Don’t Forget About Aces - On Open Letter to the LGBTQ+ Community and Allies

I was asked in a comment by another person within the LGBTQIA+ community itself on my last video to provide proof of the problems asexual folks face. So here's an expanded version of my reply - filled with receipts and examples. This isn't just addressed to that one person. This is an open letter to the entire LGBTQIA+ community and anyone who considers themselves a queer ally. At a point, I do discuss SA briefly. If this is a sensitive topic for you, please skip ahead past it to 3:31 At another point, I discuss my own past struggles in college dealing with depression and binge drinking. Again, if this is a tough topic for you, please skip from 9:16 ahead past it to 10:28 For further reading, check out the books I mentioned in the video via Bookshop.org, a website that allows you to choose an independent bookstore you wish to support through your purchase: https://bookshop.org/p/books/ace-what... of-sex-angela-chen/14953389?ean=9780807014738&next=t https://bookshop.org/p/books/refusing...
