you tell people that you're asexual and immediately they act like you're some kind of innocent being obsessed with purity. it's like they see sexual desire as the main marker of maturity - so if you're aspec, they'll start treating you like a four year old??
people are so casually aphobic, honestly. i will admit that i have met some people that are chill with it, but a lot of people seem to start filtering their conversation after i tell them :(
