Kate Marple

The tables are turned in this episode of Identity Tales where Kate talks about the experience of growing up as an asexual woman, and what it's like to be part of the largely invisible A in the LGBTQIA mix. Melissa Bergstrom steps in as interviewer while Kate reflects on the incredible power of learning you aren't the only one of something. Together they unpack the burden and joy of trying to imagine a future for yourself that isn’t reflected anywhere in culture...pop or otherwise.

Editor's Note: While it's not discussed specifically in this episode, there is a difference between someone's sexual and romantic orientations, and they shouldn't be conflated or confused. People who identify as asexual, can also identify as aromantic, homoromatic, biromantic, or heteroromantic. In other words, it's a spectrum!
