uploaded on my site.
1. This is a great comic. I’ve followed Erika’s struggles with rabid identity police and it’s always been frustrating to hear about. Everything she says here, I wholeheartedly support.
2. OMG, I remember enough French to read and understand this whole comic! Wow.
I always strikes me as very insulting when I see someone on tumblr send someone an ask like “What sexual orientation are you?” the person responds “I don’t like labels, I’m just attracted to ___________” then the person responds “Oh well that means you’re this and this and this.”
It’s like… They just told you they don’t want a label, why do you insist on making them wear your sorting hat? There are so many overlaps and grey areas these divisions are things you really have to decide for yourself. If somebody says “yeah, it doesn’t matter, I don’t like that title”, don’t try to assign them a batch of flags to fly.
I would join you in the tree.I would climb a tree and cry…
i hope it’s a big tree because I’d be up there too
I would be standing on the ground among my crustacean army shouting “GO FORTH, MY BROTHERS! LET US BEGIN OUR DARK WORK!”
Hahaha, this is pretty awesome. Crabs are really cool animals.
Ugh they’re like the cicadas we get here.
ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB DINNER! Er…those are edible ones right? *ponders*
It’s the annual migration of the Red Crabs on Christmas Island. Apparently it is frowned upon by the local government to eat the crabs as they skitters from the forest to the beaches to spawn.
