I'm not horny for seggs time 24/7 but at the same time, I was sexually and emotionally abused. This latter part definitely complicates things :// what do you think? Yes or no? Queer existence is about bringing existential emphasis to definitions that rely on binary logics for the purposes of cishet discourse recognition + creating spaces antagonistic to trauma survivors because Yes
You not only alienate those traumatized who've found the identity to be socially convenient, but you come across as desperate for cisheteronormative "legitimate" recognition.
You've constructed a binary between sexuality and traumatic response. A self understanding through sexuality is legitimate/healthy/good and a traumatic response is a cause for concern.
Can you see how this narrative not only could work but have worked in the past for the purposes of justifying the dismissal of non-normative sex?
Edit: I'm now banned from the sub lmao, what a shitshow. To suggest that sexuality and trauma are two separate unrelated domains is to completely throw out the field of psychology out the window. Wtf. Why do ace spaces hate trauma survivors?
Edit 2: This subreddit is an uncomfortable space for those questioning on this basis. I encourage people to leave if they've also undergone sexual trauma. You are not ace apparently
