acephobes to asexuals: anyone who calls our movement a rape apologist movement hates survivors.

acephobes to asexuals: also we and we alone decide whether you consent to sex or not. (x)

You know what’s really upsetting is that some of the points made in that post are actually pretty okay, and then you put it in the context that sleepdontvisit hates aspecs and it’s like “Ah.”

Also it’s swerfy as fuck. 

denying anyone with a particular sexuality the ability to consent is to decree that you have power over their sexuality, that you are the authority as to whether they consent or not.

and even when couched in benevolent language and feigned concern, it’s still an insidious facet of rape culture being utilized by exclusionists.

and yeah, sex workers are regularly told by SWERFs that they can’t consent to sex with their clients for a variety of reasons, one of which being the lack of sexual attraction they have toward their clients.

 SWERFs rob sex workers of sexual agency and the ability to consent by insisting that sexual attraction is required to consent. it’s an example of rape culture when SWERFs do it to sex workers, and it remains such when acephobes do it to asexuals.
