It's a charity for young girls? Why the fuck is it talking about asexuality at all? WTF?

I liked the one Tweet that said when you take away the jargon, it's just talking about libido to little girls. Why?! Why can't kids be given time to just be little kids? There's plenty of time in life for them to learn about all the facets of human sexuality, when they have more life experience and the cognitive maturity to handle it. Of course I totally support sex education, but holy fuck, in due course. Just let kids be kids, answer any of their questions about sex in an age-appropriate manner, and slow the fuck down with throwing stuff at them that they probably didn't even ask about.

Yeah, it's just weird. I get they're trying to do it in the same way they do for gay couples, the problem is you can explain gay couples to kids the same way you explain regular couples to kids. There's no need to talk about sex at all and they shouldn't until an age appropriate time for sex ed and all that.

But with asexual there's no way to talk about it without talking about sex since an asexual relationship will look exactly the same as any other relationship on the outside.
