CMV: Asexual people are not a marginalized class of people

This distinction is not an arbitrary one for me. I define a marginalized class by their political exclusion, the severity of violence enacted against them, and the material and economic inequality they face. There is no threat of violence against asexual people in the way there is a threat of violence against gay, lesbian, transgender or any other LGBT+ identification. Asexual people are not kicked out of their homes. Asexual people are not killed by homophobes. Asexual people are not castrated by doctors like intersex people are. Asexual people are not refused job opportunities or upward momentum in their careers. Any instance of I have seen of asexual person claiming they are oppressed I would not see as different from normal bullying, which is nonetheless wrong, but distinct from a systemic exclusion. As a consequence, I also believe that asexual people claiming the experience of oppression, muddies our understanding of what oppression means since it can just mean "getting made fun of for being different is oppression" rather than oppression being understood for what it really is: a persistent systemic violence against a powerless class of people.

At least as far as I understand, this is my position as of now, and am open to change. I once felt that asexual people claiming that you can love having sex and be asexual also didn't make sense, but I was convinced otherwise. I hope this doesn't sound too soap-boxy, but I want to explain my position clearly, and not just pretend my position is neutral, but explain the stakes for defining things this way.

With that in mind, seems there's two ways I would change my mind. Show my definitions are flawed (this might be harder) or convince me asexual people fit in the definition I have provided.

That sounds like "oppressed".  But marginalized means just what it says on the tin: relegated to the margins.  Not centered in thought or discourse.  Treated as insignificant or peripheral.

Asexual people aren't oppressed, but they certainly are marginalized.  We build our society around dating and marriage, and build our concept of dating and marriage around sexuality.  We treat marriages as invalid without sex, consider attraction crucial to a functioning relationship.  This absolutely relegates asexual people to the margins.
