(Sorry for this interruptions of regular ieytd posts but I feel like I have to address this)

so glad you used Asexuals as an example for this:D

Yes, it’s true Aces and other not other well known labels haven’t faced as much discrimination as gays, bisexuals or lesbians, it’s still there. I will use asexuality (Which is actually my sexuality) Asexuals, especially with growing up in this generation, have faced a constant pressure of having to be sexualized and even wikapedia has a whole article for discrimination aces people face .

I don’t know if you notice but saying things like that can really hurt people. That’s kinda like saying “I’m anti-racist!” But makes assumptions about a smaller-known race like Native Hawaiian or Alaska natives.

if you don’t support the other less well known labels, then your not an ally. Sorry!

(For all my wonderful aces that may stumble upon this. Know that you are valid and respected! 🖤🩶🤍💜)

You keep calling queer people drama queens, but is it really dramatic to be bothered by people being actively hostile to us and constantly calling us slurs? I very very genuinely don't understand what seems dramatic about that

Maybe you aren't easily bothered by things like that, which is great, you must be very confident, but please realise that constantly hearing that a harmless trait you were born with is wrong for your entire life massively impacts mental health, and as a result, sometimes physical health too. Queer people are bullied, called slurs, sometimes victims of violence and abuse for being queer, and in cases of queer people living with their families sometimes kicked out and become homeless because they came out/got outed.

From an outside perspective I can understand why some people see queer people as dramatic, but when you live this experience it's clear that's not what's happening in the vast majority of cases.

Again, real genuine question, can you please explain why you hold so much disdain for queer people? (without including slurs please)

I have nothing against gay, bi or lesbians; my family is gay.

My issue is with the bullshit labels which have been added in recent years. I have no respect for what some of you identify as and I find the majority of you dramatic and self obsessed. Reading about someone saying how strong asexuals are, for example makes me laugh - they haven't had to fight for centuries like gay people and are just whining drama queens.
