Courtney: Hello everyone, and welcome back. My name is Courtney. I am here with my spouse, Royce, and today we have a special guest on the podcast. Kate: I dating an asexual person the research director of the The Ace And Aro Collective in Australia, and I have written a very long, words, study into acephobic discrimination, violence, and oppression. And the reason that I have gone into the hobby of researching acephobic violence is because I am myself a survivor of corrective sexual assault. Courtney: And that is so commendable. And we are so excited to talk to you about that. Because I am definitely a geek for the numbers, for the survey, so I am interested in really getting into the nitty-gritty of your research here. Courtney: And before we do dive in, because I also am a survivor of sexual assault and I know that there is still — in certain pockets of the Ace community — this stigma around that. Kate: Well, while my research has focused primarily on people who were sexually assaulted because they are asexual, and — which is my experience — not the other way around, which is people who became asexual because they were sexually assaulted. They are completely asexual, they belong in our community, they are part of that community and they should be welcomed and included. Everybody who is asexual, or everybody who identifies as asexual, in my opinion, regardless of the reason why they identify. Their experience should be considered valuable and just part of the, you know, rich experience of our whole community. Courtney: Hear, hear. It does not matter. If someone is ace and identifies as Ace, they are ace. And some people who have been asexual in the past become not asexual through who knows what reason. Courtney: Oh absolutely. Which also gets into matters of conversion therapy, which we are definitely going to cover as we get into your study here. Courtney: So as we start to move forward, I do want to just sort of ask you a little bit about your approach and your process. But our report has been put out by a legitimate nonprofit organization. And that kind of research is put out all the time. So I was able to write the report in a way that, although it is pages long, it does make it a little bit more accessible for people to read. And I think that that means it makes it easier for the people who this report is about to actually read about themselves. Royce: There are a lot of accessibility issues in all kinds of both academic and legal writing. I wish methods of writing were taught more heavily in academic circles that would actually make them more accessible to the— the dating an asexual person public. Kate: Yeah. Courtney: Oh, absolutely. And there is definitely something to be said as well for in-community activism, and research, and study, and— Because you— you are a member of the Ace community, you have your own unique sets of lived experiences that no doubt helped shape the way you approach things, which I think is very valuable. And I do wish there was more, I guess, sort of collaboration between traditional academics and the communities that they are actually studying. Courtney: Perfect. Then we will have all of that in the regular places for those of you listening now. So I would like to know what you found most surprising dating an asexual person this process, that you were maybe not expecting that you found. Kate: What I found surprising was when I got to look at the numbers for intimate partner violence. That was really hard to get a meaningful and useful number out of, which I explain why in the report. But I was surprised by how many asexual people experience intimate partner violence. And I was also surprised to find a very clear pattern in how intimate partner violence is experienced by asexual people. Kate: And what I think would be most surprising to someone else… I would probably dating an asexual person the same thing again. And I say that because I attended the human rights conference for World Pride recently and I read out some of my numbers there. So I read out some of the figures for the most important things I had, and it was extremely gratifying to get an audible gasp from the audience. What— what are some of those sort of shocking figures and the pattern that you saw as it emerged. So using those numbers, which is people who I feel like nobody could deny that this was genuine intimate partner violence. Because some people they only tick the boxes for things like the acephobic intimate partner violence, which in my opinion does count, but I would say there are people who would say it does not count. I only use the people that no one would deny it. And how I got to that figure I explain in the report.

I love Cody's prose and the way everything is explained in a simple, yet powerful way. Change your mindset and perceptions to live your best asexual life. Kate: It does count. Well, what did you think? Asexualität ist natürlich kein neues Phänomen, aber in letzter Zeit steigt das öffentliche Interesse daran, ebenso wie an sexueller Orientierung und Fluidität, also ein oder mehrere Wechsel der sexuellen Identität, allgemein. So that was good. And I find it so interesting. The man is expected to have it active, and the woman is expected to have a more of a passive sexual desire. Yeah so, that was an unexpected result. Full content visible, double tap to read brief content. I mean, it was only published in English. Courtney: [laughs] Love the pun and the honesty. Oktober Because, yeah, HSDD is the one that a lot of people do discuss, and it did get split and it is odd. Like— Yeah, this just— this feeling like nothing that can happen to an asexual person really counts. Understand the effects of childhood trauma, and how to recognise patterns and trauma abuse cycles, so you can stop them. We need to start doing something. But what other sort of types were there? Kate: Yeah. Kate: One thing I find quite concerning about this as well is the number of young— especially young men, who appear to not be aware that they have the right to say no. Because I am definitely a geek for the numbers, for the survey, so I am interested in really getting into the nitty-gritty of your research here. You know, a lot of these people also were gender diverse so they may have felt discriminated against for being asexual and being gender diverse, and it was the gender diversity that made them leave. Cody Daigle-Orians. Courtney: Yeah, I think that would be incredibly fascinating.
