Hi there!

I enjoyed reading your page and I think that you make a lot of really interesting points! The topic is super relevant to important discussions surrounding sexuality and self-identification that have been emerging recently. You organized your page well, the subheadings make the material easy to read. I liked how you defined a number of key terms and made note that these are only a few of many terms of self-identification.

I have a couple of suggestions that may add to your page! - you could include an interview (possibly from a newspaper or magazine) from someone who identifies as asexual in order to explore their experiences. I think this would support your analysis and add an important personal element - the picture you included doesn't seem to be appearing, this should be an easy fix! - I think it would be beneficial to make the intersectionality between sexual orientation and other factors more clear. Maybe create a subheading discussing these possible intersections and what it means in terms of your broader topic?

Good job :)

This is a really interesting topic and I learned a lot! As with any sexuality label, no single definition has the ability to fully encompass the experience of all those who identify. – this sentence is confusing; it feels unfinished I think it would be helpful to expand a little on the connections between asexuality and other variables, like gender (females), age (older- how old?), and religion. Are people truly asexual or are they repressing their feelings? What qualifies as asexuality – is it a self-label or are there other ways to determine whether someone is asexual or not? For example, Catholic priests are not supposed to have sex at all. Are they asexual? Is it enough for them to define themselves as asexual for them to be put into this category?
