As of this writing, the feature contains a couple of inaccuracies.<\/p>\n[1] The article’s introduction claims that “[Decker] explains that asexual people can become sexual later in life, and that doesn\u2019t mean they were not asexual before. Similarly, sexual people can become asexual,\u201d and this is misleading. I discuss both sexual fluidity and label experimentation in my book, but it is part of a more nuanced discussion; I do not say “asexual people sometimes ‘become sexual’ later\u201d or vice versa, and I think including it in this introduction contributes to the damaging perception that asexuality is just a phase. For most people, sexual orientation is a lifelong piece of identity, and the invalidation asexual people experience at the hands of the “you’ll grow out of it\u201d myth makes this at best inaccurate.<\/p>\n[2] As for “Decker has written for the Huffington Post, The Daily Beast and Salon\u201d–That’s incorrect. I have been interviewed in all of those publications but have never written for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
