hey!! i just want ace people to know that i support u all. that there are non-ace members of the queer community who think u belong here and think ur valid. it’s not a competition to be the most oppressed or the most queer. i believe u belong with us and i love u all unconditionally!!!!
If you aren’t cisgender heteroromantic heterosexual, you belong in the queer community. I’m sick of seeing this bullshit “you aren’t queer enough” sort of community policing.
And by “cisgender heteroromantic heterosexual” I mean ALL THREE of those things.
Are you a trans (binary or nonbinary) person who is attracted sexually and romantically to the opposite gender? You belong in the LGBTA+ community.
Are you a cis person who is heteroromantic asexual? You belong.
Are you a cis person who is heterosexual aromantic? You belong.
Are you a cis bisexual who is currently dating a cis member of the opposite gender? You belong.
Are you an intersex individual who otherwise is heteroromantic heterosexual? You belong.
Stop trying to alienate people based on some fucked-up “level of queerness”. There are enough problems in the LGBTA+ community without people being exclusive.
SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT
This made me so fucking happy. Thank you.
I always wondered if I belonged, thank you
I totally understand if some people don’t apply the word to themselves (I’ve met some heteroromantics in the asexual community who don’t feel themselves to be queer, for example), but the word and the community are there for you if you want them. No one else has the right to decide that for you.
