To mark LGBT+ History Month and its theme of Activism and Social Change, we spoke with Yasmin Benoit — model, asexual activist, and researcher at King’s College London — about her groundbreaking report on Asexuality in the UK.

The discussion explores public attitudes toward asexual people, revealing alarming statistics and ongoing challenges, including the medicalisation and misunderstanding of asexual identities.

By giving visibility to voices often overlooked, this conversation highlights the urgent need to recognise, include, and support the asexual community within the wider LGBTQIA+ movement.
