6/11/2023 0 Comments Angela chen ace![]() Throughout the work, blurbed by Bitch editor-in-chief Evette Dionne, Chen interviews asexual and aromantic people of all stripes to construct a vivid portrait of how the identity intersects with others, including those based on race, gender, and disability. This nonfiction, journalistic book isn’t just for the ace community-allosexual people (non-aces) can also benefit from considering a life that doesn’t prioritize sex and romance above all else. In her new book Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex, Chen-a friend of mine who I’ve come to know through asexual (or ace) circles-explores the identity not only in the context of how we develop our sense of self, but also in the context of our relationships with other people. Asexuality, or, generally speaking, the lack of sexual attraction, isn’t a new orientation, but the internet has made it significantly easier for people to learn about the identity’s nuances and meet like-minded friends and partners. ![]() Science and tech journalist Angela Chen is asexual.
