The amount of bullying I received for being asexual, this does not surprise me.

How on earth could a person be offended by someone being asexual lol

From my experience prejudiced people judge men, who are single for "too long", negatively because they must be secretly hiding their homosexuality. So to them, its all one and the same.

I'm biologically female, and I've had the same issue. I once had an elderly male acquaintance start loudly discussing my sexuality in a crowded cafe, announcing to the room that I must be a lesbian since I didn't have a romantic partner. He went on and on about it until everyone in the cafe was looking at me and laughing.
