I remember I had to come out of the closet to my adoptive mom as asexual like four times. She (unlike me) is Indian/Andamanian and asexuality comes off in her lifestyle like you’re being rebellious. It was only after a few times when she was like “oh she’s serious”.
About 30 years ago I had to explain to my boyfriend’s mom that LGBTQI+ people do not just choose to be LGBTQI+.
I didn’t know at the time whether I got through to her, but years later she told me she understood why that was true.
