It always makes me sad to see how hateful others can be to aces

How do I explain to a 5year old
My niece keeps asking when I’m going to get married. In fairness just about everyone she knows in the family is married or in a long term relationship, however I’m AroAce, more than happy single and never intend to marry. She’s asked several times and I’ve tried explaining that I’m not wired/designed/made that way, that I have no one to marry, I’m not interested in getting married and yet I get the question again. And while I know it’s not her fault it is starting to feel invalidating, she is only 5 and not to my knowledge familiar with LGBTQ+ things much past some people have two mommy’s/daddy’s.
Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences in explaining to young children about being ace or aro that will stop the question but won’t overstep her parents boundaries.
Many thanks in advance.

Does anyone else really like physical touch??
So, I identify as asexual, but I also really like physical touch. I really like to cuddle, and I like holding hands, hugging, etcetera. Most of the ace people I've met don't like people touching them, and I'm wondering if anyone else likes physical touch?
Edit: I don't like people touching me if I don't know them, and I only like people touching me if it's not sexual.

Making a YouTube video about Asexuality….need questions
I’ve been making YouTube videos about Asexuality since 2015 and am in the process of making a video about Asexuality in a broad sense.
I would absolutely love it if some of you have any questions that I could possibly use and cover in the video. It could be questions you’ve personally been asked as an Asexual, or it could be questions you personally have about Asexuality. I feel it would be really interesting to cover a broad spectrum of questions here.
Thank you in advance!

Sexual fluidity is exhausting
What little sexual attraction I felt is gone. So I am a black stripe I guess. I mean yeah the guy’s hot but other than that there’s just nothing. No reaction.
Sexuality is exhausting.
Just wanted to put this somewhere.

Why do people insist on saying they’ve become asexual or someone made them asexual
