I once had someone point to my bisexuality as to why they thought I was “ace in denial”
A lot of aspecs identify as bisexual before they realize they’re aspec because “they feel the same amount of attraction to everyone, which is none” and this person made the argument that since I identified as bi and aro I must have just been in denial. Then they proceeded to explain “allonormativity” to me which was extremely ironic.
Anyways, reminder that speculating on other people’s identities and claiming you know their experiences better than them is Really Fucked Up. Don’t do that!
Also reminder that alloaro erasure does, in fact, effect real life people in real life situations. This isn’t just a tumblr issue or a chronically online take, aros deserve to be recognized as separate from asexuality.
