#asexual

I strongly disagree with judging someone’s identity. By identity, I mean their sexuality, gender, etc. If they aren’t harming anyone, live and let live. And, not understanding someone who identifies differently isn’t a valid excuse to be judgmental either. If you don’t personally relate to it, or you wouldn’t choose that life, okay fine, but it doesn’t make it inherently non-sensical or wrong. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The way I see it, putting people in small boxes of who you think they should be/how they should identify based on your own bias, and judging them if they step outside of it, never helps anyone. It only tells those people that they can’t be themselves with you, and ultimately, they can’t trust you. 😅 I’m a firm believer that you meet people where they’re at, and you learn from each other, and grow together. And when someone has enough confidence in you to show who they truly are, listen, learn, and support them.

I’ll give you a personal example: I’m asexual, largely s*x averse, but romantically attracted to men. When I share this part of myself, people often place value judgements on how “worthy” I am of a relationship. They believe they can talk me out of it, that I haven’t found the right person yet, I’m stuck up, selfish, cold, anti-s*x, and so on. All before even attempting to understand that asexuality is different for everyone, and doesn’t always mean “anti-s*x.” 😑 It also has nothing to do with hormone imbalance, trauma, or if your body functions normally. It has to do with attraction. I don’t feel s*xual attraction to anyone, period. However, does that mean I’m a robot and feel nothing? Or that I hate any kind of affection/intimacy? Absolutely not. I’m averse to s*x itself. There’s many ways to be intimate and create a strong bond outside of that though. Heck, I’m a very affectionate person, I love hugs, holding hands, cuddling, etc, but you wouldn’t know that without taking even a moment to learn what asexuality means for me.

Point being, when you take time to truly understand someone, you can learn from that. We weren’t born hating or judging people because they identify a certain way, that comes from somewhere. I just feel like people should be free to show their true selves without others nitpicking/debating whether their existence is valid or not. If it doesn’t harm anyone else, I feel that doing so is a one way road to a lonely existence. People don’t have to tolerate or accept the box you think they are better off in, and frankly, they shouldn’t.

Asexualita existuje, ale je to v podstatě nemoc. Ale není nebezpečná, a nikdo nemůže nikoho nutit mít sex. To není jako anorexie, kdy vás to, že nechcete jíst, zabíjí. Pokud někdo prostě sex nechce a nemá ho rád, ať to nedělá. Bude mít max problém najít partnera, ledaže si najde jiného asexuála.

Ale jakoby jo, je to znamení, že je něco špatně, sama jsem byla dva roky asexuál, když jsem kvůli anorexii ztratila hormony, v jednu dobu bych nesnesla sex vůbec, pak mi nevadil s člověkem, kterého jsem milovala, ale fyzicky jsem z něj nic neměla, požitek byl čistě duševní. A když jsem se pak uzdravila, vrátila jsem se do normálu :D

Takže jo, je to ukázka, že je s člověkem jakoby něco špatně, fyzicky nebo psychicky nebo oboje, ale nikomu to neubližuje.

A po znásilnění je to naprosto normální, že má člověk nějaké trauma, které může i roky přetrvávat. Někdy i navždy. A je tedy pochopitelné, když má taková osoba se sexem problém :o

Well, for one thing, the beauty industry would be like the biggest industry in the world, as everyone would be obsessed with hair, makeup, skin care, clothing, etc… Also, everyone would be wearing dresses all the time.

People would be constantly full of creative ideas, and you’d find them writing, painting, drawing, or coming up with some crazy storyline for their Sims game. And since one of my main love languages is gift giving, I bet the world would be full of people coming up with unique gifts to surprise each other with!

---

However, I would say the medical field would struggle A LOT to keep up and provide proper care for everyone, if they required as much medical intervention as I do. It’d also be crazy expensive to do so.

---

And literally everyone would just be stumbling around all the time, cause I’m incredibly clumsy and I trip over my own feet a lot. 😂

---

Also, I bet, like your world, there would need to be a lot more electricity as I both play video games, and am on my phone or computer an awful lot. And resources would be running out quickly.

The last thing I think would be rather… interesting about a world full of my clone is, the population wouldn’t be growing at all 😆 Cause I’m asexual, so there’d be no reproduction of any kind happening. Which, not gonna lie, would be better for the planet, but also, it sounds apocalyptic cause that’s the polar opposite of our current world.
