say it with me kids: children realizing theyre lesbian, gay, or bi at a young age is not comparable to children identifying as asexual, because lgb children’s attraction is not inherently sexual and it’s old-school homophobia to suggest otherwise 

(from ‘sex is a funny word’, an acclaimed sex ed book for preteen children)

the language used to describe asexuality fits perfectly with the language children use to explore other identities.

we deserve answers from a young age. it’s straight up violence without it.
