If asexuals were actually “just straight”…

a-acethetics:

  • If aces were “just straight” I wouldn’t need to come out to my parents
  • If aces were “just straight” I wouldn’t need to come out to anybody, actually…
  • If aces were “just straight” I would be able to just say “I’m going to aces’ meetup” without need to explain why, what, etc.
  • If aces were “just straight” I wouldn’t be closeted… there wouldn’t be so many closeted aces…
  • If aces were “just straight” I wouldn’t be told by my friend that aces are “sick” and “unnatural”
  • If aces were “just straight” I wouldn’t be considered as not-straight (and as LGBTQIAP+, btw) by literally every person in my offline life
  • If aces were “just straight” aces wouldn’t get told to “go check it” by family and friends
  • If aces were “just straight” aces wouldn’t be told they need to be fixed
  • If aces were “just straight” there wouldn’t so many people trying to find how to “cure” aces
  • If aces were “just straight” asexuality wouldn’t be called a “problem”
  • If aces were “just straight” there wouldn’t be “corrective therapy” for aces
  • If aces were “just straight” aces wouldn’t be raped as an attempt to “cure” them
  • If aces were “just straight” the option of “not being attracted to others” would be mentioned years ago during sex ed. but it isn’t mentioned, even now
  • If aces were “just straight” aces wouldn’t be dehumanized for being ace

If aces were “just straight”… they would be straights, not asexuals.

Telling them 60% of the time they actually lose interest and get them to stop, plus I’ve had bad experiences as a child about it. Just because you think it’s tmi doesn’t mean you should be a dick to a kid about it buddy, you don’t know if they had horrible past experiences with it or something else. Learn about them WITHOUT being a dick.
  3. movedtoworking-anxiety said: Ace means they’re not interested in sexual intercourse, aka the ACTIONS of sex? Like do y'all get what asexual is. It’s literally a scientific term too, it means no sex. As in… “Amoebas are single celled, —> ASEXUAL DON’T RELY ON SEX NOR NEED IT <— to reproduce.”
