how is asexuality a sexual orientation? that's like saying death is a lifestyle

Saying "asexuality is a lack of sexuality" instead of saying "asexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by a persistent lack of sexual attraction toward any gender" would make them feel excluded, like a kid who sits alone at lunchtime. The kid wants to sit with "queer" kids, so the kid claims asexuality is a sexual orientation... the orientation lacking sexual attraction. 😄

To be fair I'd just consider it a sort of variation that you're attracted to no one but that's arguing semantics.
