Since It Seems To Be The Cool Hip Thing For Allos To Hate Aros And/or Aces And Exclude Them From The

Since it seems to be the cool hip thing for allos to hate aros and/or aces and exclude them from the community we belong in, I just want you to know that when you say we “haven’t suffered enough”, you’re telling all asexuals that have faced “corrective” rape that they haven’t suffered

You’re telling that to all asexuals who are told every fucking day that they’ll change their mind someday

You’re telling that to every aromantic kid who had panic attacks when faced with romantic situation and thought it was something that everyone felt because our problems are never spoken of

You’re telling that to every aromantic that grows up in an amatonormatic culture and can’t relate to a bit of it

You’re telling that to every asexual or aromantic who thinks they’re broken and need to be fixed for something that they can’t help

You’re telling that to every asexual or aromantic that doesn’t even realize that their orientation exists because people talk about straight, gay, bi, anything, but theirs doesn’t even exist to others

You’re telling that to every asexual who is called childish and innocent just because of their sexuality

You’re telling that to every aromantic who is called a robot and heartless and cold

You’re telling that to every aroace who watches people cheer when a same-gender couple is in the media and is thinking “well, where am I? When do I get representation?”

You’re telling that to every aroace who only gets representation in robots and villians

You’re telling that to every aromantic or asexual who tries to headcanon a character to fit them that is shot down by people of every sexuality because look! That character looked at someone else once! They can’t possible be like you, you. can’t. have. them.

You’re telling that to every aromantic or asexual who tries to stick up for themselves and is shot down with laughter

You’re telling that to every asexual whose parents don’t believe them, whose friends don’t believe them, to every ace that has no one and tries to find some support in the LGBT+ community and are immediately laughed at and kicked out

You’re telling that to me, and every other person in the aromantic or asexual community full of anxiety and self doubt that wants to cry and throw up at every arophobic or acephobic post they see

Just think about that next time. Okay? Please.
