Advice on being harassed for being asexual?
Post Body

So, I identify as asexual panromantic and I talk openly about it on my blog, and how being ace and pan are both important parts of my identity as a queer woman.

I also like to link to asexual based posts on my blog, sometimes one where someone says something like "asexuality isn't part of the LGBT community/being asexual is homophobic/asexuality isn't real" and someone else shuts them down in a response.

Lately, I've been getting harassing messages from people who are part of that "asexuals aren't LGBT" club, calling me all sorts of horrible things for talking/posting about how I consider my asexuality just as important to my queer identity as being panromantic is. I try to block them when I can but more always come and it's driving me up the wall.

It's especially upsetting becuase these are from other LGBTQIA people, and I've dealt with the "you're not really queer" thing before when I first came out as bi some years ago.

Basically, I'm kind of looking for advice on how to deal with this. It's been getting worse as of late, with people activity attacking me and my blog by name and making up false accusations (that I'm homophobic, that I drove someone to feel suicidal despite never talking to them, ect) and I don't know what to do.

Thank you for any possible help.
