Why are people questioning my ability to consent to sex?

Post Reply New Topic

Someone made up a lie about my ability to consent to sex and was very ableist saying to me saying this, Of course they ghost you. You're giving up everything without even speaking to them for a while so why would they call you back? Your mental status is clearly that of a child which would scare tf out of any real man. How old does your Dr's and therapists say your mind is? Bc you're almost 30 still living at home & dont have the ability to make your own medical decisions. That's terrifying for any man who sleeps with you bc it can potentially lead to a charge. This is completely not true and out of the line for them to say that. Why are they saying I deserve to be ghosted by guys because they think my mental status is like a child and think the guy will be charged for having sex with me? I am very high functioning and had sex many times. I am capable of making decisions. Why would they say this to an autistic person when this isn’t true? What are my rights if they are slandering me like this? The problem is they never met me in my life and don’t know what I have accomplished and how good of a person and how sweet I am and had plenty of boyfriends. This is affecting my mental health and I don’t deserve to be ghosted because of my disability and people’s misconceptions about me. What should I do about this?

Tell them that you enjoy sex.

Sorry to hear that you are being demeaned in this way.

How well do you and this person (the one slandering you) know each other? In what context do you know each other?

For example, do you know this person in-person or just online? If in-person, where and how did you meet? Do you know this person well, or are they just a casual acquaintance? Have you known this person for a long time, or did you meet this person just recently? Are they a longtime friend, a family member, a co-worker, or a person with any other specific role in your life, or just a random person?

Your answers to these questions will affect the appropriate way to respond.
