Asexual Elitism

Through my life as an asexual, I've had the same question quite a few times. Some people have looked into asexuality after I've given them my best explanation, and they all seem to have the same question.

Why do asexuals always seem to think they're better than everybody else?

This behavior is called Asexual Elitism. I have a few statements to make on this.

a.) People who act like this are not representing asexual people as a whole. Most of us are actually quite agreeable.
b.) It's not our, or anybody else's, place to tell people how "pure" and "good" they are. People are made up of their choices, their morals and what they believe is right. Just because somebody is ace doesn't mean they're better.
c.) Among AVEN, the Asexuality Visibility and Education Network where most asexuals gather, asexual elitism is quite frowned upon and discouraged.

That was my rant for today. I know, short blog post, but I'm about to pass out.
And I'm moody.
And I'm PMSing.
*breathes*

Alright. Thanks for reading today's irritatingly short blog post,
-Jay
