France has made a powerful step towards challenging the idea that sex is a legal expectation within marriage. What this means for asexual rights, from @theyasminbenoit.bsky.social

French marital reforms are an important step forward for women and asexual people

Challenging the societal standard that not having sex is a problem would be a positive for everyone

First publication of the year! It's an honour to be featured in the latest "Resilience" issue of BRICKS Magazine, where I speak about the trials and tribulations of asexual activism, and why resilience is necessary. 💜 Check out the article here: bricksmagazine.co.uk/2025/03/31/m...

Delighted to have worked with leading asexual campaigner @theyasminbenoit.bsky.social on this new research. Our experimental study suggests misconceptions about asexuality may be common, and that asexual people are likely to face greater hostility than other groups www.kcl.ac.uk/news/asexual...

I'm in Glamour Germany (!!!) speaking about the distinction between lust, libido and sexual arousal, my new German documentary and why asexuality doesn't need to be "cured." 💜 Read the article here: www.glamour.de/artikel/lust...

With the release of my German documentary on sexual desire, I spoke to Siegessaeule Magazine about asexual conversion therapy, our place in the LGBTQ+ community and intersectionality! It's been great to continue raising awareness internationally. 🤍 www.siegessaeule.de/magazin/star...

Had a fabulous time speaking about my asexual advocacy work as part of the @avenofficial.bsky.social mini ace conference! Thanks for having me. Great to hear about the amazing work done by @theyasminbenoit.bsky.social, the AVEN team, Pragati Singh and David Jay.

Screenshot of a livestream. On the left is live video of Yasmin Benoit and a live video of Sarah below speaking. On the right is a slide Sarah is referring to which says: "I believe the most common question I get when I am asked about being Ace is generally something like oh so you are like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory?"

"This is what asexual looks like. It looks like me. It looks your cool ‘single’ aunt. It looks like your best guy friend who has never tried to hit on you. It looks like a Hijabi university student." Thank you all for the positive reception to my Playboy article! 💜🤍 www.playboy.com/read/influen...

Warsaw memories! It was a pleasure raising awareness of asexuality in Poland a few months back. I love being able to visit places where these conversations happen less often. I have some exciting trips planned for 2025, so look out for those announcements! #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike

"Aces deserve equality. Aces deserve protection. Aces deserve recognition. Aces deserve support. Aces deserve to be heard." I wrote an blog for Stonewall about asexual discrimination in the UK and how my research is being used to influence legislation: www.stonewall.org.uk/news/progres...
