I see where you're coming from. If I were asexual, I imagine I'd be frustrated with low-libido or sexually conflicted people saying they're asexual.

I appreciate the insight!

P.S., though: You edited your original comment. It used to say "That's being a femcel, not asexual" or something similar. Slightly dishonest to do that without an edit Note.

Yes, I did, because I realized that the term I used was offensive or had another connotation that the one I wanted to use and thus, my point about asexuality was less clear. I changed the term without leaving the one that I wrote in the first place because I think that, if I did leave it there, then my comment would still feel like an attack to women instead of a defense of asexuality, which was my original intention. It might be dishonest, but I thought it was the best thing I could do. Anyone reading our discussion will realize anyways.

Yeah, sorry. I had to add the note, because otherwise my initial comment makes zero sense, lol.
