The Asexual Agenda 
Wow, that XOJane article is a trainwreck. I haven’t even finished it and I’m cringing.
I can respect what the author went through and that it must have been difficult for her, but… “what does your therapist say” is one of the first things out of her mouth? The whole way she writes about it is an excellent example of why we need better asexuality education.
Hmm, okay, in the interests of fairness, I’ll say it does get better towards the end.
You can see the SMH article author’s response to Jo, and Jo’s second response, here:

The author’s response to Jo is really not any better. She still doesn’t get it, and asks us to “agree to disagree” about whether we exist.
Dropping it in next week’s linkspam!
After my own correspondence with the SMH author, which ended similarly to Jo’s, I’ve published this as a response: https://aceintranslation.wordpress.com/2014/06/29/a-response-to-matty-silver-no-i-cannot-agree-to-disagree/
Dropping it in next week’s linkspam!
