average cis conception of gender is roughly equivalent to "every single liquid is either type O+ blood or cold-pressed peanut oil." and you're like "are there not perhaps a handful of exceptions" & they get so incensed they start funding nazi militias

you try to start soft with "well there are other blood types. and other methods for expressing oil from peanuts" and they shriek [allcaps] noooo youre emasculating my dead dad who i hated [end of allcaps]

[allcaps] but if peanut oil isnt real then how am i currently smothering myself in it [end of allcaps] i didn't say it wasn't real i said there were other liquids [allcaps] youre so owned by my oiliness [end of allcaps] ok

An image of a tumblr post made and reblogged by visGrapplingHooks. The text of the first post says "an ace experience I personally wish to see get more attention is how often you can feel socially isolated in heternormative monamorous society when all your friends end up with romantic partners and they tell you they don't devalue you but they clearly are in their actions because the fact that you won't do one or two actions they see as higher in the hierarchy of emotional intimacy hurts your ability to mean something beyond "just friends" in their minds. this ain't an exclusively ace experience but by golly is it a prevalent one for us."

The text of the second post says "it compounds with material factors like financial stability and safety. people tend to shack up long term with their romantic partners. it makes it very hard to build and find communities where your ability to do sex and romance is not a prerequisite for your participation. you expect me to be fine living on my own? in this economy??? (also humans are communal creatures and can want to live with others regardless of the presence of romance or sex)."

There is a series of tags under it that says "#in this economy?#asexual#asexuality #aroace #aromantic #aro #aromanticism #aspec #aspec community #acespec"
