If you are a queer-oriented person trivializing asexuals, demisexuals, or gray-asexuals, you are a bully and a hypocrite.

The asexual spectrum in a legitimate thing. People on the spectrum cannot help how they experience attraction and experience it in a completely different way than the rest of society. It’s just like being homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, polysexual, or heterosexual - it’s not something that can be changed, not something people do for attention, not something people lie about, AND (most importantly) not something people want to be demeaned for.

Asexuals don’t have hormone problems and they are not slut-shamers.

Demisexuals are not “special snowflakes” inventing definitions of attraction just for no reason.

Gray-asexuals are not fence-sitters who need to choose a side.

If you find any of these identities stupid or laughable, then you DON’T GET IT, and instead of writing off a valuable part of the queer community, you should give aces your respect by educating yourself on the different identities involved.

Talk to an asexual person. Look on the AVEN forums or wiki. Use google. Follow some asexual tumblrs. Just do SOMETHING to stop the asexual hate and alienation.

It’s seriously not that hard to be an ally.
