A for Asexual

I must admit that my eyebrows raised when I heard that "A" was added to the PRIDE agenda. A for Asexual. I've defended asexual orientation in the past for individuals coming to terms with their disinterest in sex, but I didn't fully understand the idea of identifying with that which is not present. Shae Collins, the writer of A Womyn's Worth, writes an honest conviction for an affirmative Asexual identity:  How I Confront Sex Positivity and Consent as an Asexual Feminist.

"I WASN’T QUITE SURE HOW MY FEMINISM WAS SUPPOSED TO INCLUDE A SEXUAL ORIENTATION THAT WOULD, WITHOUT HESITATION, CHOOSE A PIECE OF CAKE OVER SEX."

I get it. Put the A up on the Identity Flag. As I've written before, there's always enough room.
