After a short reflection on my own journey to embracing my aspec identity, this presentation will introduce the definition of Asexuality and several key terms. Asexuality will be discussed in the context of human diversity, amatonormativity, queer platonic and other “non-traditional” relationships, and various types of attraction. Emphasis will be placed on Asexuality as a prompt for a paradigm shift in addition to being a sexual orientation in need of embrace and recognition.
