gay people: most of us identified as split attraction aspec labels at some point as a way to mask and fuel our internalised homophobia and it really harms people for a long time, people in these spheres should be encouraging critical thinking and reflection when identifying with these terms instead of painting them as the flawless be-all and end-all

everyone, for some reason: so you’re saying i can’t be ace? you’re saying every single ace is just a closeted gay? you big bitch? you’re saying aces don’t exist?
