Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen
2.0
as asexual i have many thoughts and feelings about it and many of them aren’t positive however i won’t be getting into it. this is just the general problem of the book that i thought of while reading:
i have the same problem with this book as i have with any discussion on asexuality and it’s too much emphasis on sex-neutrality and sex-favourability. allo people are way more accepting of people with sex-neutrality and sex-favourability because they don’t have to think about asexual label as anything special or important. allo people can not understand sex-repulsion and therefore can’t understand asexuality.
this book is highly recommended and highly praised but it barely challenges any minds of allo people for whom this book is intended and so i cant praise it.
