Since then I've seen the same invalidation and ridicule levied against bisexuality, transgender folk, asexuals, and non-binary people. The same attitudes expressed towards objectums strikes me as just the same pattern and trajectory.
And in the same way homosexuality became far more acceptable and homophobia considered gauche and unpleasant, I believe the same will happen in regard to transfolk, non-binaries, asexuals, and objectums. It has already started, and attitudes towards research things have shifted a huge amount even in just the past few years.
What at present seems weird and unthinkable may in a generation be commonplace. I know many young people, and most have no issue with any of these things.
asexuals are again not comparable to objectums
Trans and non-binary people are not a sexual orientation
So these are false comparisons and frankly insulting to all the above groups
Many lgbtq+ and asexual groups I've been part of do not see it as insulting at all. A couple of asexual sexologists I've discussed the issue with see OS as non-allonormative and thus falling under the ace umbrella. Given that fictosexuality is already a fairly established microlabel under the ace umbrella, this is not surprising. Likewise, it wasn't suprising for me to meet my first ficto and OS friends on AVEN. Many OS are ace as well (and many ace are trans, NBi and/or bi). I am not cis and not heterosexual myself.
