The other day, I learned about the word "asexual" in a comic book.

So I asked my family if they knew about "asexual".

My wife and senior daughter (college student) didn't know, but my junior daughter (high school student) did.

(1) "Sex" is a sex difference on a biological level

(2) "Gender" is a cultural sex difference

(3) "Sexuality" is a combination of the two, plus gender differences that include reproduction, pleasure, love, and self-expression.

Well, I have some knowledge that the so-called "LGBT" refers to the above (3).

Recently, abbreviations with more acronyms such as "LGBTQIA" are being used.

(Questioning)

(Queer)

(Inter-sex)

(Asexual)

There seems to be others.

What is asexual?

Asexuality is a sexuality in which a person is unable to have romantic feelings or feel sexual desire for another person.

It seems that friendship and love for friends and family are normal, but "romantic feelings and sexual desire" are weak or absent.

I thought I knew a lot about the diversity of sexual directions (vectors).

However, the fact that the vector was "small or absent" was completely unexpected.

I've been neglecting my studies here lately, and I'm feeling a little sorry for that.

-----

I am a person who likes to eat alone, but that does not mean that I am a person who loves solitude.

However, I do understand the discomfort of being "summarized easily" this.

I may never understand asexuality itself.

However, I believe that I can understand the discomfort of being "summarized easily" into some category for being asexual.

I will tell the guy who wants to be "summarized easily", with saying "Ebata is a person like that"

"You're an incompetent and simple idiot who can't recognize others as "diversified others", and wants to get together right away."

I don't hesitate to make him or her "summarize easily".
