Here are a few I’ve heard:
- “Identifying as demisexual is just a form of slut-shaming”
- “‘Demisexuality’ is just the human norm, most people don’t fuck someone they just met”
- “Asexual claims of discrimination are an insult to the Black Americans who struggled in the Civil Rights Movement”
- “Anyone who identifies as asexual is either an incel in denial or has a medical problem that needs to be cured”
One of my close friends growing up was extremely Christian and literally believed that gay people’s bodies were physiologically different than straight people’s. He refused to accept that his prostate could offer pleasure to him the same way it might a gay man. Basically, he hated gays so much that he wanted to physically separate himself from the idea of them as much as possible.
Which was great for me surrounded by that as a closeted teen.
Fun fact, he simultaneously believed that being gay was a choice. Not sure how you reconcile those two ideas but I imagine he wasn’t thinking too closely about it.
That amount of brain twisting logic is on par with famers who hate socialism but they will complain if farm subsidies checks are late or decreased…
These people vote.
