"For Ms Li, the most important achievement of the group is affirming that nobody is alone in his or her experiences.
“We exist. We look invisible, but we’re normal people. We’re just regular people walking around, nothing special,” she says."
Then why do you need to label yourself and form a group and even have a flag and wear black ring to identify yourself? It is because you want to be special isn't it?
"“Sometimes it’s nice to be in an environment where you don’t have to keep explaining your identity to people – most people already understand,” says Mr Lau."
Seems like they are the ones who constantly want to explain their identity to people because the truth is nobody cares?
"Dr Tan adds that past research in psychology indicates that asexuality should not be “pathologised” (treated as an illness) as there is no impairment to daily life, and being asexual does not result from trauma."
Doctor say doesn't do anything to make you different
"“Instead, distress might arise from the stigma of having a minority identity and might explain feelings of loneliness and alienation from others,” he says. “Interestingly, emerging research highlights how support for asexuals can be linked to higher life satisfaction.”"
Then don't force that identity on yourself and don't keep wanting people to accept your identity and you will feel happier. If not, only the hetero ppl selling you the black rings and the flags will be happy.
Seems like a nothingburger that is being pushed to people to eat once again. What's next, support for people who feel song when picking nose? What do we call them, Golddiggers? Green and yellow flag? Ring made of peesai? Come on.
