they ARE queer

homophobia is such a ridiculously unfunny accusation to throw around

being queer doesn't mean a thing. you've got plenty of gay ppl very comfortable with saying that asexual or bi people don't matter or count. this community is just as bigoted as anyone else

asexual people are not LGBT by virtue of being asexual.

what do you think the "A" in LGBTQIA stands for?

i think "LGBTQIA" is a bullshit corruption of what was originally supposed to serve the LGBT community
intersex is not inherently queer and neither is asexuality

good thing you don't speak for the whole community then

neither do you.

do you think fascists will distinguish between one asexual and/or intersex person who IDs as queer and one who doesn’t? serious question, will that actually change this person’s experience of oppression?

asexual and intersex are populations that have experienced wildly different forms and levels of discrimination and violence, you absolute fucknut. it's completely disrespectful and bad faith to conflate them like this

seriously wtf is wrong with you if you are asking "what's the difference in a person's experience of oppression between being asexual and intersex"?

let's start with how asexuals' bodies have not been subjected to decades long history of involuntary surgical intervention from the moment they're born, WHICH IS THE VIOLENCE THAT MARKS THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF INTERSEXUALITY

i agree with you that their experiences are not the same. my point was that fascists don’t care about these distinctions except insofar as one group requires overt medical intervention to force into compliance, and the other doesn’t. the goal is still control and conformity and compliance and, if those options don’t work, eradication.

gatekeeping like this about who does or doesn’t belong under the LGBT umbrella, or nitpicking over whether to use LGBT or LGBTQIA or whatever, only helps one group of people, and it’s fascists.

"fascists don't care and therefore we should all comport ourselves with the way fascists want to frame the world even if it means claiming that apples and oranges are all the same thing"

okay jan

this shit was invented by people trying to find any reason they can to be allowed participate in the oppression olympics

unpopular opinion but +1

asexual people are not necessarily LGBT just like childfree people are not necessarily LGBT

there may be some overlap between two groups (some childfree people also happen to be LGBT, for example) but that does not mean that the venn diagram is a circle or that being one = being the other

this opinion is not unpopular on wankgate

too bad it's still unpopular off wankgate
