{{Warning}}[[File:Ewstinky.png|thumb|220x220px|The a-spec exclusionist "pride flag".|alt=]]'''A-Spec Exclusionists''' are individuals who believe that [[asexual]] and [[aromantic]] individuals are not or should not be part of the [[LGBT+]] community.
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.▼

===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 frustrated about being unable to find sexual partners."
*"Asexuals are straight
* "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/conditions."
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.
===Denial of Oppression===
===Demonization of Asexuals ===
===Queerphobia===
