Yes, they are expected to have kids, but asexuals don’t have to be repulsed by sex, it just doesn’t interest them in and of itself. The one I mentioned plans to have children naturally if possible and doesn’t talk about sex as a horrifying ordeal, just a neutral prerequisite. If she were going to adopt, I’d expect her to talk about the paperwork similarly.
Impressed you said so publicly and hope it helps people feel less restrained from “coming out” in general. I would not have been able to do so were I in a position like yours. I was able to recently share something a few orders of magnitude less difficult to talk about.

As a member of the aforementioned subgroup, I endorse this representation. Well said.
