If so then all sexualities are disordered. Same argument can be used for gay people as they can't naturally make babies which is the purpose of why sex exist in the first place.
It can merely be considered a disorder if it's caused by a medical issue which it isnt't because then it isn't asexuality but a medical issue that can be fixed. It's kind of like how people seem to love pancakes which I, personally, am pretty indifferent towards and can many times find that it looks delicious but once I take a bite i'm like "meh" and don't want it.
"Same argument can be used for gay people as they can't naturally make babies which is the purpose of why sex exist in the first place."
Yes, and it is a very legitimate argument against homosexuality.
Asexuality is a sexuality; a sexuality is a disposition; a disposition is imposed by the will; the will chooses based upon the intellect, claiming what is to be disposed towards and what is to be disposed against. Now, certain dispositions are according to the natural order; in this case, that disposition is heterosexuality. Other dispositions are -not- according to the natural order, thus they are dis-ordered.
BUT a disorder is not necessarily an inherent cause of evil, since, in some cases, they cause no evil, such as in asexuality, and, in other cases, they are offset by the ordered portion of the will (as in chaste homosexuality).
Dispositions (as sexualities are) are not a medical issue, but an issue of the will, which can be changed via the intellect.
IIN people hate on asexuals for no reason
