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