Acephobia in the lgbt community
Tw: SA and acephobia
I am so sick of people saying asexuals don’t experience discrimination.
It’s not a hard concept to understand. 99% of the population experience sexual attraction. We are a minority and are treated as such.
The amount of trauma I could have avoided if asexuality was treated as important as the other lgbt identities. The amount of “testing my sexuality” I could have avoided if I just heard “hey, youre not broken. You’re just asexual”. Acephobic people minimize those in the community that have experienced corrective assault.
I should be able to go into lgbt spaces and say “ ya know, being ace is hard” without feeling like theres judgement.
I’m panromantic, but I hate the heteroromantic hate. Even if your straight passing, navigating a world filled with sex as an asexual is rough.

Most wholesome "you haven't met the right person yet" when coming out.
So I came out to my mum today and when she said the usual line I was ready to justify myself.
But when she started to explain how she never understood all her other friends were getting in relationships and not understanding why everyone wanted to be so physical with each other . That her only relationship before 18 was because she felt like she ought to.
She accidentally ended up with my dad when she was 20 and she said they just clicked and she couldn't quite explain it.
After a little discussion when I explained that asexuals can be in relationships and a bit more about my experiences.
She said "Then maybe you're like me"
So I think my mum just came out to me tonight as well .
