The latest sexual orientation to be recognized by the Canadian Medical Association Journal is ‘greysexuality,’ a relatively new subset of asexuality.
Originally published on Dec. 4, the paper featured in Canada’s top medical journal discussed greysexuality as defined as someone who is “experiencing sexual attraction rarely or under specific circumstances.”
Demisexual and greysexual people can still “engage in sex and experience romantic attraction,” according to the article, which was co-authored by Stella A. Schneckenburger, Michelle W.Y. Tam and Lori E. Ross
The term was part of an article on asexuality, which is an umbrella term for those who only form a sexual attraction to someone after their emotional needs are met or for those who are greysexual.
Meet the team.

“Meet the team”
Dang. There’s some crazy-eye action there.
It’s not their eyes that are are getting the crazy action.
The it-woman in the upper right, in the photo, is a real winner.
The men look entirely effeminate. I would imagine the outcomes of the survey or findings would be considerably different if all of them weren’t “grey sexual” themselves or at least if the men had an ounce of testosterone. Hey guys, get laid. It is so much fun compared to video games. And stop white knightling. That’s not going to help. A man with a tattoo, beard and a Harley Davidson would strike gold in that group.
“Emmy lives with psychiatric disabilities and chronic illness.” It’s like a badge of honour, strangely enough.
“They grew up in Newfoundland but are now based in Toronto.” Unreadable from the confusion of pronouns. My brain automatically tries to correct it.
“W. Ariel Gould (they/them; she/her)” Wait, what?
“Meet the team” – Go F themselves comes immediately to mind. Do they have gender for that?
An early Woody Allen film (see link) touched on “grey sexuality” in Vignette #3 as in the link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_You_Always_Wanted_to_Know_About_Sex*_(*But_Were_Afraid_to_Ask)_(film)
Shot in Italy, it depicts Woody Allen’s wife as someone who can have sex only in a public place. Kinda funny, but other vignettes in the film are funnier.
That is a great movie. Surprisingly hard to find these days!
Years and years ago I played Little League baseball. The rule was that everyone had to play. And, at that age, I think it was a good rule (we’re talking about age 8 to 10). Invariably, left field was the place where you put your worst players, because it is where the ball was least likely to go.
My point?
Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you the equivalent of an eight year old with no co-ordination playing Little League baseball. Gender Studies “work” is nothing more than making sure everyone gets to play. On rare occasions the ball gets hit to them and they fumble around before doing their best to throw it to the infield, inadvertently tossing it awkwardly in the general direction they intended. The throw won’t accomplish anything as there is no focus, accuracy or clear intention. And, sometimes you’d have a player out there that just didn’t comprehend the fact that they weren’t any good at it. Those were the ones that always held a grudge against the other players and thought they should play more. In truth, the rest of the players were just condoning them out of courtesy.
So, the main point is that the time for courtesy is over. It’s time for someone to tell them they didn’t make the team.
An excellent analogy.

Some made/make the triple-bagger team!
Damn good analogy there Orson!
Geez, did I get my newish handle right or what?!
looks more like the group they should be studying
Ain’t that the truth. And their hard-drives too.

Dalla Lana School for Public Health was a source of cv19 “information” and policy. Their funding is interesting- big pharma. So woke.
Sounds like a sub-cell of Incels? I no longer will participate in this nonsense, I’d rather do jail time then validate the voices in those people’s heads.
That was going to be my comment … but Rose (she/her I presume) beat me to it. No, she didn’t beat me like these LGBTQ2s+/- incels dream of … she just got there faster … no, she didn’t get “there” faster like these weirdos spend every minute of the day dreaming about … sheesh. These freaks are what happens when people actually get PAID to practice their perversions. Good work if you can get it, eh?
A sub-cell of Incels? That could be a hard sell.
Oh. Old guys? Hey, wait!
See my comment after Orson’s last comment.
I was joking. I think. Let me check. LOL
The Canadian Medical Association Journal is a rag and has been for years. One could count on the fingers of one hand the number of physicians who read it, let alone take it seriously for anything other than the job postings in the classified section.
DrD
Those fingers, are they the ones on the amputated hand????
At “meet the team” …. at the bottom of the list, that is the least important person on the team, the one who “barely made the team” appears to identify as “they” and looks to be possibly transitioning to something he’s clearly not.
Good for “the team” to place “they” last, and least important, and possibly the one in charge of cleaning up the coffee cups (probably tea cups but whatever…) after the daily meeting. It’s important for “the team” to have some standards, however mediocre those standards are.
The hierarchy is everywhere!!! Just open your eyes people!!!
Yeah … that unfortunate-looking weirdo set my Transdar pinging … “RUN!” … “GET OUT!” … “GET AWAY!”
Team Parasites!
Too funny. Jenna Reid seems nice. She has that Taxi Driver badass “You lookin’ at me?” look. Lovely. Pro tip: You’re hipster trash.
Ariel Gould? Hard pass.
The chimps have the keys to the zoo.
“Pubic health?”
Well, that’s one way to get screwed.
Wow, it took me a little while to see the purpose of this study. It’s a further wedge in trying to rationalize their multitude of gender positions.
In short, they are pushing beyond the true purpose of the drop in libido and ignoring the medical cause. It could be any number of things (medication, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, neurological diseases and diet). Then they label it a whole new animal. You are a “greysexual.” No, you are an individual with a medical condition that effects your sexual drive. Without identify politics, these people wouldn’t have any politics at all…or purpose, most like.
It’s the same approach used in the creation of the “transgender” myth. IMO, they ignore the fact that “transgenderism” is a form of mental illness, and in their hubris ignore that cause to exclaim a false reality.
Orson
Mental issues, nothing more, nothing less!
Finally! A box I can check!
Anyone who identifies as “they” is a sicko. Period. A mental patient walking the streets, making the world a more dangerous place to live. Yes, “they” should be institutionalized. “They” aren’t on a spectrum of some kind … “they’re” sick, and need help.
Now there is a faculty that wouldn’t exist without subsidy.
They, Napoleon :
“They currently hold a SSHRC Doctoral Award for their research on social work with other-than-human animals.”
The funniest part about all this subdivision is that if you subdivide people across enough intersectional categories, you eventually get to the point where there are more permutations than there are people, and you’re back down to the level of the individual…which is, objectively speaking, the proper level of analysis. As Jordan Peterson says, “the intersectional types will get there eventually, if they don’t kill everyone first.”
And as an older gent who experiences sexual attraction “rarely and in exceptional circumstances”, I have to say that I’m glad I now have a category and am no longer an evil cis-het oppressor. Now that I’m officially a victim, I assume liberals will start kissing my ass.
This.
Think of the real value one teenage cashier at Canadian Tire making $16 per hour brings to our lives, compared to this colony of Sunshine Listers.
Mischief is Important:
Dear Canadian Medical Journal:
I read with interest your acknowledgment of the paper submitted December 4th, 2023 by co-authors Stella A. Schneckenburger BSc, Michelle W.Y. Tam MA, Lori E. Ross PhD entitled, “Asexuality”. Specifically, I was concerned with generalized labeling associated with the paper.
The term “greysexuality” is defined as someone who is “experiencing sexual attraction rarely or under specific circumstances.” While there are surely individuals who can be effectively placed within this category, the fact remains that there is likely a medical reason for their current state even if we are not in a position to diagnose the condition. So, rather than throwing an individual into a lump sum generalized category it behooves the Canadian Medical Journal to display a more scientific and clear intention as to the medical condition of the patient. Clearly, it is this individual’s hope that your publication doesn’t support creation of generalized terms in replacement of proper diagnosis of medical symptoms.
One could make a direct comparison between the use of the newly coined term, “greysexuality” and the term “retarded.” As you are aware, the term “retarded” has been all but retired from the lexicon due to its generalization and negative connotations. It’s not just the misuse of the word “retarded” that led to its blacklisting. In 2006, the American Association on Mental Retardation renamed itself to a more acceptable, American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
My question is simple. Is the Canadian Medical Journal willing to support a premise and a term that discounts the actual medical cause of a sexual condition (a symptom) and contribute to a generalization. How long until high school males are pressuring females into unwanted situations by labeling them a “greysexual?”
Canadian Medical Journal, you’re better than this. Or are you?
Sincerely,
XXXXX XXXXXXXXX
Does that mean that old guys like me who can still get a hard on can carry on. Don’t tell my wife. We still wrinkle the sheets, no pun intended.
Keep it up … so to speak … VOWG !! We’re not dead … till we’re dead.
Great team photo. Pity it doesn’t include any men.
“experiencing sexual attraction rarely or under specific circumstances.”
Otherwise known as “my ex”
How many shades of grey are there?
“Using postcolonial narrative methodology, this project employs a series of community-based story circles in order to critically explore how immigrant women’s stories of migration may challenge mental health approaches that are dominated by a colonialist biomedical ideology”
story circles…LOL
“You’re as cold as ice”….
I once met a haysexual, they could only be aroused in a barn.
