Ace Exclusionist

Someone part of the lgbtq+ community who doesn't think being asexual makes you inherently queer. This argument is obviously flawed because lack of sexual attraction makes you not heterosexual therefore you aren't straight being something else then straight you are queer. some Ace Exclusionists don't think asexuals are persecuted enough so they take matters into their own hands.
Ace 1: Damn I'm really sad today I got harassed by an ace exclusionist online.

ace 2: Ignore them you are valid!

exclusionist

another way of saying sexy smart bitches. exclusionists are people who hold exclusionary beliefs about the lgbt community, including, but not limited to, fighting against lesbian, gay, and bisexual erasure, supporting the medicalization of trans healthcare, and sticking by lgbt history.

the term originated from ace discourse on whether or not aces and aros were lgbt, but is now much broader. an exclusionist may even believe aces/aros *are* lgbt; if the rest of their beliefs are exclusionist beliefs, they are a neutralist with an extremely heavy exclus lean, and may choose to say they're exclus for convenience.

contrary to popular belief, not all exclus hate people who disagree with them. many exclus are friends with neutralists, inclus, other exclus, and anyone in-between, as long as both parties agree to disagree. the majority of them follow the classic "hate the sin, not the sinner," rhetoric, with "sins" being problematic lgbt identities.
1) Heidi is an exclusionist. She's a lesbian against lesbian erasure, sometimes called a longsword lesbian. She believes that he/him lesbians and non-binary lesbians erase lesbian history, and is overall a very sweet, knowledgable person.

2) Michael is a neutralist with an extremely heavy exclusionist lean. He is a gay man against she/her gays and non-binary gays, but thinks aces and aros are lgbt. Despite their disagreements, him and Heidi are best friends. Some people call him a galaxy-knife gay or hand-grenade gay due to his views.

3) Damien is a transgender man. He recognizes that his gender dysphoria is part of his transgenderism, as it is a direct side effect of the disconnect between his gender and sex. He is strongly against people who claim anyone can be transgender, and is extremely supportive of medicalizing trans healthcare. People like him may choose to describe themself as a "trident trans."

4) Mimi is a bisexual woman against bi erasure. She recognizes the harmful and biphobic, transphobic roots of pansexuality, and has done thorough research on the subject. She strives to educate supporters of pansexuality, omnisexuality, polysexuality, and all of its siblings. She sometimes uses the descriptor "battleaxe bisexual."

Ace Exclusionist

Loudmouthed children on the internet crying about issues that don't matter at all. They have no bearing in the real world and they are rejected by the majority of their community. Somehow, they manage to twist their own perceptions so that they believe that they are the immortal guardians of the future gay and trans people, instead of whiny brats who don't know what they're talking about and really need to go outside.
"Yeah, we had an Ace Exclusionist try to join our Pride group last week, kicked that kid to the curb"

exclusionist

An exclusionist is a person who gatekeeps (i.e. excludes) certain people or identities from a group. This is particularly prevalent in the LGBTQ+ community, but also occurs in other (usually minority) groups as well. Often times exclusionists stubbornly maintain one viewpoint without attempting to understand those they exclude, even after having their mindsets thoroughly debunked by inclusionists. Exclusionists often treat identities as "clubs" and "in-groups" that they exclude others from in order to feel more valid in their own identities, usually not realizing that those outside the group often do not understand the differences and subject all identities to judgement and oppression.
1. Penny is a pansexual exclusionist. She says that pansexuals invalidate bisexual and trangender people, but that makes no sense. She doesn't get that bisexuality is the attraction to two or more genders, and that pansexuality is the attraction that is not determined by gender, and that neither invalidates other identities.

2. You're a bisexual exclusionist because you think you can only be gay or straight, no in-between? Dude, you know that bisexuality isn't always an attraction to just men and just women, right?

3. Did you hear Andrew is an ace exclusionist? He keeps saying he excludes asexual and aromantic people from LGBTQ+ because he doesn't know the difference between asexuality and abstinence. He really needs to do some research.

4. You know that one author? Turns out she's a TERF, which means she excludes transgender people from feminism because they weren't born female. What a boomer.

5. I'm genderfluid, and use neopronouns. If you're an exclusionist and you don't think my identities are valid, don't interact!

Exclusionist

A person who thinks certain sexual orientation minorities aren't real or valid enough to be a part of the LGBT+ community for various and dubious reasons, as for example not being hated and discriminated enough or invalidating their sexuality in general. Favorite targets are asexuals, pansexuals, bisexuals... And their favorite way of fighting is by delivering a lot of said "nonexistent" hate.
I can't say for all exclusionists but I'm aiming to steal as much merch as I can this year (on Pride). And not just from vendors. Watch your bags ;)
