Remember when demisexual couples were violently assaulted in public? Remember when demisexual teenagers were bullied until they committed suicide? Remember when don’t ask don’t tell was overturned so demisexuals were able to serve in the military? Remember that for much of history,…

Since we’re listing things that never happened:

Remember when it was stated that asexuals, demisexuals, grey-asexuals, and anyone under the asexual spectrum claimed the same oppression as the LGBT community?

Yes,the general consensus is that asexuals are not oppressed as badly as the LGBT community, you win the oppression Olympics ( we’ll put aside the fact that demisexuals and the asexual spectrum do start to fall under the category of “oppressed enough” when you take into account romantic orientation, gender identity, and choice of partners)! Congratulations!

However, we are erased, bullied, and told by wonderful people such as yourself that we should stop talking about ourselves because we don’t have it as bad as other people. You want to know why I care so much about awareness and making sure people like you acknowledge the asexual spectrum? Would you like to know why I won’t shut up like you want me to? Because I don’t want another person to drift through life thinking they’re broken because the only sexual orientations they are taught about are the ones deemed oppressed enough. I want people to know they are not alone in their experiences. Asexuality, demisexuality, and grey-asexuality need awareness, because no one deserves to feel broken.
