"Toward a global asexual solidarity beyond identity"

Also my new article with @mcsociology.bsky.social references some studies done outside of the US & UK that may be useful as well! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Hope this helps!

“Asexuality in China’s sexual revolution: asexual marriage as coping strategy”

“Constructions of asexual identity in China: intersections of class, gender, region of residence, and asexuality”

“Patterns of asexuality in China: sexual activity, sexual and romantic attraction, and sexual desire”

“Asexual geographies: the allosexualisation of space in Ireland”

“Asexual identity in a New Zealand national sample: demographics, well-being, and health”

“Understanding sexual orientation identity, sexual/romantic attraction, and sexual behavior beyond western societies: the case of Japan”

Here are some readings/studies that come to mind:

“Who is queer enough for queer research?: the issue of absence within queer research” (I discuss two cases of ace asylum seekers in this article) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

“An aromantic manifesto” queer.archive.work/library/down...

This was a delightful roast to read -- both for myself & my students 😂

I study asexuality for a living. You can read my thoughts on why Rowling threw her anti-ace hissy fit here: cantonwiner.substack.com/p/and-then-j...

Thank you! And even more important to continue these discussions as well in future research!

While this article addresses the issue of asexuality being absent from queer research, it also engages in conversations about the relationship between asexuality, the state, legibility, immigration, and ace asylum seekers!
