I happened to be on Twitter last month and I didn’t even know it was Asexual Awareness Day, but I happened to stumble upon a tweet from JK F*cking Rowling, and she was pretty much making fun of the day and of asexuals. Something along the lines of why we need a day to tell the whole world we don’t care for sex. The comments under her weren’t any better. I’m not easily offended, but it did get to me.
Damn this is so real. I still dont understand how some people believe that asexuals dont experience discrimination. I cant stress this enough, people constantly talk about Love. They ask me if I found someone I like, about my future spouse and children. I have decided long ago that I would never marry or have sex, let alone children. But it doesnt fucking matter, they wont stop. I always got told "When I was young, I also thought that way, but look at me now" "you'll grow out of it". Even when I was a child and didnt even know the word asexual, I realise I was forcing myself constantly to do things like kissing. In elementary school, middle school and highschool, classmates would speculate on who people had crushes on. I got asked which gender I preffered, which classmates I thought were cute, and after answering, they'd speculate on how I want to have sex. And then they pretend that I'm the abnormal one. Even now when I'm older, I still get asked if I found someone, I cant take this shit anymore
