Asexual People Problems

Asexuality (sometimes referred to as nonsexuality), in its broadest sense, is the lack of sexual attraction and, in some cases, the lack of interest in sex.

If asexual people can desire sex for reasons other than sexual attraction, then why does the distinction matter from a social justice perspective? Systemic oppression of a "heteroromantic asexual" individual would be impractical, as there would be no clear way to differentiate between said individual's sexual relationships and those of a heterosexual; despite this, many such individuals on Tumblr co-opt the LGBT label and claim they experience comparable oppression. Why?

A heteroromantc asexual person in a sexual relationship is quite easy to differentiate between a heterosexual person in a sexual relationship. The asexual person is not sexually attracted to their partner, whereas the heterosexual person is. It's a very simple difference.

A heteroromantic asexual person who engages in sexual activity is no less asexual, and deserves no less recognition as queer than a panromantic asexual person who is celibate.

Asexual people are fighting to be recognized as a sexuality even though asexuality is such an easy concept to understand, and has been accepted on a scientific level (which cannot be said for many socially accepted sexualities). People ignore that asexuality is a simple concept just because some asexuals aren't what people assume they are.

Asexuality is a broad spectrum, and many aces identify with the LGBT+ label, while many others do not. Many asexuals consider themselves oppressed because they face a society which looks down on them for being different; just as many other queer identities face, while other asexuals consider the level to be different and do not consider themselves oppressed. Many asexuals claim to be oppressed, even if other asexuals do not, because they have legitimate reasons to do so.

(Also, it's very rude to place an identity in quotation marks (heteroromantic asexual). It makes it obvious that you don't think the identity is real.)
