This being an old document, it's not surprising that it contains some questionable language/rhetoric:

- The asexual identity here is seen as something that only people who aren't into sex can be, which is a harmful notion that leads to gatekeeping and erasure of sex-neutral and sex-favorable aces;

- Pronoun usage is like "him/her" instead of "them";

- This seems to be from a radical feminist perspective, so I'm not sure how much of this is entrenched into anti-kink/monosexist/cissexist/colonialist/etc. rhetoric.

However, it's good to have a piece of asexual history around.
