Are asexuals 'fake oppressed'? **Mod Note in Post #221**

You're right, they don't. To be honest it's far more than I'd like to know about someone and I'd consider it oversharing.

But hey, if bandying together with other people who have a shared experience in something that might cause them to feel like an outsider helps them so be it, I'm all for it. Can't see any harm being done… even if it annoys JK Rowling somewhat. 😁

Newsflash - the message is not for you its for them

Thats not what you said though, you said a world where people only stuck with likeminded people! You also said people instisted but now people dont insist.

If you dont care so much why feel like its being forced on you. Others might just shruk their shoulders and move on unpetured, thats not caring.

You do know what Viagra does dont you?

Absolutely, you are not clear.

Downs Syndrome, Breast Cancer, Spina Bifida etc, it's always good to have a day where people are reminded that, if they can, they should contribute to a charity.

I don't disagree with that. Contributing to charity is a worthwhile in those cases.

But of somebody was indifferent to a particular cause, they are free to make that choice. But turning indifference into public mocking is being a prick.

A day of awareness for people who may not want to have sex…. not so much. The fact that you have directly compared Downs Syndrome awareness to Asexuality awareness is both hilarious, ridiculous and proves my point.

I didn't make a comparison between the two LMFAO. I simply mentioned Downs Syndrome as it was a recent "World Day", one I advocate for. It was intentionally an extreme example.
Thinking that was equating the two suggests it went over your head. But don't worry, International Reading Comprehension day is coming up.

Awareness informs people that 'asexuality' (as the group sees it) exists - this might make some people stop and think;

'Hey you know what? I feel like this! I've been in relationships for years with a partner looking for XYZ from me and I wasn't interested in that at all - I thought there was something wrong with me and I was deficient!'

Awareness also makes people who feel a certain way not feel alone.

'Hey you know what, there are other people like me! Maybe I don't have to exist in a relationship where I am forcing myself to do things I don't want to do when I could meet another person like me'

It's a big assumption on your part that 'if you're asexual you don't need to be made aware of it' - some people genuinely do and believe there's something wrong with them for not feeling a particular way.

Incorrect, Below is what you said, You'll see I even bolded the parts yuu claim you never said!

"I agree. It's not for most people. I just wish people just kept themselves to themselves and interacted with likeminded people. The insistence that EVERYONE needs to acknowledge them is narcissistic at best. Live your best life as long as you are being legal. We don't need to know your antics."

How can i not misconsctrue you're commenting when you're not even clear of it yourself?

I might have missed some posts. But how does asexuality awareness day include people are not asexual?
Are just getting at the the distinction between "little to no" and "nothing at all".
That seems a bit pedantic, given I that those terms, and measuring it at all is pretty subjective.

Now it doesn't exist? lo, didn't take long for the mask to slip.

Chloroform? LMFAO. Asexual reproduction relates to plants. That a two worded phrase, words are needed.
Asexual is simply and english adjective. It's not "made up". That's just what the A- prefix means in in english. Atheist, Apathy, Amoral, Amensia.

There is also another reason people in general should be aware of its existence. You may be in a relationship with someone who shows little to no interest is an intimate relationship. This can have a huge impact on self esteem if you have a partner with low sex drive as you may believe it is you. It can cause anger issues or jealousy as people can believe "they must be getting it somewhere else". If people are aware that asexuality is a thing it may allow for open and honest relationships. It can allow people to have a fulfilling relationship in that scenario, or decide to move on before its too hurtful if being at the same sexually is important to the individual(s).

Or you could just ignore it. That's always the healthy option.

Yes of course, they'd feel the urge to get it on and to get giggity with it, hence bye bye asexuality and hello to the love zone 😘

Still don't know the difference between being celebrate or being asexual.

I firmly stand by my use of prick. Rowling was being an antagonist prick, I don't think she was trying to hide that.

But saying that people are pricks for mocking the fact that people want to bring to attention that they aren't interested in sex is very very different.

As people have pointed ok, it's not about bring attention to their individual "lack of interest" in a look at me, but the fact that like-minded people exist.

I'd be of the opinion that if someone who defines themselves by their sexuality (or lack thereof) publicly are absolutely fair game.

You think people that are say publicly homosexual are fair game to be mocked for being homosexual. Wow. You are not doing yourself any favours with that one…

To me, LGB people are people who are ultra-comfortable with sex."

Hey don't forget the T. We Trans Women and Trans men exist too.
