About The Author

My name is Laura. I'm asexual, Muslim, and live near Seattle. I accepted Islam in 1999. You can follow me on Twitter at @muhajabah.

About The Site

This site features essays I have written about asexuality and Islam. Most of the essays first appeared on my Tumblr blog, Notes of an Asexual Muslim. Some were published on other sites, both asexuality-focused and Islam-focused.

More About Me

Besides the personal narratives shared on this site, a couple of other essays I've written about my story include:

  • The boyfriend that wasn't, and other tales of an asexual girlhood
  • Grad school, failure, and having been an asexual woman in science
  • Coming out of hiding: How isolation, erasure, and invalidation over asexuality have affected my mental health
