it makes me unfomconrtable when people are like “how are you opressed!??? what laws are there??? when have you been a target of violence out for being asexual” like lets just apply that logic to like, my gender for a sec. im nonbinary and ive never been targeted violently because of it nor has the law had any material impacts on me. so by this logic im not oppressed for being trans… but thats just ignoring all the misgendering and microagressions and weird sexual questions people ask me because im nonbinary. YEAH those are forms of oppression and when you ignore those towards asexual people then youre implying that they should be ignored for all marginalized groups. 

I’m fat. There are no laws against me being fat. I’ve never in my life experienced government-sanctioned fatphobia. That doesn’t mean fatphobia isn’t pervasive and real

Also in a lot of individuals cases, it’s micriaggressions that they are facing on the daily not laws. There is no law that says kill black people, but I still have to live in fear of a cop choosing to because racism. There are no laws set that say to call trans people derogatory slurs but that’s what I actually deal with. This insistence of people only being really oppressed because laws is like… textbook anti sjw honestly

EXACTLY…like i live in a pretty liberal area where i don’t have to worry about my personal safety on a daily basis but like…

am i not allowed to be upset when i hear transphobic jokes? or transphobic slurs? am i not allowed to be upset when someone says “that’s so r*tarded/autistic?” am i not allowed to be upset at the disgusted looks i get when i’m openly queer or neurodivergent? am i not allowed to be upset when people refuse to use my correct pronouns?

like, when aphobes say “at least you aren’t MURDERED for being asexual/aromantic” they need to take a step back and think about why they don’t consider microaggressions to be a real, valid, and harmful form of oppression.

and i agree with @ungracefulace on it being textbook anti-SJW-ism. it’s just like how anti-SJWs try to shut down feminism by being like…“women in Saudi Arabia aren’t even legally allowed to drive, why are you getting upset when someone makes a rape joke.” this ain’t the fucking Oppression Olympics. ALL forms of oppression are harmful. fuck your gatekeeping, fuck your policing.
