Youâre really just keep making a fool of yourself here by misunderstanding things and then trying to act smug about it huh lmfao. Where did I say anything about libido there? Itâs clearly referring to how thereâs gay people (like me) who are ace and interested in people of the same gender just like thereâs cishet people only interested in other genders who are also ace. As in there are gay people who are disinterested in sex given their lack of a desire to pursue it regardless of their libido just like the same can apply to cishet people.
I wouldnât have minded explaining this to you and been willing to accept it as no more than a harmless misunderstanding if you werenât looking like a fool by trying to be snarky about jumping to conclusions. You get what you dish it out so donât go acting mad when youâre not coddled for it and end up looking bad for as much. Cishets can experience a lack of sexual attraction for people of the opposite sex and that doesnât automatically make them LGBT. There are both gay and cishet aces. The communities can overlap but arenât inherently the same. You should realize your tendency to rely on accusations and insults with a lack of counters doesnât make for a very worthwhile discussion and lessens the chance of your claims coming across as convincing. Having an attitude will result in receiving an attitude since people who canât discuss things with civility tend to not deserve a platform to be coddled on.
If you realized youâre not ready for this extensive discussion then thatâs fine and itâs valid to just drop it if youâre not ready to converse civilly but donât expect me or others to accept an argument that you havenât backed up through anything more than demeaning accusations. Believe it or not I have a say on this as a gender-fluid asexual lesbian and I frankly feel like youâre misunderstanding the majority of the claims being offered to you given how youâre not offering comments to most of them and primarily bringing up new arguments you expect me to cover without addressing any of my statements disputing your claims.
You obviously came in here with an intent to argue rather than communicate in regard to communities that weâre both apart of. This comes across as absolutely foolish to me and this mindset will absolutely make people less prone to considering your stances. Despite this, Iâve given you several chances to have a conversation to offer new insights that might allow us to consider things differently rather than a repetitive monologue that lacks in bringing anything new to the table. If you arenât ready to put an effort into doing otherwise then donât expect me to make an effort without calling attention to as much when you continuously avoid addressing it. I replied to your initial ask informatively and you chose to reply demeaningly and youâre continuing to do so. Iâm reciprocating your tone so if you want it to be more civil then consider being civil to have civility returned.
Iâm not writing a whole new reply just because your reading comprehension skills backfire on you when youâre being demeaning and not acknowledging how weirdly invasive you were in trying that libido bullshit with me in a way that was frankly creepy. Instead, Iâm just gonna repeat the stuff you selectively chose to not address.
âAs someone who has actually been called queer, dyke, and other terms in deragatory settings... seeing other people call themselves queer just when theyâre referring to stigmatization but not oppression is a lot. Not saying youâre not queer since your trans so like yes thatâs valid, but queer is not a slur to claim for people who just so happen to deviate from social norms in relationships since thatâs not the same as homophobic or transphobic rhetoric.
If gay people can be asexual or polyamorous then so can straight people.
Iâve found a lot of aces just communicate with aces within the LGBT community so thereâs a lack of understanding when it comes to how thereâs absolutely aces that exist outside of that communityâ including homophobic and transphobic ones that absolutely donât belong in the community by default.
There are cishet people who identify as cishet since theyâre only attracted to people of the opposite gender yet they arenât interested in sex. LGBT people and cishet people can be ace and claiming someone has to identify with being LGBT when theyâre cishet is disconcerting. You talk about me invalidating youâre identity but I feel like youâve only talked to aces who were LGBT and none that identify with being cishet and arenât interested in being LGBT, and invalidating their identities isnât progressive.
Iâve met multiple aces who identify as cishet and donât identify with being LGBT. Iâve also met multiple ace men who were extremely homophobic to gay men and vice versa for women. They absolutely donât belong in the community just because they donât want to have sex.â
Iâm considering blocking you for awhile so youâll potentially have time to actually read over what I said since you seem to feel an impulse to immediately reply with your own repetitive opinion without considering how my statements counter the claims supporting that opinion.
This could allow you to come up with counter-claims and actually bring something new to the table that isnât baseless accusations, new claims that donât address any counters, and just reworded phrases that have already been debunked; offering new perspectives through mutual counters makes for a much more productive conversation compared to just pushing an opinion with an intent to argue that gets you nowhere.
Youâre giving me foundations for my argument, and Iâve given you the doubt by considering how it might be insightful to hear you offer things I hadnât considered so we can better understand each otherâs stances as people who are both in the LGBT community and ace communityâ particularly when I used to believe being ace meant automatically being LGBT like you did.
It could also allow you to cool down and consider acting more civilly rather than relying on going on the defense to sound demeaning in attempts to make your argument sound more sturdy than it actually is.
If I did block you, perhaps I could tag you afterward in a reblog of this reply to let you know the post was available for replies from you again.
Although Iâve also considered blocking you permanently given the confrontational attitude youâve taken on that Iâm not required to put up withâ particularly when I initially made an effort to be civil and have a conversation as well as introduce new insights while also addressing your perspectives, yet you still havenât acknowledged the majority of the debunked claims I made. I donât have to put an effort into addressing comments that lack an effort and I donât have to allow unwarranted bait on my post when it doesnât offer any insights worth considering due to that. You came to me and chose to engage in this discussion which I welcomed by answering your question, but I am not required to entertain your desire to argue when what I welcomed was a conversation. Iâve made this clear throughout my replies and itâs not my fault youâve failed to acknowledge as much so far. Do not expect welcoming behavior when you do not make an effort to give as much.
Youâre more than welcome to indicate whether or not you want to have an actual conversation or if you just want to drop this on your blog if I do end up blocking you since you wouldnât have a chance to personally tell me as much. I might consider checking it if I do but given whatâs occurred I might not have any desire to check up on your blog in regard to this since Iâm really not required to keep giving chances to allow you to do as much here. Itâs perfectly fine if youâve realized youâre not ready to have a discussion this extensive right now.
Iâm assuming youâve potentially read as much given how youâve been active on your account since your last reblog.
Okay, your bio says not inclusionist. Please elaborate on that.
Iâm saying this as an asexual lesbian just to clarify; there can be cishet aces just like there can be gay and/or trans aces is the gist of it so being ace in that sense doesnât inherently make someone LGBT by default. Additionally, being in a polyamorous relationship doesnât automatically make someone a part of the LGBT community if they donât experience same-sex attraction or identify with a different gender than the one they were assigned.

We need to dismantle the systems in place that allow white people to get away with offering black people sub-par services based on the excuse that our bodies are more difficult to work with. Black hair is not more difficult than white hair, it simply requires a different skill set. Tattooing vibrant tattoos on black skin isnât more difficult than tattooing white skin, it simply requires a different skill set. Photographing black people isnât more difficult than photographing white people, it simply requires an understanding of photography. Doing makeup on black skin isnât more difficult than doing makeup on white skin, it simply requires different products. Working with black people is not more difficult than working with white people youâve all just been taught that itâs not valuable and therefore not worth learning how.
