Hey I’m a pan ace but appear cishet cause I have a bf (I’m a woman) and I can confirm I do very much experience homophobia and being called the f slur. I understand your frustration and I’m not commenting on the right to use the f slur, but please don’t spread the rhetoric that ace people don’t experience homophobia.

I see you haven’t actually met many ace people because we absolutely are. I’ve had multiple experiences of people trying to physically assault me because they couldn’t accept that I was ace. I don’t think we should be saying any slurs, but that doesn’t mean we don’t also experience violent homophobia as well.

I think it is different if you aren’t cis het. I don’t think someone who is hetero can experience homophobia, an ace person can experience acephobia (if that’s a word)
