British spelling: to make something asexual, remove sexual characteristics, or become asexual in nature.
From asexual + -ise (British verb-forming suffix), following British preference for -ise over -ize that became standardized in 19th-century British publishing.
In British textbooks, you'll see asexualise used to describe how certain organisms reproduce without sex—like bacteria dividing—while Americans would write asexualize, but both mean the exact same thing.
British spelling variant; carries same historical weight as 'asexualization' through forced sterilization and reproductive control, often gendered in application.
Distinguish asexual identity from forced medical procedures. Use 'forced sterilization' for historical violence, 'asexual' for consensual identity.
["sterilize","asexual (identity)"]
Asexual spectrum individuals have built affirming community. Reproductive justice movements center women's bodily autonomy against historical coercion.
