Letters to an Asexual #87 ("Asexual people are misanthropes with no soul!") @swankivy

Uploaded January 2022 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

This is #87 of a series in which I read correspondence between me and people who have questions, comments, or--more often--misconceptions about asexuality. In this video, I share three bad messages and one reasonable message about people's misconception that being asexual means a person can't have normal emotions, relationships, or attitudes toward social behavior.
