harmful to youth such as my 13 y o self when i was told that I was asexual demiromantic bc I was a literal child children normally don’t have sex drives (traumatic hypersexuality ain’t included obv) so it took a while to realize “hey! I like women” since I was led to believe-
That the “filthy allosexuals” were gross for ya know, wanting to have sex. So while asexuality exists, y’all ain’t oppressed and there is rampant homophobia in the Asexual community
