Dude, face it. Your argument holds no water. People don't HAVE to be attracted to gender. People don't HAVE to be attracted to looks. There are people who aren't attracted to anything at all. Like me. Are you gonna say I'm not ace? Are you gonna say something stupid like "oh you just haven't met the right person yet?" because I wouldn't be surprised if you did say that.

You’re right, they don’t have to be attracted to gender or anything, that’s why they’re labeled as asexual. When you form a emotional bond, you, someone or everyone else would have to know what the gender of the person is.

Asexual, aromantics dont form those bonds with people. That’s what the a in ace/aro means. A as in the root for not. And why is gender so important? People can form bonds with people without knowing the gender. And what would a person in a relationship with an agender person be considered? Huh?
