The insistence of Demisexuality as being "just normal" reflects how so many people misunderstand queerness and asexuality. To them, anything outside of heteronormative and amatonormative ideals pushes them out of their comfort zone. It challenges them to look otuside themselves.

A friendly reminder that Andrew Wakefield started the mass-media "vaccines cause autism" scare to profit off of court cases and SELL HIS OWN VACCINE. Go watch HBomberGuy's video on this.

Vaccines do not cause autism, Covid is real, nurses deserve to get fired if they don’t grasp that.

Gatekeeping of queerness or queer identities doesn't help anyone, and only hurts and weakens the LGBTQ2IA+ community. 🧵1/6

In the end, it comes down to one question: How do you see queerness? As something nuanced and expansive, which is outside the confines of heteronormative sexuality? Or a conservative club defined strictly by who you have sex with? Far too many insist it must be the latter. (6/6)

Sex-Repulsed Aces in my experience tend to get at least erased (and at worst outright shunned) in the ace/aro discourse, as others in the community rush to prove to allosexuals that yes, we can have sex and therefore be normal, just like you. We have to do better than that.

The asexual community needs to stop treating sex-repulsed aces as lepers. For real. 🧵

I'm sick of the "There are more Aces than people in Denmark! Let's take over the country and make it an Asexual utopial!" meme. You'd think we could do a lot more for queer liberation with 75 million people worldwide, than just commit another act of settler violence.

It's at this point that I remember that some people don't want liberation; they want an idealized version of the status quo which maintains their privilege. It's those people who'll have to wake up to the fact that yes, we really are all in this together. 6/6

Many ace and aro Christians experience compulsory sexuality as an intricate part of conservative Christian theology. Any early praise of aces and aros over their lack of sexual interest is quickly replaced with the demand that they unconditionally owe their marriage partners sex.

My mentions are wild right now. Christians discussing sex as a duty of marriage…? Nothing dries my ovaries up faster than the idea that my husband should view sex with me as a DUTY. Oh heck no. That sounds like ZERO FUN. My vows contain nothing about this. 💀

On a large scale, the restrictive authoritarian norms acting against both bi/pan and ace/aro people are deeply woven into white supremacy, colonialism, and capitalism. These norms oppose queerness and the desire to lead an authentic life. All in the pursuit of control. 9/9

Saying that people not wanting kids is "a defect" or "unnatural" has to stop. It devalues and dehumanizes others' reproductive decisions and ignores others' right to autonomy over their own bodies. It simply has to stop.

It enables an authoritarian and power-seeking "other" to place themselves on a judgement seat, to determine if *you* are or aren't "queer enough" to enter their mental space, regardless of your lived experience. 4/6

Advocating for ace and aro people also means embracing intersectionality. It inherently means also speaking out and acting against racism, classism, biphobia and transphobia, and all of the other forms of prejudice that seek to marginalize and exclude others.

Not much else I can or want to say about this whole row with Brianna Wu, except that if someone is going to start the "oppression olympics" discourse in a conversation, it's a sign that nine times out of ten they're asking in bad faith.

Exclusionists and aphobes start from the assumption that compulsory sexuality, monosexism and amatonormativity is the healthy default. They assume all demi and all aspec folks base their identities from here. But this is false. (2/6)
