(this page is entirely unsourced and, as one comment on it points out, reads like an angry rant rather than an article about a serious topic. I might go and look for sources, but for now, I've tried to relativize it a bit (although that took a lot of wikipedia:wp:weasel words, but I think that's still better than the previous state, which was wholly inappropriate for a potentionally controversial topic such as this)) |

This ideology is often due to the claim that the the LGBT+ community is for individuals who are "same gender attracted" (SGA). This ideology also ignores the m-spec individuals who are ''not'' attracted to their own gender (ie: a woman who likes [[Male|men]] and [[agender]] individuals.)
== Exclusionist Ideology ==▼
Because exclusionism is fairly widespread, there are many different types of exclusionist ideology. This ranges from the belief that asexual people should make their own community to the belief that asexual people do not exist. The following list will cover the most common exclusionist beliefs.▼
Individuals who are for the inclusion of [[A-Spec|a-spec]] individuals are called [[Inclusionist|inclusionists]], and the argument between the two groups is often called "ace discourse" or simply "discourse".
▲==A-Spec Exclusionist Ideology ==
The word ''cishet'' was originally used by trans people to refer to someone who is [[cisgender]], [[Straight|heterosexual]], and heteroromantic. However, it was adopted by exclusionists as a [[wikipedia:dogwhistle|dogwhistle]] referring to members of the [[asexual spectrum]] (ace-spec people). Originally, it was only used that way to mean heteroromantic asexuals or aromantic heterosexuals, but for some exclusionist it has come to mean [[aroace]] people (aromantic asexuals) or even all a-spec people. Some exclusionists claim to be accepting of [[transgender]] a-spec people and people who experience same-gender attraction as well as being a-spec, but exclusionists may also harass a-spec people regardless of their other identities.▼

▲The word
Some exclusionists will claim that asexuals do not exist, for a variety of supposed reasons. Some of the most common include:▼
* Asexuals are frustrated about being unable to find sexual partners▼
* Asexuals are straight people who want to be "special" or invade LGBT+ spaces▼
* Asexuals are gays or lesbians who do not admit to their orientation because of internalized homophobia▼
* Asexuals are children too young to experience sexual attraction▼
* Asexuals are sexually repressed or have hormonal disorders▼
Many claim that [[Demisexual|demisexuality]] and other ace-spec identities do not exist because "it's normal to not want to have sex with everyone you see", completely missing the point of ace-spec identities or misinterpreting their own unrecognized demisexuality as a universal experience.▼
Some a-spec exclusionists claim to be accepting of [[transgender]] a-spec individuals and individuals who experience same-gender attraction as well as being a-spec, but a-spec exclusionists may also harass a-spec individuals regardless of their other identities.
Similar claims are used against members of the [[aromantic spectrum]], such as claims that aromantics are men unwilling to form emotional attachments and only interested in very short-term sexual relations like [[wikipedia:one-night stand|one-night stand]]s. They may also make fun of aromantic terminology, such as [[Queerplatonic Relationship|queerplatonic relationships]], and [[aplatonic]] aromantics. They may claim that aromantics have no friends or do not understand friendship.▼
===Denial of Asexuals===
▲Some ace-spec exclusionists will claim that asexuals do not exist, for a variety of supposed reasons. Some of the most common 'reasons' include:
▲* "Asexuals are gays or lesbians who do not admit to their orientation because of internalized homophobia."
▲Many claim that [[Demisexual|demisexuality]] and other ace-spec identities do not exist because "it's normal to not want to have sex with everyone you see", these arguments typically completely
▲Similar claims are used against members of the [[aromantic spectrum]]
Some may claim that asexuality and aromanticism only act as quasi-modifiers to one's attraction, denying the existence of aromantic asexuals.
