Respect for Asexuals , the LGBTQ community and humans in general

On this platform, I just had a really good chat with someone who is an asexual female. Realized a couple of things. Sometimes, genders and people are much easier to understand. I was trying to be overly polite (I guess) but I realized during our conversation that they are not repelled by the idea of people finding them attractive. Compliments don't hurt as long as the boundaries are drawn loud and clear.

The only real difference, is that they simply do not get aroused, so any sexual conversation is pretty banal and may get super annoying at some point, but they are extremely aware of how others (non asexuals) may feel.

This is extremely basic, and almost a stupid post, but I appreciate how sometimes basic facts can be difficult to wrap your head around, and all you need is one good conversation

Facts come from science and facts don't have feelings

@WoWgirll anything that is true is a fact. Science or otherwise. If how you feel is true, then sure feelings are facts. So I dont know what you're talking about. I feeling nauseated today is absolutely a fact if I feel nauseated. To understand how someone feels a thing . "For example, if someone is blind from birth, they dream in elevated audio and other senses that they develop over the years to compensate for their absent visual sense." Is that not a fact to you?

@JerseyMike4Milk let me check my medical books if it's there yes

there a large overlap between science and facts but not all of science is fatual ( a lot of the research is anticipatory) and not all facts are discovered yet
