topics relating to Bisexual erasure during Pride month, racial discrimination which still continues, and the extreme violence Trans individuals experience on a daily basis despite being the keystone for the movements and platforms that many people benefit from right now. 2/
I say all of this because while these topics are undeniably critical for the progression of Pride and advancing intersectional dialogue, something I don't see a lot of is the invisibility of the Ace/Aro experience in a world where sexualization is normalized and encouraged. 3/
The ace community has a real problem with ableism, and we NEED to talk about it. #asexuality #disability 1/23
Since the very beginning of ace advocacy, ace people have responded to questions about hormone levels, mental illness, and pathologization by insisting that asexuality is wholly unrelated to disability. 2/23
Activists routinely argue that asexuality is a legitimate orientation "because there's nothing wrong with our bodies"—that it should be recognized "because it isn't a result of disability, or autism, or trauma..." This is ableism at work! 3/23

I looked up @lgbtmap's resources showing which states have passed bans against #conversiontherapy on the basis of sexual orientation for minors. The states are CA, WA, OR, NV, NM, IL, VT, NH, RI, CT, NJ, DE, and MD + D.C. lgbtmap.org/equality-maps/….
Here are the relevant portions of CA's law: "This bill would prohibit a mental health provider, as defined, from engaging in sexual orientation change efforts, as defined, with a patient under 18 years of age."
“Sexual orientation change efforts” means any practices by mental health providers that seek to change an individual’s sexual orientation.
