3 Ways You Might Be Marginalizing Disabled Asexual People (And What to Do About It)

Have you noticed how disabled and asexual communities can try to distance themselves from each other? This author's experienced this from all sides, and these examples are so common.

Instead of saying “Asexuality isn’t a disability! Asexual people aren’t disabled,” try “Asexuality isn’t a disability by itself, but there are disabled asexual people and their orientations are just as valid as nondisabled asexual people.”

Your asexuality is not something you should be ashamed of. Your asexuality is not something that you should regret because of how it might affect your relationships. Your asexuality is not bad, regrettable, or shameful.

To the closeted aces. To the aces who are struggling to come up with reasons that they haven’t brought a partner to the family celebration, to the aces who don’t know how to explain why they’re not having kids, why they’re not having the life their families think they should.

To the aces who have come out. To the aces who face invalidation, attempts to “correct” their identity, or attempts to explain it away. To the aces who face flat out denial of who they are, or hatred because of it.

As the holiday season gets underway, please remember that you deserve better than this. You are incredible, and the way you have been treated is not acceptable. You are deserving of love and support.
