little_miss Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Yay, for visibility in Australia! The video was well done and the people who were featured did a great job explaining asexuality. It was great to hear demisexual and grey_A get a mention. Link to post Share on other sites

elijah_aus Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'm quite happy... it wasn't quite as embarassing as I thought it'd be. Thought it was quite professionally done as well... Great for visibility. I want to thank Antoinette and her team at ABC for their efforts - and their unbias report. Link to post Share on other sites
SpirallingSnowy Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 It was really well done.... glad to see ya on here Elijah :) Link to post Share on other sites
henrik Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I found the opening graphic to be completely inappropriate and the sex therapist to be a close minded bigot who wanted just to be insulting for the sake of it. But other than that it was a pretty good standard affair. Link to post Share on other sites
rosalie Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I thought it was very well done and showed a neutral / positive image of asexuals, we need some more of this kind of reports everywhere in the world! Link to post Share on other sites
that_american_kid Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I found the sex therapist to be a close minded bigot who wanted just to be insulting for the sake of it. Yeah, why do segments on Asexuality always have to include one of those? The British one recently didn't, which I loved, but goshdarnit, they've always got to have some asephobic therapist on there getting all upset because we're happy sexless.

Shadow girl Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 You guys did great on it. The therapist just doesn't get it but I hope that they will accept it at some point in the future. Link to post Share on other sites
