Why do you even go on to those places? Obviously the entire foundation of LGBT shit is sexual preferences and identity. And to be more specific and blunt, it is about sexual deviancy and disorders. Anti sexual groups would obviously be religious, or family oriented. It is illogical and extremely arrogant for you to want to "reform" a sexual identity group on the basis that they titled their group "not a sexual identity group". Sure it's a misnomer, but the mistake to take it literally is yours.

To talk about sexual trauma join a sexual trauma support group. To talk about a particular sexual deviancy characterized by the lack of sexual drive and or ability to engage in sex join a group that identifies as asexual.

Seriously? "To talk about a particular sexual deviancy characterized by the lack of sexual drive and or ability to engage in sex"

You would say that someone who doesn't have a sex drive is a "sexual deviant?" I would say they're almost all people suffering from trauma or a medical issue!

The word deviant does not mean what you think it means. It is normal for people to have a sex drive. Not having one deviates from the norm. Prepubescent kids do not have a sex drive and they do not identify as asexual or seek out conversations about it.

True, but when used in regular conversation and not in a science/medical setting, the word has a somewhat different and negative connotation.

Because it is used instead of degenerate and depraved in polite conversation. Picking a different word because this one has been sullied just does the exact same thing to the next word. Retarded used to be the polite way to say stupid. We need to stop destroying things in the name of politeness.
