Hormone imbalance/deficinecy is a real thing, it isn't something I'm making up, if that's what you are wondering. There are medically standard, normal levels of sex hormones, and they can be checked with a simple blood test. I've had to get my levels checked multiple times for fertility treatments to be sure everything is working normal. Besides fertility, these hormones play an important role in sexual function, sex drive, energy level, mood, etc. And if something is not within normal range, like projesterone or testosterone, a person can take supplemental hormones to correct the levels. It's a real medical issue.

I'm not saying asexuality is caused by a hormone problem, I'm just speculating the possibility of it.... just taking a guess. I could be totally wrong of course. But if it is that, you seem to be saying we shouldn't acknowledge it as such. That's where I disagree. It should be acknowledged bc hormone deficiency/imbalance is a medical issue and if someone has it, it may be something the person chooses to have corrected. I'm not saying they have to, or that they are immoral if they dont. It's entirely their choice.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
