Scenario

When mental health professionals pathologize asexual identity

My therapist keeps trying to explore my 'intimacy issues' even though I've explained I'm asexual, like she thinks it's something to fix rather than who I am.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Medical authority figures who frame asexual identity as dysfunction rather than variation inflict harm while claiming to heal.
