What can sexual people do to make asexual people feel valued and accepted?

Simple. Acknowledge that asexuality exists.

But how does one go about that?

  • Watch your blanket statements when it comes to sexuality, especially when it comes to comparing lack of sexuality with lack of humanity or suggesting that “everybody” needs sex.
  • Make sure it gets represented in academic discussions or surveys of sexuality if you have the power to do so.

  • Refrain from assuming that everyone who’s single is trying desperately to be otherwise (as aromantic asexuals don’t want to date), and if an asexual brings up the subject just try to be your brand of accepting. You can approach people in general without assuming they are sexual until proven otherwise.
