Way back in the day nobody called themselves that. Asexual was term used in biology referring to self-reproducing organisms. If you needed to communicate your lack of sexual desire you'd simply say you had no/low libido; you didn't need a special name for yourself.

But now? God knows why but we are inundated with people absolutely consumed with identity and labels. "Oh I'm quasi-panaromantic but only on Tuesdays and every other day I'm demixenosexual and here's my special flag please respect my pronouns" and holy shit if there was ever a group of people that needed regular bitch-slapping it's these obnoxious motherfuckers.

And “gender” was just the polite term for “sex.”

Gee, our old LaSalle ran great…

And trannies were a rare breed who had an actual clinical illness, and were not conflated with transvestites who were much more like the vast majority of trannies are now.

I would say the majority of 'trans' people I encounter are the 'non-binary' flavour who just want to feel special about being unappealing.

That's still sort of an offshoot of transvestism. It's an "identity" thing. Transsexual disorder isn't even remotely similar.

In the old days, a man who lost his nut sack was called a 'eunuch'.

And, the eunuchs community was pretty quiet about their status.

Most were comfortable with their flaccid pouchless phallus.

It was obvious to all that the grass was much greener on their side of the vaginoplasty fence.
