#Asexual people have always existed. But in a world obsessed with sex, their existence gets continually erased — sometimes through silence, sometimes through mockery, and sometimes through loud and proud ignorance.

Headline: "Spokane City Council Moves to Affirm LGBTQ+ Rights Amid Federal Rollbacks"

Source: @kxly4news

From the article: "SPOKANE, Wash. -- As the federal government rolls back LGBTQ+ protections, the Spokane City Council is taking steps to further safeguard the rights of the local LGBTQ+ community.

"During Monday's agenda review meeting, councilmembers debated an ordinance, proposed by Councilmember Paul Dillon, which aims to affirm the LGBTQ+ community's already existing rights.

"Dillon's proposals include affirming the right to seek gender-affirming care and maintaining an LGBTQ+ liaison officer within the Spokane Police Department to collaborate with the community."

From the article: "In recent weeks, academics who focus on improving the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Americans have been subjected to waves of grant cancellations from the National Institutes of Health. More than 270 grants totaling at least $125 million of unspent funds have been eliminated, though the true sum is likely much greater, researchers told NBC News. "

Anyone who calls the International #Asexuality Day a "fake oppression day" has NO idea what the fuck they’re talking about. It’s embarrassing.

And SMUG those weirdos are. "lol you're not murdered in the streets so it doesn't count". 🙄

It would be funny, if it weren’t so sad. We just want to tell the world it's OKAY to be #asexual, to educate people.

Discrimination is still real tho, I just cited scientific data. I guess that doesn’t count either then? 🤡

Weirdos.

Image: Man with tousled blue hair Quote: I began believing we’d get clear of the city when Tomo screamed, “Jinja-hime!” and pointed at a giant white gecko swimming across a pool collected against a building. “It’s time,” I thought and said, “I think you had better tell us what’s going on. We’re all worried.” “I can’t.” “Sure you can. We’re family,” Kan-chan said, adding her pats to mine. “Family holds our secrets and fears for us. Tell you what, I’ll tell you my secret if you tell us yours. It’s so awful I haven’t even told Shiro or Kao.”

The results of the recent #ace #study "#Asexuality in the #UK: Public attitudes towards people who experience
little to no sexual attraction" have some not-so-encouraging numbers. I’ve decided to annotate some of the graphs in that paper.

("Direct" and "List" refers to different methods to present the prompt, see the paper for details)

(Source: kcl.ac.uk/policy-institute/ass ; annotations are mine)

4 annotated bar charts, each bar is annotated “these people are wrong”. Belief that people cannot be asexual if they have sex. Direct: 41%, List: 24%. The truth: While many asexuals don’t have any sex at all, this can’t be said for all asexuals. Some asexuals may decide to have sex, but for reasons other than feeling sexual attraction, e.g. aiming for pregnancy. Belief that asexuality is a mental health problem. Direct: 26%, List: 19% The truth: Asexuality is a sexual orientation, not a mental health problem. Many asexual people are happy withtheir identity, some even celebrate ace pride. :-) Belief that asexuality can be cured by therapy. Direct: 31%, List: 31% The truth: Trying to “cure” asexuality is conversion therapy, a practice that the scientific community denounces as dangerous pseudoscience that not only doesn’t work, but causes actual mental harm. Belief that asexual people haven’t met the right person yet. Direct: 24%, List: 27%. The truth: If you’re asexual, there isn’t a “right person” that can activate your “hidden” heterosexuality/homosexuality/bisexuality/etc. You’re just asexual. The most extreme continuation of this flawed logic is corrective rape, i.e. rape with the goal to change someone’s sexual orientation.
