This perception is supported by literature which indicates that asexuality“lack[s] social credibility” and suffers “social invisibility” across countries and cultures [30].Since asexuality is characterized by social invisibility, Kayla’s only desirable path forward toresisting was internal. She concluded that asexuality was not a useful or valid identity toexternally resist through, partly because it was socially invisible, and partly because she stillstruggled with her asexual identity development.
