>Essentially if we dilute being asexual to meaning "not being attracted to humans" it loses the meaning it initially had
Yes, but that's the problem with the original meaning: it is not biologically realistic.
We are born with an imperative to reproduce, to touch our genitals to something that makes us feel good, essentially. Usually the opposite sex, so that we may make babies and continue the species.
>if I'm interested in sticking my dick inside of lightbulbs, and I tell people I'm asexual, instead of getting that meaning, they'll assume I'm not attracted to anything at all, the original meaning.
That is your problem. Assumptions make an ass out of u and me. It's unavoidable. But you can always explain to them that you are actually exclusively attracted to mayonnaise.
>Ultimately there's no reason to repurpose a word that already has a meaning into something that it does not mean
When has a word been fully established? I don't think the majority of the gender-trend vocabulary has been entirely established at all. So there is still plenty of time to forge the words into something that is practical.
