Asexuality is not an orientation though.

I do know two women who've told me that they've never experienced sexual attraction. They're not TQ+ attention seeking weirdos, it's just how they're wired

asexuality is not a biological thing though. not everything needs a biological thing. everyone is trying to shove their useless, made up garbage into the "born this way" essentialism that we legitimized. if you're an "asexual homosexual" or "asexual heterosexual" then thats not a sexual orientation since it just describes your sexual orientation. and the women you know are absolutely 100% lying to you. they have much infighting and many factions. that's why they call it a "spectrum". There isnt a single true "asexual". theyre "asexual" but have thought about men..that makes them straight. or gay. they then seperate into asexuals who infight and attack because they're nymphomaniacs and cant stop having sex but dont like romance or dating. then there are the ones who have no sexual attraction but love dating and romance and it divides into 900 other categories.

again, we simply dont care. they have nothing to do with us and theyre not a sexual orientation. it's like calling "off" a television channel or bald a type of hairstyle. it's not biological and good for them. there are maybe 90000 different types of descriptors of sexuality similar to asexuality. "demi sexuality" or "sapio sexual" is closer to them than having that precious, precious, precious, precious, precious access to the label "sexual orientation". That category is worth more than gold to them hence why they get so psychotic and homophobic when they end up crashing into a wall of logic that wont let them pass.

Lmao, stop making assumptions. I know both of these women really well, one of them is my sister, neither of them are homophobic or believe in queer theory, in fact I vent to them often about the TQ+ and they're fully supportive. Theyre just women who don't experience sexual attraction, and I don't agree that they deserve to be lumped in with queer weirdos

i see you havent met the "asexual" community. First thing they do when you tell them it's not a sexual orientation is go on a homophobic rampage. How did you misinterpret what i said to mean that asexuality itself is inherently homophobic rather than the overwhelming majority of their community? They do experience attraction and yes, theyre lying. What exactly do you think the "spectrum" means? It means there are multiple ways there are attracted to people but have hang ups about it. These people have so many factions and so much infighting over who's "legitimate" and "valid" and "gatekeeping". There are nymphomaniac women calling other "asexuals" bitches because theyre not "validating" her asexuality since she sleeps with men but has no romantic attraction to them. Your sister checks out men. Asexuality is not a thing. Your sister sees the sweat drip from someone's abs. Asexuality is not a thing and never has been. But i do see serious, massive trauma with lesbians and gays where their internalized homophobia is so strong that they initially identify as asexuals....like me. and then come out as bi and then finally gay. That's our community's understanding of asexuality.
