ion even care im so pressed tonight. anyway, why is asexual awareness day or whatever trending when just yesterday trans people’s rights were threatened, and are probably going to be taken away. And don’t give me that bullshit ‘owo they both need to have a light shed on them’ bc trans people are in fucking imminent danger here and we need support more than ever. For once in yall’s lives can you dig up some compassion and understanding? Call me aphobic all you want, but im sick of trans people being fucking ignored and left to fight for ourselves.
Don’t bother actin a fool, i’ll just block you
Can anyone on Tumblr shut the fuck up about asexuals for five fucking seconds? Can you please do that for me? I know you’re going to fucking assume I’m a cishet or some shit but I’m literally fucking tired of this. Who the fuck cares about a trending hashtag? We, as trans people, are going to lose our fucking rights in the near future and all you can fucking talk about is asexuals? Go to fucking hell and shove this post right up your ass on the way down. You have the fucking gall to gloat like “ooh stay mad” like it’s all some fucking game. I’ve not seen a single post from asexuals or some shit trying to distract from what the Trump administration is trying to push, but you’re so fucking absorbed in bullshit Tumblr politics that you literally cannot resist somehow bringing up asexuals. You’re fucking pathetic. People are going to lose their rights, their mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health are in direct jeopardy because some of us might lose the right to change our bodies so we won’t want to fucking kill ourselves but oh thank fucking god that some loser online is speaking truth to power against the tumblr acey waceys!! This literally insignificant minority of people on a fucking website who happened to have an awareness day or whatever. You’re a fucking joke. Get your fucking shit together. Fuck this post and fuck everyone who reblogged it.
Full fucking offence OP but theres literally NO CORRELATION between ace people celebrating ace awareness week and trump administration threatening trans people’s rights and the fact that you are hiding behind the “Why dont we care about REAL issues!!!1!” to spread your disgusting views about asexuality is fucking DESPICABLE
TRANS ACE people exist and you arent doing them ANY favors by acting like they dont deserve to celebrate and talk about their aceness lol.In fact many of them are using ace awareness week to feel better about at least one part of their marginalized identity and distract themselves against something they cant control and telling them that they are horrible to do so isnt achieving ANYTHING
Its high fucking time yall stop taking out your anger on ace people and blaming them for every single problem in your life bc they are marginalized and can be easily rattled while the cis oppressors are too powerful to be affected by you.
Trump administration isnt gonna take back their decisions regarding trans people if people stopped celebrating ace awareness week so direct your efforts towards things that WILL MATTER and AFFECT this threat on trans people’s human rights instead of attacking marginalized orientations who just want to spend a WEEK without being felt guilty for existing
We will fight for trans people’s human rights AND celebrate ace awareness week.Also its SO funny how you are hiding the notes of ANYONE who is calling you out on your bullshit especially TRANS ACE people.Dont make posts speaking about trans people’s issues if you arent gonna listen to many of them
please have a terrible day week month year OP. you suck. you suck so much. punching on people who are already down. what a turd. what an absolute mess
Ace awareness week was a known date for like a year. It’s not any ace person’s fault the trans story broke at the same time. Also, shockingly, most people are able to care about multiple things at once, and if you’re too flighty to do the same, well, that’s only your fault.
Aphobes and their double standards…
Apparently, asexual awareness week is a distraction from trans issues because we can’t care about multiple things. And yet, here we are with exclusionists complaining about asexual awareness week which, you know, isn’t doing anything about trans issues, it’s just pointing fingers and flapping lips about something entirely unrelated. And apparently that isn’t a problem because exclusionists, the pinnacles of greatness that they are (/s), are able to care about multiple things.
Instead of postulating about how little the “asexies” are doing, how about you worry about how you’re spending your time. If you’re so upset about asexuals wasting their time and not focusing on the issues, how about you stop wasting your time preaching at them and go focus on the issues.
As far as I can tell, going by Internet key word searches, “Asexuality Awareness Week” happens every year in the third week of October. And nationwide Election Days have been happening the first week of November since the 1800s.
Trump is pulling out all the stops of his outrageousness to get his political base excited for voting two weeks from today.
Are you registered to vote? Are you going to vote Blue? I know I am – my application for an absentee ballot got approved today (The first application I mailed out got lost, somehow… I was getting nervous.). I am so ready to do my part and flip the House and Senate.
(See? I’m one of them Asex-you-alls. And I vote. I can be who I am, and care about people who are not me at the same time. Who’d a-thunk it?)
Microaggressions are often represented as little pokes throughout
the day that eventually leave you bruised and tired. In that scenario one micro-aggression
isn’t bad, but a hundred of them are.
But
microaggressions are reminders that there is a force present that threatens your survival. So a single micro-aggression can send your survival instinct into ‘ALERT. THREAT TO SURVIVAL DETECTED’ mode which
sends your whole emotional system into overdrive.
A microaggression is a reminder that you are not safe. That’s why a single microaggression can hit you like a truck.
And sometimes (Depending on how you, personally, are marginalized), the microaggression can be “impersonal,” when the person threatening your survival isn’t even there.
Such as: being a woman in a male dominated field, and having no women’s bathrooms in your workplace. Or being a wheelchair user trying to navigate a city without curb cuts (or even sidewalks), and having to drive your wheelchair on the shoulder of the road.
The person (or people) who decided that you don’t belong in that space may actually be dead by then. But their actions have not lost any of their force.
Just a head’s up, when meat eaters say things like “I’m glad you’re not like most vegans you’re cool about it” what they really mean is “I’m glad you’re silent about animal cruelty so I can eat animals without having to think about it.”
No actually what they likely mean is “I’m glad you’re not like PETA and compare women’s bodies to beef and pork” or “I’m glad you’re not the type of asshole who blames poor people for not being able to afford healthy vegan foods instead of getting upset at the grocery chains who throw out tons and tons of perfectly good produce”
see also: “im glad youre not one of those vegans who compares the meat industry to the holocaust”. anti-semetic, sexist, racist, and classist rhetoric is unfortunately quite common among vegans and it’s disingenuous as hell to act like having an issue with that is silencing vegans.
Also “I’m glad you aren’t one of those vegans who thinks I should put my health on the line”
“I’m glad you don’t harass me over my life choices because you’re a decent fucking human being who realizes that throwing humans under the bus so you can have an ego trip is a shitty thing to do”
Also: I’m glad you’re not one of those vegans who lies about what’s in food they’re feeding me when I ask about my allergens so that I don’t have to risk literally dying
“i’m glad you’re not literally blaming global climate change on me, personally, for liking cheese while corporations dump pollution directly into the ozone by the ton because it saves them a few dollars”
“i’m glad you’re not getting on a moral high horse about animal cruelty while ignoring the human rights abuses that go into farming your vegan faves like quinoa”
THAT LAST ONE
