Goodness gracious.
No one was belittling you for your ignorance. It is completely understandable that you would not be aware of asexual/aromantic identities. No one was asking you to make an entirely new character for the sole purpose of representation.
All we want is a genuine apology and respect. You have made it clearer than ever that you will afford us neither.

I’ve had this one sitting in my to-do pile for a while, and was finally galvanized to draw it up after going to a talk around intersections of sex, gender, and race this weekend. The topic of pronouns and terminology came up and the speaker just sort of smirked and said ‘yeah, we all know who wrote the dictionaries, don’t we?’ and I was like YES I HAVE A WHOLE THING ABOUT THAT.
My proudest moment of this comic is that I managed to sneak a penis joke into it.
Relevant!
what stopping girl hate is about:
ending internalised misogyny and the prioritisation of men over each other
what stopping girl hate is not about:
expecting women of colour, disabled women and LGBTQA+ women to excuse racism, ableism, homophobia and transmisogyny simply because it’s coming from other women
the whole ‘aromantic asexual people are just straight people’ says a lot about people’s belief in ‘straight is the default’
sometimes out lgbtqia+ people forget how vital it is to preserve safe spaces where closeted people are welcome in their (deserved) frustration at 20 y/o straight dudes calling themselves allies for brownie points.
but the ‘s’ in ‘gsa’ is important—not for the straight people, not for the allies, but for every fourteen year old girl who asks her unsupportive parents for a ride to a meeting under the guise of “allyship”. we can’t get rid of the only chance at community some of the most vulnerable people in ours have.

I like to think she wears a jumper because a bakery is the only place warm enough for her demonic skin.
Vote for the next one!
Made some more stickers to put around campus and Santa Fe
Why FCKH8 is NOT an Ally to the Queer Community
- That time they made fun of asexuality and diversity of the queer community in one fell swoop
- That time they became hypocrites about it to avoid being called acephobic (not to mention cissexist/ not trans* inclusive)
- That time they used misogyny to empower cis gay men, alienate lesbians, forget about bisexuality, and be cissexist about all forms of sexuality
- That time they stole ideas from queer charities to make a profit
- That time they stole ideas from bloggers to make a profit
- That time reviews show just how shitty they are at doing business anways
- That time they paralleled racial segregation to the gay rights movement because they are definitely the same thing
- That time they used stereotypes of Black women to render them into props
- That time they ignored gender neutral pronouns, cited religion as a reason for doing so, and harassed someone over it
- Basically all of the stuff folks are reporting on this tumblr I keep linking ya’ll to
They harass and disrespect people on their facebook page. They are actively cissexist, transphobic, asexual erasing, racist, sexist, and misogynist in order to sell shitty, overpriced t-shirts that they stole from charities.
So in other words, fuck fckh8.
(I understand that a lot of parodies of fckh8 have recently appeared on tumblr and other social network websites. As far as I am aware none of the links I have posted above are parodies, and are actually associated with fckh8.
If you notice any disparities, please let me know.)
