[ID: The Scooby Doo ghost meme. In the first panel, Fred looks at a ghost, labelled “"aces and aros don’t need to be included in anti-discrimination whose intent is to prohibit discrimination on the basis of orientation"”, and says “Okay gang, let’s see who the ghost really is.“ In the second panel, Fred pulls off the mask and looks at a man labelled “"I think it should be legal to discriminate against someone for being asexual or aromantic"”. End ID]

Think that discriminating against someone for being ace or aro should be illegal? The Inclusive Equality Act Coalition is trying to make sure that’s the case. 

People will scream socialism the second someone proposes better and cheaper healthcare. They'll think that somehow black people being lifted up out of their oppression means less rights for themselves. Most left policies are about basic human rights and I can't believe some people aren't okay with that.

so this is more for myself-

i'm curious to see how much my gender changes (I'm genderfluid) and what it changes to so I'll probably repeatedly reblog this with my gender shshhs

aphobe: asexuals and aromantics aren’t oppressed asexuals and aromantics: yes, they actually are! Here’s some peer-reviewed, duplicated, factual studies about our obscene suicide rates, how we’re viewed negatively by society as a whole and by other sexual minorities, how over 1/10th of us have been through conversion therapy, how people won’t rent to us, how we’re murdered by our significant others and how, yes, anti-queer oppression effects us just as much as the next person. please stop saying things like this, because it sets a dangerous precedent that our oft-deadly oppression is something to be mocked and laughed at aphobe: 

shoutout to pan, omni, ply, fluid, queer, unlabeled, and all other non-bi mspec people!

there is absolutely nothing wrong with finding a label that works for you and makes sense to you and captures how you feel about your attraction, even if it’s unknown, looked down on, a microlabel, created on tumblr, or severely misunderstood.

despite what people say, your label is not the reason people outside of the community hate us. your label does not make people think the community is a joke. the narrative that queer people with lesser known, understood, and accepted labels (microlabels, non-bi mspec labels, most aspec and non-binary labels, multiple labels, etc.) are to blame for queerphobia is simply repackaged homophobia that the community internalized.

the labels you use, or don’t use, to make sense of your feelings and experiences in good faith hurt absolutely no one and take away absolutely nothing from anyone else.

please do not let people who are taking their internalized queerphobia out on their own community shame you out of identifying in a way that feels right for you or make you question yourself and your identity.

once more, there is nothing wrong with identifying as pan, omni, ply, fluid, queer, or any other non-bi mspec labels. there is nothing wrong with being mspec, but not using any specific label.

being mspec and not using the bi label, however you decide to label or not label yourself, is not hurting anyone.

you are an important part of our community and history.

please remember that.

What someone says: I have romantic feelings for you

What I hear: I have decided, based on nothing that has to do with you, that you are going to solve all of my problems and make me happy forever, and when you inevitably can't do that I am going to be hurt and disappointed and maybe even mad at you

yessir

no one is allowed to not see this
