I’m biologically female, and I’ve had the same issue. I once had an elderly male acquaintance start loudly discussing my sexuality in a crowded cafe, announcing to the room that I must be a lesbian since I didn’t have a romantic partner. He went on and on about it until everyone in the cafe was looking at me and laughing.
I just don’t understand the obsession with discussing other people’s private lives. It’s private for a reason. That episode would be enough for me to break contact with that person permanently.
It doesn’t even need to be private, though. You could be public about your asexuality and people still shouldn’t make a big deal about it. You aren’t into sex? Cool, I don’t like coffee.

Sometimes when I talk to people, they seem to earnestly believe half the population is only good for being incubators. >.>
