There is a ton of useful information in the thread, do head over to Twitter & read!

Guess this is as good a time as any to say that I am probably somewhere on the ace spectrum? It like, makes no real difference to anything in my life (I am very happily married), but I guess standing up and being counted matters.

PS: Thank you again for that time you told me about Todd's asexuality arc in Bojack Horseman! That remains very meaningful to me, as the first time I saw asexuality explicitly represented in media.

You are most welcome! And yes, I struggle to think of other examples. Well.

Here is a clip from Sex Education. (No spoilers, but it's so nice to see representation.)
