I think we need to really re-think what our stripes mean.
We could be representing a lot more in our asexual flag than what we have and I don't really mean what's on the right.
We can show romantic preferences (If any, because there are still aroace folk out there) with the heart system we've always used.
We could consider looking into representing infertility, celibacy, sexual-performing asexuals (so those who are asexual but will still perform acts for their employment or exclusively for their partner's happiness etc.
I feel asexuality is a difficult one to express an idea for especially as someone who is greysexual myself, because of it being such an umbrella spectrum of sexuality and you do not want to dishonour anyone.
I do however feel, in a very sex-driven, sex-sells environment, asexuals and those on the low libido scale do deserve a space to feel safe and secure.
I am going to personally look more into asexuality research wise because I do think we could be presenting more of ourselves better in the flag, do we need to redesign it necessary or use an alternative? Admittedly, I prefer people use whatever flag brings them comfort, but I would not be opposed to changes.
