Fauci doesn't give a fuck about you. He didn't give a fuck about AIDS until public perception shifted with ACT UP and other grassroots direct, disruptive action. He cared more about optics than people's lives. Read "An Open Letter To Dr. Anthony Fauci"

If you can get the standard xlear spray that contains grapefruit seed extract that's your best bet because the grapeseed helps too. Here are studies for anyone interested

“Can someone truly be heterosexual?” Would you ask that? Then don’t use asexual! 😒 This is gross @EverydayHealth , you’re invalidating my sexual orientation and spreading misinformation to your readers. That’s not what asexual means, plz do your basic research before you publish!

not a fan of @EverydayHealth using my identity as clickbait for a snapchat article about sex drive dysfunction? one sentence saying that some people ‘never desire sex’ does not justify the use of this term, also the validity of my orientation is not up for debate thanks

It made it that much easier for people to accept. It made it that much easier for people to ignore because the “vulnerable people” who you were supposed to protect never really had a public image. Never really had a public face.

Another example of a T*RF engaging in acephobia. This person is also ableist, eugenist, & pronatalist who says things like “the smart & stable men and women aren't breeding enough to have a healthy, stable, civilisation”. Compulsory sexuality -> pronatalism. Don’t amplify this!

It was something mentioned, but as a vague “vulnerable people”. The general public couldn’t see, couldn’t identify with “vulnerable people”. Media is powerful. Repetition is powerful. Imagery is powerful. Stories are powerful.

…I am terrified of covid and I’ve been since 2020 because I’m immunocompromised and it could kill me. Everyone should be terrified of covid. If that was the case maybe things would be different right now. Fear of a deadly & disabling disease is not unreasonable.

This. We’re not terrified of covid, we just don’t want it. Just like we protect ourselves from lots of other things. Still wearing seatbelts, still washing hands after prepping raw chicken, still wearing a mask to prevent covid. It’s not difficult to understand is it?

Was not expecting so much attention on this post. I want to add is that this is unfortunately nothing new. The acephobia to transphobia pipeline has been discussed for many years. "Ace discourse" has been used to radicalize people (by @AcesArosEnbies )

This is an essential article by Sherronda J. Brown @SherrondaJBrown discussing this at length, including the disturbing trend of acephobic conspiracy theories which have transphobic and fascist roots. Cannot recommend enough that you read this.

i covered the asexual pipeline conspiracy theory for @prismreports . as asexuality receives more recognition as a queer identity, it also becomes a bigger target.

How far we have gone where today, just being acknowledged by the general public that “We’re still here! We’re still alive!” feels radical (it’s the bare minimum).

Queer disabled people have been calling out the queer community for its complicity in Covid eugenics for a long time. It’s infuriating given the community’s history. But again, the queer community is deeply ableist.

I can’t really take the conversations about the tone people use to talk about Covid seriously when folks have been desperately trying to get others to care and mask for 4 years, mask bans are accelerating and another airborne + potentially much deadlier pandemic is looming.

Whether it's the previous backlashes to Yasmin Benoit's advocacy, the backlash to Girlguiding's Ace Week post, the backlash to Maia Kobabe's feature in TIME, and more, there are no shortage of incidents in which the same right-wing transphobes were outraged about asexuality.

This is so fucked up. “Broadbent, a nationally celebrated HIV/AIDS activist, spent the last years of her life unhoused and sick. The very services she advocated for were not accessible to her...As people speak of her legacy, they ignore her reality.”
