Scenario

When your asexual experience doesn't match community stereotypes

Everyone assumes that because I'm asexual I must be repulsed by sex, but I'm not, I just don't feel sexual attraction and now I don't know where I fit in my own community.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Even within marginalized communities, the pressure to conform to expected narratives can create additional layers of alienation for those whose experiences don't fit prescribed patterns.
