Very interesting and well-researched - I learned a lot. I liked the approached that Chen took here. My big takeaway is that emotional desire and attraction are separate from sex drive, and that it's all on a spectrum. You don't need to add in caveats - asexuality is not the same for everyone. Things also change over time. She talks about the unique issues that come with being asexual if you're non-cis or a person of color or have a mental or physical disability. There's some interesting stuff about feminism and the sexually liberated woman and also about masculine gender roles. She talks about ace representation in pop culture, and "gold star" aces and how the power of the ace movement does not depend on purity of origin (it doesn't matter why/how you choose to identify as ace).
