EX ASESSUALI: le testimonianze dei guariti
Translation: Ex asexuals, witnesses of the healed ones
Submitted and translated by “L’afobia esiste” @stop.afobia_ita
Excerpt, translated via Google translate:
«Although asexuality is not an offense such as pedophilia, which harms third parties causing serious damage and trauma, it still generates heavy emotional, psychological and social disturbances and repercussions both in the person affected and in any partner. However, if society has rightly condemned pedophilia, this has not yet happened with asexuality, due to the lower social and physical danger of the pathology, but above all because of the political pressures linked to an unjust extremism of meaning politically correct.
Therefore subjects affected by asexual disorder should be treated as pedophiles, or induced to take care of themselves in order to try to reduce the damage or, if possible, heal.
It would be nice to be able to delude ourselves that asexuals will die out, since they do not reproduce. Unfortunately, however, they are all creatures born of ignorance forced by the dictatorship of minorities and ignorance, as you know, is always pregnant.»

ASESSUALITÀ, l’elenco delle sottocategorie aggiornato con le ultime novità
Translation: Asexuality, list of the subcategories updated with the last news
Submitted and translated by “L’afobia esiste” @stop.afobia_ita
Excerpts, translated via Google translate:
«These subjects unjustly claim the existence of a fourth sexual orientation with respect to the only three existing sexual orientations: straight, homo and bisexual. Their absurd slogan is: “No sex, no problem” because, according to what they would like to convince themselves, they could live happily even without sexual pleasure, without masturbation, without frustrations due to the absence of sex. This, of course, is only a bitter attempt to cover up the malaise in the person who lives it, due to the pathological lack of sexual desire. In fact, many of them have aggressive attitudes towards sexuality, being rightly people who have repressed their sexual impulses for physical impossibility to have relationships or psychological motivations.»
«We cite therefore, by way of example but not limited to, only a few labels including, that of greysexual, lithosexual, akoisessual, fraysexual, apotosexual, aegosexual, autochorosexual, quoisexual, asexual, cupiosexual, demiromantic, greyromantic, demiromantic, poliromantic, poliromantic, poliromantic pomomomial skolyoromantic, lithromantic, sapioromantic, antisexual, queerplatonic, semisexual, etc.
It is not necessary to go into unnecessary details analyzing one by one all these far-fetched categories, also because it would be an operation that would please these demented endorsing their delirium. It is sufficient to limit ourselves to saying that they are all the result of the same pathological weakness: that of feeling at all costs part of a group, identifying itself in a category.
And for each of these labels there is a minority group that claims to have the right to socially redeem their specific, deserving of protection, fetishistic delirium linked to the repulsion of sex.
Because if society has discriminated against homosexuals and Jews in the past, it would be very serious today to discriminate against them too! Any person who wakes up one morning and claims to create a label based on their dog’s cock, through which to claim rights, must be automatically considered to be the custodian of the right not to be discriminated against.»

Translation:
Girl: “Good evening, I don’t want to attack you or anything else, can I ask you to have a civile discussion? I’d like to understand why you hate so much asexual people”
Acephobe: “I don’t hate anyone and I never wrote about hating anyone. Where did you read it? Are you also dyslexic in addiction to having trauma related to sexuality?”
“However I repeat that there is no asexuality: those who have problems with sex have problems with their bodies and therefore have a disorder to solve. Sexuality is a primary drive and if it’s missing it means that there is a trauma that must be identified and resolved”
“But then you are 17 years old, you aren’t asexual, you simply haven’t found who opens your legs properly. Go fuck and don’t fuck with me”
(In the message he says “asessuata”, in Italian there’s a huge difference between “asessuale” and “asessuato/a/*, the first one means not having genitals, the second one means don’t feel sexual attraction, so the first one is an insult for asexual people).
Girl: “I’m sorry, I thought I could have a civilized, mature discussion with you, but obviously I was wrong”
Acephobe: “Your ass stinks of shit and your mouth stinks of milk. Get fucked by a Maghreb before you make serious speeches. Now go”
Girl: “I’ve got better things to do, good evening”
Acephobe: *sends dickpic*
“Suck the n****r cock and you’ll get over it, cow”

Asexual Bingo
Sometimes silly, sometimes serious, and always with lots of bad language and inappropriate graphics, here is a capsule view of the kinds of comments I get on my YouTube videos and through other channels regarding asexuality. And keeping track of how much fail I encountered was made easier with the handy-dandy Asexual Bingo card. (Believe me, I’ve heard EVERYTHING on it, but I had to cut a lot of stuff even to make this video.) If nothing else, this should give you an idea of how often certain sentiments are expressed and why these people’s knee-jerk condescending comments are not helping anyone and certainly aren’t doing much but making them look like their anger and frustration toward me for not wanting to have sex is way out of proportion for what people should be expressing about some stranger’s sex life.
The opening song is “Isabella” by the Mediæval Bæbes. And yes, I am really the age I say I am in the video. And thank you, yes my hair is pretty awesome.

Need more info on asexuality? I have a book out. Buy or borrow a copy of The Invisible Orientation: http://juliesondradecker.com/?page_id…
Want to know more about why these statements/questions are inappropriate? Read the info sheet with explanations:
http://swankivy.com/writing/essays/ph…
If we come out to you, we probably don’t mind discussing our orientation, but pretty much anything recited in this video is probably a bad idea to say to us. . . . Don’t be afraid to talk to us or ask questions, but sometimes on the sensitive topics, you might be better off doing your own research. You may also like these for further reading/watching:

Discrimination Against Asexual People Is Surprisingly Commonplace
Excerpt:
«It’s simple: Ace people made a choice, not that of which concerns the state of their sexual attraction, but everything else surrounding it. Bringing them ridicule from all walks of society. Almost universal disdain.
Straight people, gay people, bi/pan people, and every letter in the “LGBT+” acronym, have subsections of acephobic people. That is perhaps the most debilitating thing about such an observation — the people who you entrust most with having your back would suddenly turn on you and judge your existence to be trivial — inheritors of homophobic legacy. The very same type of bullshit we’re accustomed to by white nationalists when they claim that “everyone is at least a little bit racist”, to make a point about bigotry being an innate trait to be unlearned, not one that should be learned, to be avoided.»

This is #67 of a series in which I read correspondence between me and people who have questions, comments, or–more often–misconceptions about asexuality.
This one is about someone who said my book’s descriptions of negative reactions to asexuality can’t be taken seriously because I don’t give statistics on how many people this affects and don’t quote studies proving how and in what ways we are harassed. The commenter also accused me of misrepresenting the content of the academic resources I did quote from and said the citations were “cherry picked.” I explain why this comes from an inappropriate place and holds us to an unreasonable standard.

This is #62 of a series in which I read correspondence between me and people who have questions, comments, or–more often–misconceptions about asexuality. In this one I read some of the shorter comments I’ve had thrown at me by trolls, most of them people who sought out my content just to tell me no one cares about it. OK hun, you do you.

Letters to an Asexual #60 (Obsessive Harasser)
This is #60 of a series in which I read correspondence between me and people who have questions, comments, or–more often–misconceptions about asexuality. In this video, I share the harassing messages of a repeat offender who has been targeting queer activists for many years. Did you know asexuality isn’t normal and I need to see a therapist? Unless the therapist would tell me I’m fine, in which case therapists are crazy too? Maybe it would convince me if my harasser were to obsessively pore over my biographical details and try to use facts about my extended family against me? Because that’s something very stable people do to “help” people like me all the time!
