Being oppressed means being handicapped mentally, emotionally, physically and even socially. 

 

Before announcing that I am asexual in any of my social circles, I certainly do not feel oppressed in anyway. Many think of me as a social butterfly eventhough I am more of an introvert. 

After announcing? I do get some sarcastic and ignorant remarks but it doesn't bother me and it doesn't change who I am and it has not affected my job or how people in general perceive me. 

 

So in a nutshell I'm not oppressed. 

Same here. May be different for younger people (i.e. teenagers), but this is my experience too.

Yeah... for the teenagers, they are trying desperately to fit in and not be ostracized from society. But if they have solid family support, its not as bad.
