It is probably more about recognition, most people (in their minds) don’t recognize asexuality. Many folks thought I had something wrong with me (do you know how many erectile dysfunction or micropenis jokes I had to endure?) or I was attracted to them and was trying to hide it.
Yeah I get that and agree, but I think that language is important in these situations. That’s about something that has nothing to do with rights and minimalizes the actual civil rights issues that we DO have by association. I agree that education is important, but that has nothing to do with a legal fight for rights.
I like this thread/comic but I’m legitimately confused by ‘ace rights’ did we start forcing people to fuck or something? I hadn’t noticed lol
