Celebrate Intersectional Oppression on SoulAce Day
Those willing to proclaim themselves sexually abnormal qualify as oppressed. This applies not only to those who indulge in perversion but also to those with no sexual relations at all. Therefore, asexual blacks achieve intersectional oppression — enough to earn their own holiday according to one Latonya Pennington:
Given that Black asexuals get twice (or even thrice) the amount of grief, I was happy to learn about SoulAce Day, a new upcoming holiday on February 16th dedicated to celebrating African American asexuality and our contributions to art and activism.
SoulAce Day is not to be confused with International Asexuality Day (April 6) or Asexual Awareness Week (October 19 – 25). Moonbats may already have celebrations planned for tomorrow, as it is also Kyoto Protocol Day.
I want to also add that my experiences of asexuality as a mixed, light-skinned Black-Asian genderqueer person are different from monoracial dark-skinned Black asexuals who deal with colorism. However, this doesn’t negate the fact that it has still taken me years to reconcile my Blackness and my asexuality.
The solace provided by having defined herself so precisely may help Latonya endure her intersectional oppression:
Due to my Blackness and the fact that I was socialized as a woman, everyone assumed that I wanted to have sex with boys.
Latonya is not the only black asexual to be oppressed by assumptions:
Last year, Black asexual activist Yasmin Benoit faced backlash for wearing a revealing outfit while leading London’s Pride Parade. Since she is a Black woman, people assumed that she wore the clothes because she wanted sexual attention.
The outfit does not leave the impression that she was just taking advantage of the legendary London sun to get a tan.
At least asexuals might spread fewer lethal diseases than other members of the Alphabet Community.
No word yet from John Cornyn regarding whether federal employees get to take SoulAce Day off, as with George Floyd Day.
