Challenges faced by asexual spectrum survivors of sexual violence (part 1)

By Queenie| 2018-04-12T00:45:21-04:00 July 23rd, 2015|Categories: Compulsory Sexuality, Education, For Activists, For Professionals, For Supporters, Rape Culture|Tags: ace community, awful things people say, challenges faced by ace survivors series, coercion, compromise, compulsory sexuality, corrective rape, CSA, rape culture, sexuality policing, victim blaming|

This series focuses on awful things people say to asexual spectrum survivors of sexual violence, sometimes out of spite, sometimes out of concern, and sometimes out of ignorance. Each section has a quote (or collection of related quotes) followed by a "translation" of the quote (or a distillation of the essence of the argument, if you will) and then commentary on why this is an awful thing to say (and suggestions for things you can say instead).
