Re: controversial opinions thread

[(Anonymous)]

Unless they've only heard it from AVEN and Tumblr, sites that are adamant that asexuality is 100% normal and even suggesting it could be a symptom of a major medical issue is "triggering." I don't care that you think it's "not my place." If what I say helps someone out of the fucking echo chamber and into treatment for an underlying disorder, I think it's worth it. Sometimes, hearing it once isn't enough. I had to hear it a shitload of times before I finally accepted that maybe, just maybe, those people were on to something.

Fair enough. I was thinking of the people I know, who've done a ton of research on the subject, but if they only go on Tumblr (again, I haven't been to AVEN in years so I don't know what it's like these days, but I know what Tumblr's like) where people tell them there's definitely not anything wrong with them then I get your point.

More to the point, suggesting someone get checked out isn't hurting anybody. If they already have? Great. If they decide not to? Up to them. But to use your argument, I don't know if they've heard that point of view before, and I'm not about to assume they have.

Alright. That's entirely your right, and I shouldn't have said you shouldn't say anything. People who've heard it a bunch will probably be annoyed, but you're right, if they've only been to Tumblr then they might not have heard it, and you could help them.

No, I did not. I had no sex drive, and I was not attracted to anyone. And for a while (8-10 years), that was my only symptom that I noticed. Once I started treatment after the other symptoms manifested (or really, after I noticed them), I had a sex drive again (I'd had one in my teens before my body and mind started falling apart), and I was attracted exclusively to women.

That's an entirely different situation than I'm talking about, which is why is I kept stressing the distinction between sex drive and sexual attraction, which I guess is part of the problem with asexuality as a label, because there's no clear cut definition.

Then perhaps you need to take your own advice and shut up when the discussion doesn't concern you.

Obviously I've upset you, and I'm sorry. I'll stop now.
