pisa So? People post stuff here ALL the time from dodgy sources, doesn't mean their work isn't useful or that it isn't widely accepted as an explanation of something. You don't have to love Kinsey as a person, but his work is widely accepted as a good explanation of sexual attraction. There's also the purple-red scale, but you probably wouldn't like that either as it was created by an asexual person.
Flora If someone wanted to ID as an asexual homosexual, then I'd accept that, it's a useful way to get other people to understand what you mean. But by definition you can't be both, but you can ID however you feel comfortable.
Lass What level of evidence would you need? Like, there's books, studies, personal experiences, she was a researcher into discrimination, not sure what level of academic you'd find acceptable, it's not like she's a random person on tumblr.
Olennas 1) I'm not saying it's not illegal, just that it is discrimination. 2) I think that's part of it, but also the fact that asexuality isn't often discussed or understood leads to people feeling that there's something wrong with them or that they are weird/alone. Obviously not like that's the intention of society, but it's also not being addressed on any meaningful level. 3) Yeh, I think it's 'if the people know' it's more likely, same with being gay. 4) Yeh, this is important I think, cause abstinence is not the same at all (it's a choice) and young people who just don't experience sexual attraction are at more risk from peer pressure or isolation/feeling 'strange'. 5) Like, viewed as not fully human (sex is seen as a key part of being human) or as immature/permanent children, less able to understand complex relationship dynamics, or as 'tease's.
