The fact that while my orientation isn't well known it's already developed stereotypes that fuck up how I interact with others.
Because I'm asexual I must:
- Not like sex at all ever.
- Not like to talk about sex ever.
- Not like it when people check me out.
- Be uncomfortable around "sexuals."
- Never want to engage in sex at all.
- Have no desire or reason to have sex.
- Not be flirty at all for any reason.
- Never want to have sex with someone.
Holy fuck, people. Stop this. Just because I'm asexual doesn't mean any of those.
The only thing being asexual means is that I do not experience sexual attraction. The rest of these purported traits are simply stereotypes. Not all gay men have sex indiscriminately. Not all heterosexual men only want women for sex. Not all asexuals lack a sex drive.
Putting in a page break to warn my sister that she may find the rest of this post awkward to read.
