Letters to an Asexual

This is #113 of a series in which I read correspondence between me and people who have questions, comments, or--more often--misconceptions about asexuality. In this video, I read out a Tumblr blogger's opinion that asexual people don't experience oppression and therefore don't REALLY need attention for their cause.

    My narcissistic family (besides my late disabled father) never accepted me as a disabled person . I was never accepted for who I was from the moment I began growing differently. Thank you for being who you are. I never came out to my family, but knowing so someone would accept me meant a lot growing to . Thank you for being yourself :).

    My old friend group basically turned their backs on me for not wanting allo stuff, they are cooler with people who harm others in very bad ways than me by a long way. I have been treated so poorly and yet we are not facing problems? Maybe only when someones life is ended for being ace we will see some of these people admit anything bad happens to aces. Though i hope that never happens of course.

    Yeah, there's a lot of prejudice. And given how many people HAVE been harmed because they said "no" to sex, I'm certain that some people have been hurt for being asexual before, even if the perpetrator didn't yell "HAHA, I specifically hate asexual people and that is why I am stabbing you!" Asexual people are sometimes seen as outsiders if they can't or won't partner up the way they're expected to, and it definitely leads to us being ostracized. Sorry things like this have happened to you.
