I know this is going to sound like one of those “typical whiny ace posts” or wtf ever, but I’m sick and tired of people not saying it: Allosexuals are literally the oppressors of asexual individuals. That’s right, I’ll say it again:
Allosexuals are the oppressors of asexuals.
They literally, automatically, have privilege over us because they’re allo. They’re out oppressors. Saying that Allosexuals aren’t the oppressors of asexuals or saying they don’t have privilege over asexuals is exactly like saying that straights don’t oppress the LGBTQIAA+ community. It’s exactly like saying the rich don’t oppress the poor. Whites don’t oppress POC. Men don’t oppress women.
Don’t those statements sound awful? They’re LGBTQIAA+phobic, classist, racist, and sexist. Saying that Allosexuals (ESPECIALLY exclusionists) don’t oppress and hold privilege over asexuals and aromantics is aphobic. It’s just like the examples up there.
It can be hard to admit and understand that you hold privilege over other groups and that you oppress other groups, but one Allosexuals come to terms with that, they can be good allies, inclusionists, and no longer be one of our oppressors.
Like I said, I know that nasty exclusionists and allos are going to turn this post around and try to claim I’m just another whiny ace inclusionist – but it’s the truth.
Bullying asexuals…. LIKE A BOSS!!!!!!! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Anyways straight/cis people don’t inherently oppress LGBT folks
White people dont inherently oppress non white folks
Men don’t inherently oppress women
Notice a pattern?
Can a majority group oppress a minority group? Yeah, absolutely they can. But being in a majority group doesn’t automatically mean you’re oppressive.
