Did the woman reveal herself to be asexual? No? Then yes - it is very much speculation.

There are also forums for bronies, furries, wizards, witches and pretty much anything you can imagine. This is the internet, after all and people can call themselves and present themselves as whatever they like.

Really? Citation, please. Again, this is the internet - misinformation, hearsay and conjecture are not difficult to come by.
I don't know if she's asexual or not. I'm suggesting it as an option. Nowhere do I say I'm certain she is. So yes, that would be speculation. But not when it comes to the general remarks I made about asexuality, which by the way is what you initially considered speculation, not my comment about the woman specifically. Do remember that.
Go here and take your pick of the studies on asexuality:

And a link to the forum for asexual people:

Please go ahead and tell them you don't acknowledge that they are asexual. I don't think they'd take too kindly to that.
