I thought it’d be an interesting exercise to go through the comments on the Times article about asexuality (I spoke about what I thought of the article here: https://youtu.be/-crJUVs4A-E)

After being bullied for most of my time in education, it is an issue close to my heart! I was asked to film a video for It Gets Better UK, whose goal is to prevent suicide among LGBTQ+ youth, and I thought I’d share it on my channel as well! I hope it helps someone.

Eleanor is asexual—she wants you to stop saying these five things to #asexual people. What #asexuality stereotypes are you tired of hearing?

Instead of spending a little time on a couple of drawings, I decided to spend a lot of time on ONE drawing and make it really good. I’d like to make more of these characters in the future when I have time. If I do, I’ll link them here.

Asexual Bingo
Sometimes silly, sometimes serious, and always with lots of bad language and inappropriate graphics, here is a capsule view of the kinds of comments I get on my YouTube videos and through other channels regarding asexuality. And keeping track of how much fail I encountered was made easier with the handy-dandy Asexual Bingo card. (Believe me, I’ve heard EVERYTHING on it, but I had to cut a lot of stuff even to make this video.) If nothing else, this should give you an idea of how often certain sentiments are expressed and why these people’s knee-jerk condescending comments are not helping anyone and certainly aren’t doing much but making them look like their anger and frustration toward me for not wanting to have sex is way out of proportion for what people should be expressing about some stranger’s sex life.
The opening song is “Isabella” by the Mediæval Bæbes. And yes, I am really the age I say I am in the video. And thank you, yes my hair is pretty awesome.

Need more info on asexuality? I have a book out. Buy or borrow a copy of The Invisible Orientation: http://juliesondradecker.com/?page_id…
Want to know more about why these statements/questions are inappropriate? Read the info sheet with explanations:

If we come out to you, we probably don’t mind discussing our orientation, but pretty much anything recited in this video is probably a bad idea to say to us. . . . Don’t be afraid to talk to us or ask questions, but sometimes on the sensitive topics, you might be better off doing your own research. You may also like these for further reading/watching:

This is #68 of a series in which I read correspondence between me and people who have questions, comments, or–more often–misconceptions about asexuality. In this video, I read some comments on a mainstream media article where the fellow argues that nobody should hate or harass asexuals; we should all just feel sorry for them, and by no means should we treat them like this is a normal enough way to be. The difference must be acknowledged or someone might get the idea that it’s okay to live like that or something! Sheesh! 😀
