aseibility

Aseibility is a term that combines "accessibility" and "asexuality," referring to the intersection of these two concepts. It is a social movement that aims to make spaces and communities more accessible and welcoming to asexual people. Asexuality is a spectrum of sexual orientations characterized by a lack of sexual attraction to others. Aseibility seeks to address the challenges asexual people face in social spaces, such as assumptions about their sexuality, lack of representation, and the need for safe spaces to discuss their experiences.

The movement promotes the creation of asexual and aromantic (lack of romantic attraction) spaces, both online and offline, where people can connect, share experiences, and advocate for their rights. It also works to increase visibility and representation of asexual and aromantic people in media, education, and public discourse. Aseibility advocates for policies that protect asexual people from discrimination and harassment, and works to challenge societal norms that pathologize asexuality.

The term "aseibility" was coined in 2014 by asexual activist and writer, Alex Pankhurst. It has since gained traction as a way to describe the unique challenges faced by asexual people and to advocate for their rights. The movement is diverse and inclusive, welcoming people of all genders, races, and backgrounds. It is an ongoing effort to create a more accepting and understanding world for asexual and aromantic people.
