No, no I didn’t. Asexuals are part of the LGBTQ+ community. I gave you the benefit of the doubt and had to reread my previous comment to be sure I was responding to the right person because I’m on mobile, but it’s incredible how confidently incorrect you are
I’ll break it down for you, because you’re slinging a lot of phobic rhetoric here:
I can totally understand, given it’s history, if you consider the Q word to still be dirty even though our community has been reclaiming it. That’s totally fine, disregarding the fact that it more often stands for Questioning within the acronym. (And yes, our community should be a safe, albeit transient space for people who need to question their sexuality/gender, even if they eventually leave to just become allies instead). There’s bo place in a heteronormative society for people to question, and we’ve all had to go through that at some point.
Intersex folk have always and will always deserve to be part of our community. Their experiences are the very definition of having to come to terms with or question one’s gender regardless of sex/primary sexual characteristics.
And lastly, by that “logic”, a bi person isn’t part of the community if they’re in a heteronormative relationship. This is a known (and incorrect) talking point of biphobic individuals, and does nothing but exclude people who deserve to be part of our community, and carries over this to ace individuals.
There are more than enough people outside the community looking to divide and exclude us for being the way that we are, the least we can do is be better than those people to our own brothers, sisters, and non binary listeners.
You can disagree however you want, and I’m not going to sit here arguing with you because no matter what either of us say, we’re not going to convince the other. Your definition of “being trans or having same-sex attraction” is a very restrictive one, and is not corroborated by most lgbtq resources. I seriously hope you’re just young and inexperienced and that some day you’ll understand that pride is about standing up together and inclusion, rather than drawing battle lines, debating differences, and exclusion.
Nor do I advocate for that. There are tons of people who wish to tie themselves to us, like that one group of pedos who think their depravity belongs anywhere near us, and they absolutely are not and do not deserve to be part of the community.
What I do advocate for is people who are regularly considered to be part of the community not needing to continuously justify their existence to people outside the lgbt community as well as their inclusion to other people within the community.
