Asexuality in Academics
Just a little bit of positivity from a university student at one of the world’s top schools:
In my psychology classes, including classes not specifically dealing with human sexuality, my professors have always acknowledged asexuality as a real thing and not as a disorder. They don’t doubt it for a minute; if you ask about it, they just look at you like, “Yeah, of course it’s real. We’ve known about it since Kinsey.”
So whenever you’re feeling invalidated or minimized, just remember that the leaders in psychology and sexology don’t doubt your existence and validity. Most of them would be very happy to hear about you and learn about your experiences.
