Because I don’t want to have to continually explain my orientation to people? Like, holy shit, why the hell is this particular label a whole goddamn spectrum that I have to pull out a chart to explain??

“I’m gay”, “I’m bi,” “I’m lesbian”, “I’m pan” — that’s concise with no need to explain further! I’d LOVE to say “I’m asexual” without having them be like “Oh but you can still be kinky and have sex, right?” Literally all meaning is lost.

In a world where sex & relationships are deeply intertwined, I just want to be understood and have a space with people I can relate to without all that being something I’m forced to constantly wade through.

I don’t even want to be asexual, alright? It’s difficult enough as it is. I just want a goddamn word. Ffs…
