Because I’m ace, my parents are trying to get me to change my medication so that I will experience sexual attraction. 

Because I’m aroace, my mother is asking her friends where she went wrong and how to fix me.

Because I’m aroace, my mother is constantly trying to force me to date men. She will talk about men she’s met, try to force me to date literally anyone she thinks is mildly attractive, and inviting strangers to our house in hopes I’ll be attracted in some way. The last one turned out to have a criminal record.

Look, I’m not saying that these experiences are worse than anyone elses. I’m not trying to talk over anyone. I’ve just seen so many people say that no one experiences oppression for being ace. I’m not sure i’d label all this as oppression, per say, but it is traumatic and is due to me being aroace. 

I’ve never wanted to date and my parents were fine with that. It was only after I told them I was aroace did I get this treatment. It’s because I’m aroace. My mom has told me that she literally wishes I wasn’t aroace. Using the words “aromantic” and “asexual” specifically. I can hear her pray sometimes and she asks god to fix me. But yeah sure it’s JUST misogyny. :/

don’t you just love how people like that person who replied to you know what you went thru better than you do? how instead of listening they come up with reasons you’re obviously interpreting what you’ve been thru wrong?

Sorry you have to deal with that shit OP

   Oh! I see! I was more talking about the discourse of whether or not aces actually face trauma for being ace. Sorry for...
