Do You View Erasure as a Problem?

Even though ive talked to a few other asexuals about it I still feel so unsure about it because its like the whole damn world doesnt believe in you. I had a hard enough time figuring out I wasnt straight, and feeling confident enough to describe myself as such and be able to defend myself in that regard. It helps because theres a lot of resources about that and generally people acknowledge its a thing. Maybe they think its a bad thing or a wrong thing or whatever, but at least they know what you mean when you say youre gay. With asexuality though, im hesitant even to call myself it, because for 18 years i didnt know it existed. And even now that I am confident that its a legit thing and i can be sure of that, i have a hard time being sure that im ace myself. i was talking with a psychologist a few months ago and mentioned i think im asexual and he got this look. and didnt say anything really. but i could see his skepticism and all i could hear in my head where the voices of everyone who asks about your hormone levels, if youre depressed, about self esteem issues and all those other "explanations" for why this person thinks theyre asexual. like its not real, like its a symptom, like it should be "fixed". i havent said a thing to my new therapist because things are going well and i dont want to lose that. when i was looking up therapists in my area there was one who specifically helped out LGBT people and was queer herself. The erasure within the LGBT community is so disheartening to me because its the one place we should be safe to talk about it. But there is no assurance that a LGBT therapist will recognize asexuality is a legit thing. and so many of those who do recognize that asexuality is legit dont do anything about it. they dont defend us or bother to add the QIA to their acronym. Becuase its too hard to type out an extra two letters that can make someone feel seen. and lately theres been a lot of talk of "sex positivity" and in a lot of those discussions i feel really alienated and excluded. Basically i guess erasure from LGBTQIA communities just feels like someone kicking you while youre down. this is a really jumbled mess of a rant or whatever haha sorry!!
