Are asexuals 'fake oppressed'? **Mod Note in Post #221**

I get pretty tired of those who feel they need and want attention at all times for being ',them'.

Who the £@@@ cares. Go do whatever it is you want to do, or not as the case maybe, and leave others alone.

This need to shove you're label into another's face is boring and bloody tedious.

I admire JK Rowling.

We need more like her who aren't afraid to speak out. I appreciate she hadn't much to lose unlike Graham Lenihan, who lost so much just by voicing his opinion.

Liberals. I wish they had the intelligence to know the meaning of the word.

I don't think people are outraged, I think people are just pointing out how nonsensical this international asexual day is.JK Rowling seems to be taking the piss out of it rather than being outraged by it.

Did I write chloroform?? Typo, I think - clearly I meant chlorophyll. The point being that asexual reproduction is a thing for plants, but that doesn't mean it's meaningful for humans - because we can't reproduce asexually, any more than we can produce or use chlorophyll.

In other words, humans cannot be asexual. They can be atheists because religion is a belief. Sex is not.

Amoral - no morals, but again that refers to a philosophy.

I don't know what Amensia means, perhaps amnesia? (which is ironic considering you're complaining about my typo!) but loss of memory is a thing that exists. Loss of sex, not so much. Loss of sex drive, sure - but that already has a name, it's an absence of libido. Such people are not asexual though - they are either male or female.

When you have to invent other posters' opinions, you don't have a point.

People who don't feel sexually attracted to anyone should be the least offensive demographic on the planet. They will literally die out.

It's endlessly disappointing to see someone with the wealth and intelligence of Rowling just take an online sh*t on some group for no apparent reason other than... she can?

Yeah but there is no 'asexual' group, so what your accusing her of doing didn't happen, because it can't happen.

She's mocking something that doesn't exist, which means you are getting off on chastising her for criticizing something that doesn't exist, which is hilarious.

There is no such thing as 'asexual experts' who are in a position to make everyone 'aware' that 'asexuality' exist. It's all made up nonsense.

No.

Asexuality is being promoted as a thing these last few years becasue puberty blockers and transition hormone treatment screw with peoples natural sex drive, and to explain away these negative side effects asexuality has been invented as an identity to hide the truth.

Asexuality is not a thing, some just have a low sex drive, in some cases man made as said.

There is no 'asexuality group'. Such a notion is total nonsense.

JK Rowling is utterly right to mock this nonsense. Everyone should do it.

Some people like brunettes, some like blondes, some like big tits, some like a combination of the above. Some are not turned on by anything.
Should we have parades for every group and combinations of groups? Except for those that don’t like parades of course.

Asexual awareness day, what a ridiculous concept, based around an idea about people who have decided not to indulge in a bit of nookie. I mean you could make up an awareness day for people who abstain from any practice, sexual or otherwise.

(Not talking about assault like the autistic poster above, fearful of sex), just the concept of having an awareness day for those who have decided on a lifestyle not to indulge.

Interesting, however I've just read #226 which puts a totally different complexion on things!

Seeing as I only heard of asexual for the first time today (in this thread) I'll reserve judgement on my opinion as to what the truth really is.

Thanks.

Long as I dont have to constantly hear about it then have at it. Same as with international donut day or whatever. If its something I can click off and never know about again then peace, if it follows me around like a harvey norman ad I will rightly rant against it.

I wouldnt go so far as to tweet about it, yet. But Rowling is adjacent to such issues so has more reasons to.

Ive long followed a middling profile comedian who is in a relationship with a trans, and he has been known to attest in no uncertain terms to the wanton annoyingness and preachiness of sexual identity communities/movements. From what I see he loves his partner very much yet still wont hold back on sexual identity communities, so I dont think anyone is alone in quietly wishing that some of these flag movements would just shut up about it.
