Ah, I didnât know allo was actually part of the ace spectrum, I just assumed it was another m-spec label based around how many anti-allo comments Iâve seen and didnât look into it,, ,
Yeah, it would make more sense to call them allo and not strictly ace, but I still like to think of asexuality as some kind spectrum and has smaller, more specific identities like allo and demi under it, since these people simply donât feel sexual attraction under most circumstances, hence âasexualâ.
They actually exist and theyâre called âsex-positive acesâ. Itâs a little deeper than âchoosingâ not to have sexual relations. They can feel the attraction in their mind, but itâs highly unlikely theyâll be able to physically feel the attraction. Their opposite are âsex-negative acesâ, which are the typical ace. These are the specific kinds of aces Iâd like people to be aware of, because if anything theyâre the most likely ones to have the feeling of being âbrokenâ.
Now before this sounds like Iâm fighting for aces to be LGBT+, Iâm just gonna drop this that I donât think cishet aces should be considered LGBT+, but any nb/trans/gay/lesbian/multi/etc aces can be considered so because of those things and those things only
I just want to make people aware that the ace spectrum is exactly how people describe bi as an umbrella term:
Thereâs asexuality, the term that describes everyone on the spectrum, but not everyone is fully ace. You have allos and demis and any other a-spec identities I possibly donât know about that better describe how they feel.
The point here of my rambling is that yeah, there are aces, but that doesnât take away the fact that some people are simply more comfortable identifying as ace even if allo or demi works better because people canât mind their damn buisness and jump down peopleâs throats saying âbruh you canât be demi, thatâs just a normal personâ. For that reason, I believe asexuality should be considered a spectrum, for everyone under that label donât normally feel sexual attraction, but not everyone under it is fully ace.
while Iâm here, if anyone sees this, please quit calling us aces âboringâ or refusing to date us because you âwonât get laidâ, or portraying us as unhappy, bland loners in your fiction :/
