    Asexuality isn’t a disability but I don’t think that was what they were saying. I think they were comparing, not equating.

    And asexuality is in an odd, and perhaps similar, spot. Where it’s nice to be seen and accepted, but also to be left alone at the same time?

    I don’t think they meant anything rude is what I’m saying. Speaking as someone whose sexual preference is “no”.

      It’s the first two sentences that set tone for me.

      Especially when it’s about awareness day.

      Mentioning it in the same sentence with disabilities (especially when they go on tangent about how much it’s mentioned) when it used to be in the DSM is sus in my opinion.
