Letters to an Asexual #59 (“You’re not qualified to discuss asexuality. You’re not a scientist!”)
This is #59 of a series in which I read correspondence between me and people who have questions, comments, or–more often–misconceptions about asexuality.
This Letter is a series of comments left on an article I had published in Psychology Today. The commenter attacked my credibility, kept asking the magazine to remove me for being unqualified (as if they were reading the comments), made a bunch of really ignorant comments about Tumblr and liberals and SJWs, and accused me of having a known history of mental illness, depression, self harm, and other issues I . . . literally have never had.
The two articles I’ve written for Psychology Today are linked below:
“Asexuality and the Health Professional”:

“Asexuality is Not a Diagnosis”

(This second one is the one that JS wrote these comments on.)
