Asexuality, how the rest of the people see us.

First of all I couldn't come up with a better title, but that's how I feel sometimes. Asexuality is not often talked about, but why is that? I want to make clear that I'm not an expert and I haven't run studies in this, it's my own point of view since I discovered I was asexual. Most of my teenage years I lived thinking that there was something wrong with me not wanting to have anything sexually related, not even masturbation, once I was asked how I felt when I first did so, at the age of 13 maybe? (I am 19 now), I didn't know what to answer, I didn't even know how women did it. I've had two boyfriends, but I wasn't sexually attracted to them, and I didn't want to have sex with them, just cuddle and talk for hours, the first one understood my point (though at that time I didn't know I was ace) but the second one... I started to realize two things, he was a dickhead (literally) and the second one was "I don't feel that kind of attraction". For a period of 4 years, I thought that everything had to be related to sex, I was taught that that was the way how things worked in the world, but I've always felt distant from that. When I finished my relationship with number two, I started to think, why don't I feel sexual attraction? An acquitance was sharing ace-related stuff and information, so I decided to investigate. That's how I discovered there was nothing wrong with me, that I was okay! Where do I want this to go, though? Asexuals ARE valid, we are people just like you, we just don't feel attracted to you in a sexual way, but we can also feel love. Is sex the only way yo show love? Well, if that's the case, I surely hope you don't love your cat, or your grandma... There are asexual people who may not be sexually attracted to you but anyway would enjoy having sex, does that make them less asexuals? No, it doesn't. Don't feel attacked either when they say "I just don't feel sexually attracted to you", if you're in a relationship, that doesn't mean that they love you less. If you're a complete stranger to them and come around and say "but it's the human's nature ooga booga" well?? You don't even know them to say that? Or to even feel offended! And don't go around making assumptions, you don't walk up to somone AND assume they had some sort of traumatic event during their childhood (aka being sexually abused), you're a complete stranger and make SUCH assumption? Dear, that only makes you a scum of a human. This is not only for "heterosexuals", is for everyone, some people in the LGBT+ community (known as 'gatekeepers') even insult us, because we're heteros in disguise. And, it just, doesn't make sense? Dude, we never hurt you? Calm your ass down for a while. This is for everyone, if you want to be a better human being? Learn to respect others, otherwise you'll just keep being rejected by everyone.
