OR: I AM A VERY ASPEC LESBIAN AND I AM VERY, VERY TIRED
"but you& #39;re still lgbt its the First Letter--"
i know, that& #39;s not the POINT, harold
its abt it being near 7 am, me tired, and aphobes hiding behind exclusionism to be Aggressively aphobic often ENOUGH that the debate makes my skin crawl w anticipation of aggressive aphobia

(neither is [the point] the fact even if I was involved in ANY community, seeing people be/express Explicit Horny— not tlc/pda/casual kissing, actual HORNY— irl/as a thing They Themselves Want to Do makes me variably uncomfy, so like??
no yea i& #39;d rather sit w aspecs myself lmao)

vaguely glad for this babble in the sense/reminding myself exclusionism =/= aphobia n that Technically i& #39;d rather be in aspec/aspec-friendly spaces than those that have Any focus on Important of Romantic/Sexual Love, Specifically
but like ???
but like ???
BCUZ of how often ""exclusionism"" n aphobia come hand in hand it& #39;s still smth that gets my anxiety going to see discussed in Not explicitly clear + explicitly RESPECTFUL n ACKNOWLEDGING of aphobia ways
bc like

or: bigots ruin everything, lmfao

anyway i Forgot where i was initially going w this tl;dr aphobia fucking Sucks, EVERYONE needs to respect aspecs more (cishet AND lgbt), and Actual Aspec Spaces— even online—that are SAFE from aphobia (esp arophobia, including from asexuals) don& #39;t?? really exist yet? iirc? and F
(clarification jic as i skim prev tweets— even if I& #39;ve locked replies lmao— in that NO I& #39;m not saying every exclu is aphobic nor that allo-lgbt_ ppl are aphobic. just that aphobes, including those IN lgbt+ comm, will use exclusionism as a cover to be aphobic as fucking FUCK.)
(like uh blaming sb& #39;s internalized homophobia on Aspecs, not ACTUAL SOCIETAL HOMOPHOBIA, bc at first they& #39;d rather id as aspec than gay
That. Happens.
which is uh. Literally like me blaming bi/pan ppl for my iding as bi/pan before Realizing it was comphet n that i& #39;m a lesbian)

(just uh. different forms of it?? since going w [allo]bi/pan due to comphet + allonormity before realizing Just Gay = knowing abt ur vague [not Quite allo!] attraction to same gender, n Presuming ur attracted to others too bc Comphet
vs iding as aspec->realizing ur gay = knowing ur NOT attracted to opposite/other genders, DESPITE comphet, n [at first] saying ur aspec/aroace to AVOID facing ur attraction to same gender
if that makes sense)

(im tired? i& #39;m tired. its past 7 am n i started this thread like ~40+ minutes ago.)
