ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike theyasminbenoit
"People often say I don't look asexual, and I don't dress asexual, but what do you think that looks like then?" she explains."I was trying to show the diversity of the community and, at the same time, give a tool back to others, so that they can represent themselves without relying on the media."
That said, Benoit's also quick to posit that while her asexuality and aromanticism have"never been a secret," it took her until that point to"realize I was filling a space and providing that visibility, especially for asexual minorities." That said, she also mentions that being a Black asexual activist is also an especially tenunous task, as there's a huge racial disparity when it comes to visibility.
However, in the uncut version posted online, Benoit said the comments about her were much more"sexually aggressive and racialized" than what the other white activists got."There was a lot more anger directed at me," she says."People find it harder to compute that a Black woman can be asexual just because we're hypersexualized a lot more."
