Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen
informative
reflective
fast-paced
5.0
trigger warnings: homophobia, transphobia, acephobia
This book is so uniquely insightful. As an ace person this was so perceptive and gave a lot of detail on how asexuality is affected by a culture that revolves around sex. It also analyses asexuality through the lens of race, disability, gender/presentation, class and more. It's super thorough and very very well put.
I wonder what could be added to the book if the author had a cowriter who was ace and non hetero-romantic though.
