On Asexuality, Misunderstanding, and the Pressure to Perform Sexuality
Great post. You are highlighting an issue I know very little about and that's invaluable. So, thank you.
By the way, "I don’t play oppression Olympics" is now my favorite line ever.
Thank YOU! Asexuality is sometimes called an "invisible" orientation, so whenever I'm seen, it's a win.
And I will call out the oppression Olympics whenever I deem it necessary! :)
This part hit me like a truck: What I heard was: “Go fuck yourself.” Literally. Correctively.
It’s been years and it still sticks with me. I remember asking my best friend at the time if I’d interpreted it correctly, because… he wouldn’t do that, would he? (He would.)
