ggod why do some aces feel the need to “come out” out as asexual,, literally the only person who needs to know that is your (potential) partner

hey who here is ace because i sure am 

i’m ace and have no potential partners because i’m also aro! and 15! stop sexualising my identity OP!

asexuality is LITERALLY just about sex I’m yellign

sexual attraction =/= sex, c’mon it’s like the most basic shit here why are y’all so purposefully ignorant

“i am not attracted to anyone” is not TMI and fuck you if you think it is

it’s
it’s literally right there in the word
SEXual attraction
words have no meaning anymore I guess

And I wasn’t talking about that btw, I meant that I really don’t need to know your personal relationship with sex lmao

one could say the same thing about any other word with the -sexual suffix but thatd be wildly inaccurate, am i right

Yeah, the -sexual suffix has to do with gender. ‘sexus’ is the latin word for gender. But sexual attraction is literally about… sexual attraction. Didn’t y'all come up with the sexual and romantic attraction split?

i’m asexual and I don’t use the split attraction model

I”m fucking dying “Asexuality is all about sex! Because the word sexual is in it!”
“What about these other identities using ‘-sexual’?”
“Oh, that only refers to gender. And anyway sexual attraction is about sexual attraction. Which, of course, is all about sex.”

…? The fucking dissonance here lmfao

And… the split attraction model did not originate with aces. (Maybe the term, but I genuinely don’t know.) But it was Heinrich Ulrich who came up with the concept initially

acephobes over here literally sexualizing minors and defending it by saying that the minor’s identities are just about sex.

i’m sorry but if you think a minor’s identity is centered entirely around sex. that’s. really fucking gross.

and then the acephobe tries to explain that the minor’s identity *must* be just about sex because the word “sex” is in it.

and then. manages to acknowledge that they only believe “sex” being in an identity’s name makes it sexual in the case of asexuality. like just blatantly puts their lack of solid reasoning on proud display.

Um, hi, English Major here (and asexual community supporter, I’d like to notify @aphobic-absol that their arguments are based on linguistic matters that they obviously don’t understand.

While you’re correct in that ‘sexual’ in LGBQAP (I’m not including the T, I, or non-binary identities because they are about Gender, and gender is wholly different) identities references sexual attraction within the suffix; however, if you had any understanding on how affixes worked, you would know that the placement of the prefix ‘a’ in front of a word immediately negates the original meaning and flips it to the opposite or antonymic meaning of the original word.

When it comes to sexual identities within the LGBQAP, each has a prefix that specifies their orientation.

Homo = same
Homosexual literally means same sexual, as in people who are same sex attracted.

Bi = two
Bisexual literally means two sexual (although the accepted definition of this is different within the community itself and should be taken as the correct definition over that of linguistics because language serves the user, not the other way around)

Pan = All
Pansexual literally means all sexual and encompasses the full spectrum of gender when it comes to attraction (this does not mean that preference plays a part in that attraction, pansexuals are not walking rape targets or rapists)

Poly = many
Polysexual means many sexual, and thus encompasses most of the gender spectrum (again, like Bi and Pan, poly people have preferences, just because their poly doesn’t mean they like you.)

And,

A = not; also knows as an antonymic definition
Wherein the A IS the identity that Aces use because it literally means not-sexual.


This has been a PSA; and aphobes? Get fucked with your stupid ass arguments, you will get your asses kicked by decent human beings who don’t tolerate your idiocy. The LGBTQIAP+ community is about inclusion and protection, if you’re not a part of that movement, I believe the WestBro Baptist Church might have a placement for you somewhere.
