Reply to comment by snake in Is Ace exclusion against TOS? by mofongo

CW - rape

Ace people are commonly subjected to 'corrective' sexual violence, like other queer folks, is one thing I'd like to point out on the 'are they oppressed similarly to other queer folks'.

There's a bunch of institutional (cultural? Structural?) oppression ace people face in an allosexual society. I'm too exhausted rn to give more examples, but 'the assumption not being sexual is abnormal, and that corrective rape will 'fix' that' is one.

Think of the violence inherant in 'you just need to get laid'.

I don't have the energy to properly address everything here, and I'm running out of spoons to continue in depth, sorry.

In brief - this definition seems trans exclusionary to me, considering trans and GNC people experience corrective rape as well.

Trans people suffer from homophobia - that's a component of transphobia. The perception of trans people as just gay individuals of their assigned gender, and thus treatment as such.

It isn't that you don't have the energy, it's that you're a liar and want to piggyback off of trans issues because you can't think of a single thing that actually consistently happens to ace people that isn't a direct consequence of misogyny.

... I'll admit there's a lot of stuff in my head, but I'm pretty sure none of that stuff is you reading my mind and knowing the content of it

How is being disabled relevant?

Newsflash, I'm trans too. You're reaching so hard I'm worried you'll dislocate your shoulder.

You seemed to be saying I was lying about being exhausted. I was exhausted because I am disabled and one of my symptoms is chronic fatigue.

Nah, I wouldn't go low like that. But that ace people face any real systemic oppression? Mistaken at best, lying at worst.

Not my fault they read into it like that. Aceys tend to do that though~

You called them a liar because they said they were too tired to continue the discussion. It's literally what you said
