We will examine the unique challenges faced by asexual individuals, particularly regarding sexual and interpersonal violence. We will highlight how asexuality is often erased, or even ostracized within queer communities, leading to misconceptions and a lack of visibility that can leave survivors without adequate support. By addressing these intersections, we aim to foster a more inclusive conversation around consent, trauma, and identity, ultimately advocating for a more supportive environment for all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Learning Outcomes
- Define asexuality, recognize prevalent misconceptions, and assess current representation in media and culture to deepen understanding of its visibility within the LGBTQ+ community.
- Understand the impact of erasure on conversations around sexual violence and interpersonal dynamics in the Ace community, exploring the unique vulnerabilities asexual individuals face.
- Identify actionable strategies to support asexual individuals in queer spaces, including inclusive language and practices, while amplifying asexual voices in advocacy to foster inclusive, supportive communities.
