So some Nazis are about to descend on the city I live in, and I want you all to know that I am currently making a sign for the counterprotest tomorrow which says “I don’t care for these new Nazis and you may quote me on that”
I posted this as well already on my page but the fact of the matter is this is straight up discrimination based on disability trying to be covered with blatant lies by this business owner.
Here’s a fun addition to the story though. former Canadian Paralympian and current law student Jeff Adams visited this cafe himself in the last few hours today on August 10th 2018, and there is video on his twitter feed right now showing that the business owner took several patrons and cats into the back room of the shop, segregating service from Jeff because he is a wheelchair user. You can find him on twitter @JeffAdamsmania

I find it interesting how a lot of these comments in this part are literally advocating for conversion therapy of asexuals, see us as people that can be ‘fixed’ with the right amount of ‘therapy’ and the ‘correct psychologist’. Straight people don’t think we’re straight, or normal. Honestly a lot of them hate us.
This is something I talked about earlier, how there are plenty of types of aphobia, and this type is the one we tend to face on a regular basis. Literal sexual harassment and conversion therapy.
But sure, aphobia isn’t real alright.
Jesus this is scary
It’s funny that they want to paint us as an ‘abnormal’ tiny little minority. Asexuals are estimated to make up 1% of the worlds population. To put that into perspective the entire population of Australia is estimated at 0.33% of the worlds population. So the amount of people you’re discarding is the same as the entire population of Australia three times over. But sure we’re tiny, abnormal and irrelevant.
so, everyone who wants to throw aro and ace people out of the LGBTQIA community: please take a moment to notice how the intolerance here doesn’t just look the same as intolerance against other marginalized sexualities and gender identities, it doesn’t just use the same words and tone and tactics, it’s explicitly linked by several of these people. they’re saying they think asexual people are “sick” in the same way trans people are. maybe think about that before you go on another “you’re not oppressed like we are and don’t belong here” tirade.
Okay maybe I was wrong. Maybe aphobia is a thing.
It really is, a lot more than most non-ace people realize
🎶 This is just a tiny fraction of the shit we face…🎶
Please note the psychiatrist saying that asexuality isn’t REAL and can be cured.
A year or so ago when there was talk of some drug being released that was supposed to up a woman’s libido but had horrible side effects I had FRANTIC young ace people messaging me because their parents were pushing them to take it..
There is absolutely a systemic oppression of ace people.
Man, this is fucking despicable.
Asexuals: You are not what these arseholes are telling you you are. I mean, you already know that, but I can only hope that more people saying it will help in some way.
These arseholes and those who think like them: Uh, you’re arseholes.
I didn’t know there were disgusting bastards like this.
No Asexuals, there’s nothing wrong with you. But the people obsessed with trying to get you to enjoy sex and be sexual need therapy themselves.
