real, actual discourse from exclusionists right now: ‘children starting puberty shouldn’t be taught what a period is and any sex ed before the age of 15 is bad’
like….. how do they go around saying ace people all hate DIRTY ALLO SEX HAVERS and then pull this shit
“That cannot possibly be true,” I said to myself, unwilling to believe that they would stoop so low. “There’s no way that’s a real thing.”
It is indeed a true and real thing currently being said.
I know all REGs are the same, but sometimes I forget how prominent REGs are in every arena.
If your arguments for the protection of children’s health have been debunked a thousand times over by every medical, psychological and public safety group since the fifties, then you are full of shit and need to stop.

I’m just remembering how, previously, I’d seen multiple people talking about how “the ace community” was all about sex shaming, and wanted to bring conservative politics into LGBTIQA+ spaces.
The same people who had said thing like that are the ones arguing against sex-ed, and the ones arguing that “since being a-spec is simply a matter of sex related behavior”, therefore you shouldn’t talk about being a-spec in almost any context, because “talking about sex is gross and tmi”.
There’s a lot of problems with the both assertions here, but just focusing on the parts where they’re displaying the very behavior they accuse “the ace community” of to demonise them…
I mean, it just seems… rather ironic and hypocritical, is all I’m saying.
Do you only think white girls can be lesbians? Girls still eat each other out on their periods. You don’t know anything about lesbian sex it’s ok.
1.) I’m Mexican and I love girls ya dumbo
2.) I don’t give a shit if you’re a heterosexual couple, a homosexual couple or just a couple where one or both parties have a vagina… if you have any kind of sex, especially ORAL sex during a period that’s fucking nasty and I’m praying to god y’all see the light
Also my first anon hate is some terfy trying to do period sex discourse with me I’m
#unsanitary
hello please use a dental dam! they’re an important barrier to prevent STI’s and assorted grossness during oral sex on either vaginas and butts! a very important part of every lesbian’s toolkit 10/10 would recommend
