My Therapist Said I (33F) Am Not Asexual

I told my therapist that I might be asexual. She knows I don't have sex, so she asked if I masturbated. I said yes but only for the pleasure not because I desire sex. Then she asked if I reach orgasm. I said yes. Then she said, "That means you're not asexual." I wonder if she's right. I was so happy identifying as Ace because I can relate to Aces more than both straight people and the LGBT community.

If I'm not asexual, I definitely have a much lower libido than the average person my age. I have never been sexually abused so I don't think it's trauma. I've felt this way since puberty so medications or a hormonal imbalance is not the reason either.

I was relieved when I thought I was ace because I thought it would be a good explanation for why I'm always single. I thought that I could now go on dates with other Aces and not have to worry that an Allo might get impatient with me.

I know that asexuals have their own challenges but I was relieved because I know I'd get a better reaction coming out as ace than bi. I don't want to appropriate asexuality if it turns out I'm not ace though.

I was so excited about the ace identity that I even bought a bunch of black rings on Amazon. I wanted to at least talk to other people who find romance and sex as boring as I do. I've always found romantic plots in movies, books, and songs boring as hell and if I did like them it was for a reason other than romance. I expressed this to my therapist but she shrugged it off.

I thought being asexual explained a lot about myself but what if I'm not?

Was scrolling through my camera roll and found this image I’ve had saved for like 3 years

Just poking some harmless fun at this community's occasional "inner turmoil" regarding representation and stereotyping

I was told that I’m not LGBT because I’m asexual.

I ended up on a new discord server yesterday, one for trans women in their 30s. Everything seemed fine for about a day or so, until I mentioned that I’m asexual and intensely sex-repulsed. I got yelled at like you wouldn’t believe by a lot of people in that server. They were saying that I can’t be LGBT if I’m ace, because being LGBT is a sexual identity. When I mentioned I was a trans woman, I kid you not, they told me to detransition. I added that I was married to another trans woman and they said my marriage was fake and built on lies cause marriages have to involve sex.

For context, I’m intersex, and surgically mutilated at birth, and I have no functioning genitalia. I’m takin’ this virginity to my grave. I can’t have sex, even if I wanted to. And my marriage is super happy and very romantic, and has been since we got married five years ago.

In conclusion, fuck that server and everyone in it. I’m a girl, I’m asexual, I’m sex-repulsed, I’m trans, I’m married, and I’m a lesbian, and no one can take any of that away from me.
