The CDC apparently hasn't noticed us yet

Just saw a report today. Between 2011-2013 The CDC surveyed over 10,000 people ages 18-44 and asked questions about sexual attraction, sexual experiences and identity orientation

That's disappointing :(

This com dates from 2002 and AVEN from 2001. I'm not sure we yet DO have public notice.

I was less disappointed in the omission of "asexuality" than I am in the dropping of a "neither" category. If they let us say we aren't attracted to anyone, we are still measured, if not labeled. If the only option is to opt out or say "unsure," we can't even really take the survey. Even if they've never heard of asexuality, you'd hope the researchers would consider that "neither" could be a possible answer worth counting.

Oh good. Please update if she gets a response!
