There are a strange amount of people who seem to hate the idea of asexuality and this unfortunately includes people from all swaths of life like the LGBTQ+ community. I've seen too many gay people say hurtful, and frankly hypocritical, things along the lines of asexuality not existing and being more akin to a disease. It seems that while more people have become aware and accepting of homosexuality, they still don't understand asexuality and it scares them. Sad really. But luckily there are still lots of kind souls out there that will be accepting of anyone who's accepting in return. Maybe they can show everyone else the way...
Honestly I don't understand it. Most likely don't. But it's also it's none of my business what consenting adults choose not to do.
Really the arguments are no different to any sexual interest. As long as the people are happy and consenting adults. I do not need to understand.
Yeah, I've seen it from hypersexual people who seem to have unprocessed shame and need to believe their own behaviour is justified by being a universal human trait. The existence of asexuality threatens that.
