Description
Both the asexual and disability communities often marginalize disabled asexuals. While asexuals proclaim their nondisabled status as proof that asexuality is a legitimate orientation, disabled people rail against the asexual label in order to fight stereotypes and empower disabled sexuality. This further marginalizes those who are both disabled and asexual.
