reddit conventional "wisdom" on asexuality

On other subs, when a thread OP/submitter suggests they may be asexual, these are the kinds of replies they usually get. It's a rare thread that doesn't go this way.

The reddit conventional "wisdom" is that 1) asexuality doesn't exist, 2) your condition is due to trauma or mental illness or internalized misogyny/misandry, 3) you should find a psychologist who can diagnose and treat you, 4) if a psychologist doesn't identify any trauma or mental illness, you need to keep trying different psychologists until one does, no matter the cost--it's not as if redditors will foot the bill.

Also 5) you're a lesbian even though you're not sexually attracted to women / gay even though you're not attracted to men.

6) don't give up!!! Because considering an asexual-spectrum orientation is considered "giving up" according to reddit.

Bonus: 7) you're repressed due to a religious background (because all religions are sexually repressive according to reddit). 8) "It's okay to be a sexual being! You just need to open up!"

9) "I used to think I was asexual, too, but anti-depressants cured my asexuality" but also 10) "My anti-depressants kill my sex drive and make me asexual". I've even seen one discussion a few years ago in which someone who had never been diagnosed with depression, and who wasn't prescribed anti-depressants, was told to buy anti-depressants from friends to see if it would fix their asexuality.

I've seen discussions that didn't go this way, but they're rare.

What genre of music do you like?

Rock isn't on here as it is too wide an umbrella term.

Just went on a date with allo and I'm shocked.

He watched YouTube videos on asexuality before seeing me, to better understand what I am! Not only that, he asked questions and compared his experiences to mine, and he wasn't condescending!! I didn't hear any of the usual "maybe you haven't met the right guy" crap.

To some it might seem like nothing, but it was so refreshing to experience that. What a decent lad

My partner and I just announced our engagement this weekend! 16 years together, both somewhere on the Ace spectrum, and it just made sense. I made cookies to celebrate. :D

I just finally got these pride rings in the mail today. They hopped across the Atlantic a few times for some reason. I'm stoked to be wearing these now.

We finally broke up!

I'll never be groped or touched without my permission again, never have to awkwardly laugh at sexual jokes again, never have to feel bad for not wanting sex again! We tried to communicate so many times, but it just never really worked. Finally she can have someone who can fulfill her needs, and I can have some space to explore what my orientation means to me. It feels like a whole partition of my brain has been unallocated and I can think and breathe for the first time in years. I just needed to happy-vent somewhere, this is one of the many reasons why we broke up and I don't know if I'll be able to share this particular one with people irl. And thank you all for helping me realize my true feelings by sharing yours, subs like these have been incredibly helpful in letting me explore and express myself.
