Why do people (meaning fedoras like these–link contains lots of anti-demisexual comments) think I’m angry when I criticize arguments against demisexuality? I am extremely calm when I do it, maybe with some mild annoyance at most. I’ve become pretty desensitized to most bullshit I will encounter via Tumblr, especially when it’s about demisexuality. Random strangers telling me my choice of sexual orientation label is fake/unnecessary doesn’t cause me anger or frustration as much as conviction to challenge them.

I have experienced sexual attraction once in my life when I was 20. It was weak and fleeting. I am 24 and am not sexually attracted to my current partner. A condition for my forming sexual attraction appears to be that I have known the person for at least a year before any sexual feelings or desires develop. A word for that is demisexuality. I’m demisexual and I’m not going away.
