Didn't I just said that asexuality is not sexual orientation? And it is not gender either. It is tied with sexuality, but that is it. Asexuality is mostly pressured in a way that people may think asexual person is LGB or pressure to get married, etc. So problems are different to sexual orientation problems. And unlike sexual orientation, it can change, appear or dissapear, or last whole life (as I was sexually active until 6-7 years ago, until I decided I want to be alone for some time, and that time not ended yet).

At least by the old description/meaning of the therm, maybe TQ+ created new meaning to it, I don't know. But even if we think of asexuality of sexual orientation that is "inherent sexual and romantic attraction to no one" - homophobic countries still will not hate you for being alone. Only problems can be in countries like China, where having kids and being married is required, but that is same pressure as on everyone, not specifically asexuals.
