Because I don't want to have to continually explain my orientation to people? Like, holy shit, why the hell is this particular label a whole goddamn spectrum that I have to pull out a chart to explain??

"I'm gay", "I'm bi," "I'm lesbian", "I'm pan" — that's concise with no need to explain further! I'd LOVE to say "I'm asexual" without having them be like "Oh but you can still be kinky and have sex, right?" Literally all meaning is lost.

In a world where sex & relationships are deeply intertwined, I just want to be understood and have a space with people I can relate to without all that being something I'm forced to constantly wade through.

I don't even want to be asexual, alright? It's difficult enough as it is. I just want a goddamn word. Ffs..

Thank you.

Your last line is exactly where my frustrations lie.

I'm going to go out on a limb and feverently disagree with you here.

This is like saying "yes, gay men can still have sex with women, as long as they're not attracted to them. They're still gay! It's only a name!"

It's an awful precedent. The amount of times I've been asked if I'm "one of those asexuals who have sex" is gross. I identify as asexual because the name itself was.. what I was. I can no longer safely identify with it now because it apparently includes everybody.

Aces can have sex. Yes. There are caveats and disclaimers, but that's not untrue. But there's no such thing as "grey asexual". That's greysexual. It's a separate thing.

"Asexual" becoming "inclusive" to almost everything muddies the waters.

I'm not against sex-favorability— I am against not being able to use the label to distinguish clear what I identify as anymore. It's frustrating as hell.

Suspenders!

Hey babe!

New SuperEyepatchWolf video just dropped!

I'm going to reply with the assumption that you are unfamiliar with 4ch×n, based on your wildly unnecessary aggressive reply.

You can be an asexual virgin.

My point was: not all virgins are asexual and not all asexual folks are virgins.

Lumping asexuality in with 4ch×n-speak of "pure virgin gf = best gf because non-virgin = whore" ain't it.

I was not at all implying that asexuality was a fetish.

Ace here: no it's not. Don't drag us into incel-leanings, please.

Virgin ≠ asexual & vice versa.

That's exactly what she told me.

Plus a nice benefit package.

My friend is a technical writer and just lost her job because "chat GPT can do what you do!"

She then informed me that she knew 11 other people who got fired due to the same thing. And now those companies are realizing how badly they fucked up and are frantically trying to rehire.

It's actually illegal to add money to other people's parking meters (where I live, at least).

Disgusting that there's laws against it.

Reddit is basically a free media content farm & astroturfing paradise, at this point.
