I'd say that oppressed is definitely too strong as a word for the treatment of asexuals since the issue is that few people truly understand what asexuality is, there's no background or history or discussion around it - it's just people not understanding and being assholes. That said, people being assholes still hurts especially when they're people you care about.

Me personally, I've been tempted to come out to my family for a while but known that I'd need to "come out" as aromantic and ace as well and that's what scares me because I know I'll need to explain to them from the ground-up what that is and there's a strong chance that they'll think I've been deluded by some internet feminist rubbish and say I'll meet a nice person one day. It's not that there's an oppressive system working against you so much as people genuinely don't understand and then dismiss your own feelings about your sexuality as crazy.

I agree that it's not oppression basically but that doesn't mean there's no hurt at all.

Forgive me, I don't understand this part:

"I've been tempted to come out to my family for a while but known that I'd need to "come out" as aromantic and ace as well"

Do you mean "come out" as asexual, and ace and asexual are not the same thing? Or are you identifying as aromantic, assexual, and also gay?

Not a leading question. Just trying to follow.

Bit of a late response but the latter! If I only mentioned being near exclusively attracted to women, I kinda feel that would be missing the more important part - the I am not interesting in dating or sleeping with anyone part.
