Privilege Denying Asexuals

1. Because I’m asexual, I don’t have to worry about being called a slut. If someone does call me a slut anyway, it doesn’t matter, because I know that they’re wrong.
2. As an asexual, I don’t have to worry about becoming pregnant or impregnating anyone, or about STDs.
3. If I’m a demisexual woman, I can rest assured knowing that I fit into the category that society deems most appropriate for a woman: One who will not have sex unless in a committed, monogamous, usually marital relationship.
4. While I may be made fun of or shunned by individual people, I don’t have to worry about being systematically discriminated against for my sexual orientation the way queer people do. For example, no country has laws that make it okay to sentence asexuals to death.
5. I am not considered a bad influence on children because of my sexual orientation.
6. I can obtain access to queer-only spaces without experiencing the discrimination and oppression that queer people experience. (submitted by anon)
7. If I’m heteroromantic, I am free to ignore my straight privilege even though I only have relationships with men if I’m a woman, or women if I’m a man. (submitted by anon)
8. I can employ words like “privilege” and “oppression” to gain control of social justice discussions without knowing what they actually mean in a non-Tumblr social justice context. (submitted by graftversushost)
9. When queer people tell me that I am not entitled to call myself an anti-LGBTQ slur, I can quote the dictionary definition of that slur at them to support my case. (submitted by graftversushost)
