It’s okay if you identify as ace because of trauma.
It’s not? That means you’re not actually ace and probably repressing your actual sexuality.
^^^ it’s not psychologically healthy to do that!! That’s not how you’re supposed to cope, please talk to a therapist or doctor if you do this
Many people who have already been through therapy find that trauma permanently changes how they interact with others and experience attraction. This is not an anti-recovery statement; it's an acknowledgement that for some people this is the process they have gone through and the conclusion they have come to during their journey. These people are welcome in ace spaces if that's where they feel comfortable, and I hope that they continue to make progress in their recovery, whatever that looks like for them.
