Can anyone give me a coherent explanation for why a lack of sexuality in asexual is included in a group centering around sexuality?

I'm sure somebody could give you an explanation, I'm not sure any would be coherent. Mostly just people with fucked libidos/regular libidos in a world that seems to be telling them they should have fucked libidos trying to pretend they've historically faced the same problems as actual gay people. I've seen someone try to claim asexuals suffered corrective rape too, which just no.

Dude I've heard this too! That same person claimed that asexuals have historically suffered the same prejudice as gays and lesbians, and it's just like... where?? I would even be amenable to changing my mind if these kinds of people can provide even ONE example in all of world history where this was the case, but so far none. So shocking!

What's funnier is when they claim that of shit like demisexual. Doesn't happen. Nobody has ever been disowned for being demisexual. No parent has ever told their child "What do you mean you need to develop an emotional bond before feeling sexually attracted to someone? In this house we fuck on the first date!"

And why doesn't the alphabet soup include a J for Jewish people? Don't they know Jews are a "historically marginalized" identity too? What a bunch of anti-semites! /s
