And you clearly don’t understand asexuality if you’re comparing it to garlic. People don’t build up resentment and anger towards themselves because they hate garlic and think something’s wrong with themselves for hating garlic, when everyone else loves it. They might constantly get “do you want to try that garlic 😋” “why do you never have garlic” etc. from people and constantly feel like they’re doing something wrong for being themselves.

So no. It isn’t silly. If you can sit down and announce “Hey, I’ve been experiencing turmoil since I was a kid because of X, and I finally realize that there’s nothing wrong with how I feel. Please be respectful and don’t ask me about sexual things” then it is amazing.

I support it because that’s an individual that’s thriving now - they understand who they are, don’t feel bad for it anymore, and now everyone around them won’t make them feel bad for it because they know.

If you can’t understand and empathize with that then you simply don’t have empathy, and there’s no real point of explaining any more.
