Here are a few I’ve heard:

  • “Identifying as demisexual is just a form of slut-shaming”
  • “‘Demisexuality’ is just the human norm, most people don’t fuck someone they just met”
  • “Asexual claims of discrimination are an insult to the Black Americans who struggled in the Civil Rights Movement”
  • “Anyone who identifies as asexual is either an incel in denial or has a medical problem that needs to be cured”

    I’m a cis bi guy in college, with mostly straight male friends

    People have straight up told me they assumed I must be some male-manipulator player who sleeps around a lot. Like they genuinely think people are bi to maximize the amount we get laid?

    I told a friend I’ve only been with one person because I’m only interested in relationships and haven’t felt in the headspace for one, and he straight up thought I was kidding

    Also, I’m pretty masculine, so a lot of people assume I must be “mostly straight,” with maybe a little attraction to femboys. And when I tell them I’m equally into women and gay men, they seem to think that means I probably won’t wanna settle down with one person. (imagine if people assumed this for anyone attracted to different ethnicities or hair colors??)
