There's nothing wrong with well-written issuefic, and in fact, that's almost the entirety of first-wave identityfic in any new social movement. For most people it takes years to come up with background parity or other stories that aren't "about" the core identity. Look at the evolution of gay literature, for example. If you want to skip over the issuefic and go straight to background parity, that's fine.
In real life, many of those are things I've seen some of my ace friends encounter. In a culture as sexually obsessed as America, even if you're not thinking about sex, everyone around you usually is, and they make sure to drag you into that a lot.
