I’m willing to believe asexuality exists, however I see it as more of a symptom of a mental illness, something resulting from trauma, or a health problem.

Or as a synonym with low libido, which does not equal no sexual attraction.

a symptom of mental illness

Pretty much everyone I met on Tumblr identified as asexual, so checks out.

I feel like there is less than 0,9% based asexuals (just no libido, no problem for them) and rest of people identifying with that term is mental illness, Tumblr, etc. In some cases of the bigger, not based part, trauma too.
