#Also. who gives a fuck about a definition. apparently I'm Pangender. but who cares? just let people exist with their community

the ace discourse is stupid and some of you are being assholes

I have been treated poorly for having an interest in romance, but not wanting to date people. That's it. Literally just saying "No, I don't want to date" Has gotten me in trouble with assholes. I cannot imagine how frustrating it is to have your community try to push you out because you don't experience sexual attraction. cuz "that's not gay enough." I'm kind of shocked. Instead of getting in fights to protect each other, members of the community decided to just go out into the world and harass and bully each other?

You sound like a 4chan user, leave people alone. Queerness is not the Wiktionary definition, it is the community you end up in, and the community people make safe for EVERYONE. I dont think queer spaces should exclude anyone. There can be more local protected zones where only X person is allowed but "Queer spaces" are not a monolith that you get to gatekeep. Within the entirety of all queer spaces, we have room for everyone, we can include everyone. There is space for everyone, even Cis/Het ppl can come. the only exceptions are Assholes. End of story.

The ENTIRE POINT of having an organized and public label to identify with is to build unity and combat those horrible people who think queerness is a crime. Its not for your fandom bullshit where you make comics about flags, its literally because of -human rights- and -keeping ourselves safe-

go make your comics and coin phrases to describe yourself. that's wonderful. Just know that this community we are a part of is not about the merch or the fan cams. Its about the Human right to exist. don't you dare attack other people because they don't fit YOUR definition of queer.
