I do think Asexuals should get a space of their own. I don’t think the entire site should have to repress its sexuality when it’s already weirdly puritanical on that end. I also find it odd for asexuals to be incorporated into LGBTQ comm when sexuality is literally the defining criteria for the comm.
I think GSM (gender and sexual minorities) is perhaps a more accurate label. The community is about being different from the cishet majority, unless you're suggesting straight trans people should be excluded too?
I’m not sure I understand. Why wouldn’t straight trans people be part of an lgbtq comm?
Are you suggesting being trans is a sexual thing?
They probably forgot to write the "straight" part when you were replying to the comment.
That's correct. The criticism is still valid though.
