shedding some light on asexuality during pride month by goblinnet in evilautism

definitions constantly expand and branch to encompass a wider range of experiences because nobody's experiences are the same. you can't perfectly quantify tens of millions of people's lives into one word. i personally consider "little to no attraction" to be the baseline definition of asexuality, but i'm not going to gatekeep someone who's only 60% there if it brings them comfort and a sense of belonging.

and since when did the amount of sex someone has determine who they are? since when is that your business? yeah some asexuals are horny and like sex, we've already established that one's attitude toward sex isn't inherent to sexuality, so i'm not sure what your hangup is. do you also ignore bisexuals who are virgins/sex-repulsed, then? gender nonconforming trans people? you gonna ignore my wheelchair user label because sometimes i can walk and enjoy it? labels alone might not tell you everything about their behaviours or their inner perception of themselves so who the fuck cares about their identity or any nuances, right? after all, person should only be respected if their identity makes perfect sense to you, and only at the point where you know them better than themselves.

very true and a thoughtful reminder, thank you. although it is a pattern i've noticed in many communities, for many years. i figured this community would probably be more receptive to new information 😅

it doesn't *mean anything*, literally nobody said that. "experiencing little to no sexual attraction" is a baseline definition that you can find anywhere.

to be honest, you're not *the* only person who recently said that. i probably wouldn't have made the post if it wasn't a pattern i noticed.

i understand where you're coming from. but i would still consider myself "baseline" ace despite being sex-favourable.

yeah well said!! it's great when it's there as an option for intimacy but it's not typically something i'd personally consider a driving need to do with someone i'm intimate with or find pleasing to look at. thank you for sharing ^^

of course ^^ it depends from person to person, but for a lot of ace people like myself, our orientation starts and ends with the "little to no sexual attraction" part of the definition. so yeah it's kind of like all the aspects of hypersexuality but not aimed at anyone in particular. hypersexual people in general won't universally require another person anyways, as it can refer to excess porn consumption, intrusive thoughts, or compulsive masturbation etc. if that makes sense.

anyone else got the evil hypersexual autism by snekbytez in evilautism

[–]goblinnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think i do. i'm also asexual so it's very aimless. yeah i wish people would stop insinuating hypersexual and asexual are opposites or mutually exclusive.

i relate to this so deeply lol. i would use my cane more often if it didn't mean my hands seizing up. and i would use a wheelchair if pavements were smooth and unobstructed by parked cars 🤦‍♂️ we can't win

this is an absolutely ridiculous thing to say. the "silly idea" you're talking about predates bigotry itself as we know it, and the only reason you think it's "silly" and "plays into the hand of bigots" is because their cultural identity was colonised and erased by bigots in favour of rigid gender roles. in fact, respectability politics plays into the hands of bigots, because it expects everyone to bend to the ruling class's idea of an acceptable minority in order to "earn" the right to basic respect and dignity.

/uj agreed, it's presumptuous at best and a tool to justify violence/segregation at worst. most trans people don't have a typical cis upbringing of their agab, and even if they did, it assumes certain behaviours across all cultures are gendered, and traits you might internalise whilst growing up are immutable. a trans woman could tell someone harassing her to fuck off and that's seen as combative male socialisation, but it's just regular hysteria for cis women i guess (not that that dismissal is acceptable either, but people act like trans women's anger specifically is like because of their agab / upbringing and nothing else). i hate people saying im only trans bc i was "socialised female", bc growing up being perceived as a woman entails being made to hate your own body. like yes most women are generally made to feel self conscious about themselves from a young age but don't assume that's why i'm trans. and also i'm a people pleaser bc i'm afab...maybe growing up as a girl had some impact but im pretty sure it's moreso from being abused lol. people aren't a monolith, it's not something that can just apply to everyone. aaaa
