I did it! It was an honour to be the first asexual person to lead @PrideInLondon! Asexual representation matters. Our recognition matters. Our protection matters. Our voices matter. We matter. Thank you all for your support throughout the day! 💜 #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike

The new award for creepiest headline goes to... It's 2022 & editors are still placing this much emphasis on a woman's "virginity," a concept which should have been retired centuries ago, with made up quotes and a complete misunderstanding (and misrepresentation) of my asexuality.

Yes I'm asexual. Yes I marched in the #PrideInLondon parade. Yes I did it dressed like this. Yes aces are part of the LGBTQIA+ community! Stay mad because we're not going anywhere. 🏳️‍🌈💜♠️ #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike

Asexual people deserve to be protected by the Equality Act. We deserve to be protected by the ban on conversion therapy. We should not be pathologised in the ICD. I'm going to keep campaigning for that and wearing fishnet tights, so prepare to be mad for a while. 💜🖤

Asexual people deserve equal rights. We deserve legal recognition. We deserve protection. Thank you @stonewalluk for allowing me to march with you again at #PrideInLondon today & for helping me to bring about this change. 💜🖤 #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike #IStandWithStonewALL

Despite JK Rowling's attempts to hijack International Asexuality Day, all she succeeded in doing was amplifying it, showing why asexual awareness matters, what acephobia looks like, and how unhinged she is. She played herself.

I can't think of anyone in a worse position to criticise me for supposedly "not making sense." Not a single person.

It's a bikini with tights, cargo chaps, boots and some accessories, in the colours of the asexual flag. In hindsight, I should have worn less considering I was marching in a heatwave. No trousers next time. Hope that explains it!

Replying to @theyasminbenoit and @PrideInLondon
Also can someone explain the outfit to me? An asexual person, wearing a highly sexualised outfit? What is that supposed to be? It's like something out of full metal jacket - a soldier wearing a peace symbol. I don't get what you are trying to convey? Is it "look at me, you can't

The fact that asexuality is now trending in the US because conservatives hate the outfit I wore to Pride in London that much. If you don't want me to have attention, maybe stop retweeting my photos? 💀

NO I WILL NOT. Don't believe everything you read. This is entirely false and needs to be amended. You can't just use my image with ANYTHING. @TheSun @RodMcPheeTheSun

Oh that was a bad move. As soon as I saw that TERFs were starting to target the asexual community too, I knew they'd summon the bitter Kraken eventually. JK Rowling is as toxic as the mould on her walls. Attacking marginalised groups and riling to her minions is her oxygen.

Happy International Fake Oppression Day to everyone who wants complete strangers to know they don't fancy a shag.

"Standing Up For Women" unless they're Black, asexual and don't look like someone ordered Jayne Mansfield on Temu. The gender critical crowd continue to out themselves. Keep talking about me in a field while I'm drinking expensive wine in the VIP lounge.

In a disgusting show of misogyny, gender critical cult leader Kellie-Jay Keen (aka Posie Parker) today described Yasmin Benoit as “looking like she likes sex” and then went on to describe her as looking like “a cheap bottle of wine”. Party of Women?! Unbelievable.

Why would an ‘asexual’ (someone not interested in sex) dress in bondage gear and fishnet tights? Might Yasmin actually just be what we used to call ‘an attention seeker’? Answers on a postage stamp.

You only associate "asexual energy" with young white blonde women who don't identify as asexual?
