[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asexual is basically the same an non-binary. It's extremely common; my daughter has the same pin on her backpack. She's just a nerd who likes to draw. The labeling craze where you are expected to "identify" as categories has driven this (and the entire alphabet salad that comes after LGB). It used to be these girls were shy and introverted, now they're asexual. My sense is that it won't last, but then again, our society seems to be moving more and more online, so who knows.[/quote]

Not true at all.

One is about who you are sexually attracted to (if anyone), the other is about how you self-identify.

Please get educated, I feel bad for your child![/quote]

I’m not the PP, but I think what they meant was that these two identifications are very common among a certain type of young person these days. Sometimes separately, sometimes in tandem. And I agree with them, based on what I’ve observed among my child’s peers.[/quote]

I also agree.  What I observe is about 98 percent of the self-labeling is occurring among girls who go through puberty and look around and realize being a sexualized woman blows in our culture and so they’re finding ways to pro-actively opt out.  Doesn’t mean they will forever.
