I could get on board with your saying that demisexuality isn't an orientation in the sense that gay/straight/bi/etc. are, that it's not queer and it's not marginalized, but you don't stop there. You then go on to say that it's not a real label at all (while, ironically, incorrectly defining it).

Demisexuality isn't being asexual with exceptions. It's not having a low libido. It's not slut-shaming or thinking you're ~above people who have casual sex (and people who do act that way are assholes). It's having sexual attraction work differently for you. It's having no idea whether a person is physically attractive or not, because the only things that affect you sexually are emotions. It's about attraction, not behavior or sex drive. This isn't actually a difficult concept, if you know the difference between finding someone attractive and wanting to have sex with them. Demisexuality is about the former, but you seem fixated on the latter.

i didn't label it incorrectly. the literal definition is feeling sexual attraction only to people whom you've formed an emotional connection with. that doesn't make you special. you don't need a special label.
