I know it's not something you're making up but I'm saying that there's nothing unhealthy about an absence of sex hormones and it's not a deficiency if you're an asexual. Obviously it's a problem if you're a sexual person who wants to have a sex drive and wants to have sex and wants to be fertile, but it's not a problem or a deficiency if you're an asexual person with no desire for sex.
I know you're speculating but I'm saying I don't see how it's even possible for true asexuality to be problematic or unhealthy. If someone really has no sex drive or desire for sex, then there's no problem. It's only a problem for sexual people who have lost their sex drive and want it back. As I said, all the arguments about asexuality being unhealthy seem to rely on the premise that asexuals aren't really asexual and that they do have a sex drive but they're denying it or they're sexphobic. If we're talking about someone genuinely having no sex drive, who was born with no sex drive and has no desire for a sex drive or interest in sex, then how can that be unhealthy or a problem? An absence is not a deficiency.
