They are not even doing anything sexually. Why is their inaction offending people?

There's social persuation going on against people who don't eat sandwitches - Some are saying "They don't eat sandwitches because they've never eaten the right one", Other are insisting that "They need to force fed", Cultists are forcing that "Refusing to eat sandwitches is a disorder/disease". Wide acceptance is lacking that there can be people who are beyond sandwitches.

    There's really not, no more than any other LGBTQIA+ persuasion. Every single thing you just listed goes for every single sexuality, i.e. 'spaghetti's only straight until it gets wet,' or 'I can fix her (referring to lesbians); every experiences that. That doesn't mean your experience isn't valid, but let's face it, if that's your complaint welcome to being accepted as a real human.

    Ace and aroace most often, in my experience, just get left out. Because like you wouldn't bring an atheist to debate the finer points of faith, it's not really great to bring an aroace to debate the finer points of sexuality.
