I'm Asexual. I don't consider myself LGBT and really don't want to be involved with that community due the politics and highly-sexual nature of it.

THIS

Asking asexuals to be exposed to real-life sexual behaviours, which make them feel uncomfortable and even repulsed is abusive.

IT NEEDS TO STOP

Of course. I'll still advocate for their healthcare in that libido that is nonexistent can be viewed as a medical anomaly and could possibly be caused by an underlying health condition. Better safe than sorry, and they can remain asexual with more information about their health.

However, I feel awful that OP isn't able find a group of others that feel the same way that isn't hijacked. In that case it's probably just best to find groups that are based exclusively on interests where sex isn't a topic likely to come up.
