“I knew that if I was walking into an LGBT+ support space, I could easily say that I was gay, maybe a bit more worried to say that I was transgender – but any time I’d have mentioned I was asexual, that would just lead to a lot of questions,” Ramses said.

What a delusional human being. I would say she’s troubled but it honestly sounds like she’s not and is filling some sort of personality, hobby, and/or attention void by making up problems.

Let’s be clear what these labels mean. This is a heterosexual woman in her mid-20s who experiences sexual attraction to men only (so gay) and experiences sexual attraction and arousal, but doesn’t like random sex and has to feel an emotionally connection before desiring sex with a man (how queer).

She doesn’t identify with stereotypes of femininity/women but the way her sexuality works is a female stereotype (though not one that applies to me personally).

And I swear to god Pink News wants to make us all look mentally ill by forced association with these delusional narcissists while also pretending that these fixations on flimsy identities is not a manifestation of mental illness.

Pink News doesn't have a moral compass. They are a business and will pander to whichever demographic brings in web traffic and generates ad revenue for them. If that means playing into the delusions of narcissistic straight people, then so be it. Pride Inc has finally realized there is a whole untapped demographic of angsty straight people that they can sell rainbow-colored merch to by simply giving them a made-up label. They'll spin it as motivated by inclusivity, but really it's a capitalistic move to increase the consumer base.
