“To some extent, we all come with a sexual expectation attached to our bodies. It becomes internalised, reinforced, and replicated through the major veins of society: in the workplace, the doctor’s office, at home, on TV, movies, in books. I haven’t met one other asexual person who has not, at some point, internalised their sexuality with social narratives and expectations. Sometimes we don’t even know we do it. Sometimes we’re our own worst gatekeepers.”
